After settling their breach-of-contract lawsuit earlier this week, Hawaiian Airlines and Sabre have signed a new distribution agreement that will offer the carrier’s New Distribution Capability content to Sabre-connected agencies, the travel technology company announced Thursday. The Hawaiian NDC content, dubbed HA Connect, is expected to be available by the end of 2024.
“We are very pleased to have reached an agreement with Sabre to expand our long-standing distribution partnership to not only EDIFACT but also HA Connect content once the technical connectivity has been implemented,” Hawaiian EVP and chief revenue officer Brent Overbeek said in a statement.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Hawaiian is maintaining the per-segment surcharge on global distribution system bookings of U.S. point-of-sale tickets; neither Hawaiian nor Sabre returned requests for clarification.
