Mar 04, 2022 (newstodate): Russian aviation has been dealt another harsh blow by being deleted from Sabre, the industry's leading software and technology company.
- Sabre is taking immediate steps to remove Aeroflot flight content from its global distribution system, a marketplace used by travel agencies, travel websites and corporations around the world to shop, book and service flight reservations, the company says in a release.
-Sabre has been monitoring the evolving situation in Ukraine with increasing concern. From the beginning, our primary focus has been the safety of our team members in the impacted region, as well as doing our part to support the much-needed relief efforts, says Sean Menke, CEO of Sabre.
-We are taking a stand against this military conflict. We are complying, and will continue to comply, with sanctions imposed against Russia. In addition, today we announced that Sabre has terminated its distribution agreement with Aeroflot, removing its content from our GDS.
Sabre's competitor Amadeus IT Group immediately followed suit by suspending Aeroflot fares from its distribution platforms.
