Sabre Corporation announced an extended distribution agreement with Vietnamese flag carrier Vietnam Airlines. The new deal means that Vietnam Airlines will continue to distribute its content to the large network of travel agents through Sabre's extensive travel marketplace. The agreement further strengthens Sabre's presence in the Vietnam aviation marketplace and the relationship between Sabre and Vietnam Airlines.

In addition to Sabre's Global Distribution system (GDS), the Hanoi-based carrier also uses a comprehensive suite of SabreSonic Passenger Service System (PSS) technology including reservation and ticketing, inventory and departure control solutions. Vietnam Airlines also leverages Sabre's Revenue Optimizer to maximize revenue using near-real time network partner and comprehensive passenger revenue performance data as well as further Sabre solutions to enable the carrier to provide travelers with a premium personalized experience. The expanded distribution agreement between Sabre and Vietnam Airlines was signed between Mr. Trinh Ngoc Thanh, Vietnam Airlines' Executive Vice President and Sabre's Vice President, Regional General Manager, Asia Pacific, Travel Solutions Agency Sales, Mr. Rakesh Narayanan at Vietnam Airlines' headquarters in Hanoi.

Operating across dozens of domestic and international destinations, Vietnam Airlines continues to ramp up operations following the re-opening of Vietnam's borders to international travelers earlier this year. The carrier is playing a key role in Vietnam's aim to push tourist arrivals to five million this year, including attracting tourists from key markets including India, the US, Europe and the Middle East.
