\"Thai<\/a>Bangkok, Thailand, April 19, 2023 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Sabre Corporation announced a renewed distribution agreement with Thai Airways. The flag carrier will also be using Sabre\u2019s robust data combined with its consultancy services to help it accelerate recovery.<\/p>\n

The Global Distribution System (GDS) renewal ensures that Sabre-connected travel agencies will continue to have access to Thai Airway\u2019s content globally, while enabling the airline to retain its reach across Sabre\u2019s valuable network of global travel buyers and intermediaries. Meanwhile, Thai Airways will also be taking advantage of Sabre\u2019s extensive global booking data to help it identify recovery and growth opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to ramp up operations and resume international flights, it is essential to us that we are able to continue to distribute our fares, offers and itinerary to travel agents, and their customers, across the world,\u201d said Mr. Korakot Chatasinga, Chief Commercial Officer, Thai Airways. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have renewed our distribution deal with Sabre at the same time as being able to harness the power of Sabre\u2019s robust booking data and industry expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Primarily operating from Suvarnabhumi Airport as well as its secondary hub in Phuket, Thai Airways typically serves around 40 international destinations, and is a founding member of the Star Alliance, the world’s largest global airline alliance. It has so far resumed a significant proportion of its pre-pandemic international flights, and is forging ahead with further recovery and growth plans. With Thailand surpassing its tourist number targets last year, and expecting further recovery, particularly from the Chinese travel market, Thai Airways is poised to play an important role in future industry growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Sabre will continue to be a key part of Thai Airways\u2019 journey as the carrier, and the country, continue to experience strong travel demand,\u201d said Rakesh Narayanan, Vice President, Regional General Manager, Asia Pacific, Travel Solutions Airline Sales. \u201cOur booking data includes detailed insights on itinerary, origin, connection, passenger type, length of stay and other booking patterns. However, it\u2019s important not just to have access to such data, but to be able to interpret and make the best use of it to support an airline\u2019s business strategy and growth. Sabre will be providing consulting services to help identify areas of potential opportunity for Thai Airways to increase efficiencies and enhance future revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n
