The multi-year agreement will provide travel agencies access to the complete range of both NDC offers and traditional content through the 夜色视频 global distribution system
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Aug. 14, 2024 鈥 (NASDAQ: SABR), a leading software and technology company that powers the global travel industry and WestJet, a major carrier based in Canada, have signed a multi-year renewal of their distribution agreement. This agreement will continue to provide 夜色视频-connected agencies with access to WestJet鈥檚 robust content including future New Distribution Capability (NDC) offers.
