Sabre Corporation has announced a new global distribution partnership with Eastar Jet, in line with the airline’s vision to go beyond Asia and popularise air travel by creating a reasonable cost air travel solution for Asia Pacific passengers. Effective first quarter 2018, Eastar Jet will have access to the Sabre Travel Marketplace, connecting them to more than 425,000 travel agents globally.
Rakesh Narayanan, Vice President, Air Commerce, Sabre Travel Network Asia Pacific said, “LCCs are revolutionising the way people travel, for both short and long-haul flights. This trend is most prevalent in Northeast Asia, where LCCs currently account for approximately half of the market, and are expected to overtake full service airlines for the first time in the near future.”
Son Doo Sang, Executive Senior Vice President, Eastar Jet said, “With Sabre’s extensive global network, we selected them as our partner to propel us beyond Asia. Today, almost one-third of Korean travellers fly internationally on LCCs and we believe this partnership will enable us to continue to fuel our growth in international markets and continue to provide value as one of the fastest growing low-cost carriers in Korea.”
