Sabre Corporation will be the first technology provider to introduce live data feeds from FlightGlobal’s schedule data from over 900 airlines worldwide to its GDS and travel booking platforms, which it says will address the frustrations that come with flight changes not showing in real time.
With this, more than 425,000 travel agents worldwide will have live access to flight changes and schedules accurate up to the millisecond via the Sabre Red agency platform.
All flight data processed in the Sabre travel marketplace and through Sabre APIs for online travel sites and developers will update dynamically while consumers, travel agents and business travellers shop for flights.
For airlines, the increased schedule accuracy is expected to allow them to market more efficiently, ensure their inventory is accurately displayed across channels and better manage seat availability for each flight.
