The following is for attribution to\u00a0Kristin Hays, vice president \u2013 global communications for Sabre:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;After a successful 20-year relationship, Air India has decided to discontinue distributing its content through the Sabre GDS. Consequently, Air India content is no longer available to Sabre-connected travel agencies, effective&nbsp;Jan. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are very disappointed that Air India decided to withdraw from Sabre. We believe that access to Sabre&#8217;s global network of travel agencies provides great value to Air India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have worked with Air India for the better part of a year to reach a new agreement, in anticipation of the existing contract expiring and after receiving a termination notice from the carrier. Unfortunately, after extensive negotiations, we have been unable to come to a new agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our teams will continue to work with Air India to finalize an agreement that meets the needs of Sabre, Air India and travel buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Sabre remains committed to GDS agreements that meet our airline customers&#8217; unique needs while also balancing the needs of the travel buyers who rely on Sabre for robust travel content.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jpg.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jpg.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jpg-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/jpg-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), the leading software and technology company that powers the global travel industry, issued a statement today regarding its relationship with Air India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[797,7890,89,5637,8222,5992,2203,5500,4957,5676,1397,868],"tags":[1977,539,420,160,1925,4512,655,3835,9282,430,784,9671,9672,5305,9276,9673,7754,9670,1915,805,1681,9669,6438,2685,412,6413,9668,639,2452,9386,4636,3862,3787,9007,3535,1093,9674,190,1691,1658,1916,5140],"class_list":["post-7178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-airline-news","category-asia-news","category-aviation-news","category-business-news","category-consumer-news","category-economic-news","category-finance-news","category-frequent-flyer-news","category-global-politics","category-international-news","category-stock-news","category-transportation-news","tag-agencies","tag-air","tag-airline","tag-aviation","tag-carrier","tag-communications","tag-company","tag-connected","tag-content","tag-contract","tag-corporation","tag-discontinue","tag-distributing","tag-existing","tag-exits","tag-expiring","tag-extensive","tag-gds","tag-global","tag-india","tag-industry","tag-kristin-hays","tag-leading","tag-negotiations","tag-news","tag-notice","tag-powers","tag-president","tag-prnewswire","tag-regarding","tag-relationship","tag-sabre","tag-software","tag-southlake","tag-statement","tag-technology","tag-termination","tag-texas","tag-transport","tag-transportation","tag-travel","tag-vice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7178"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7180,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7178\/revisions\/7180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
