			   Vietnam Airlines has extended its long-standing 
			  distribution agreement with Sabre. The extension ensures that 
			  Vietnam Airlines' content will continue to be distributed to travel agents through Sabre’s extensive 
			  marketplace. 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  
			  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 travellers with a premium personalized 
			  experience.   Vietnam Airlines B787-8 reg: VN-A865. Picture by Steven Howard of TravelNewsAsia.com“The aviation industry has evolved 
			  rapidly in recent years, and we highly appreciate Sabre’s 
			  wide-ranging, robust, scalable technological solutions for having 
			  brought significant value to Vietnam Airlines. Sabre’s robust 
			  global marketplace has supported Vietnam Airlines efficiently in 
			  reaching travellers worldwide following the easing of travel 
			  restrictions in Vietnam,” said Le Hong Ha, CEO, Vietnam Airlines. 
			  “We also appreciate the commitment of Sabre in supporting the 
			  recovery and growth of Vietnam Airlines as well as the Vietnam 
			  travel industry during and after COVID19 pandemic. Today, we’re 
			  very happy to reaffirm our long-standing partnership that our two 
			  corporations have enjoyed for over a decade, and look forward to 
			  new successes in the future" 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 
			  travellers 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 such as India, 
			  the US, Europe and the Middle East. “The fact that 
			  we’re able to be in Vietnam to meet our valued partners at Vietnam 
			  Airlines and sign this agreement in person is testament to the 
			  strong recovery we are seeing across all sectors of the travel 
			  industry,” said Sean Menke, Chair of the Board and CEO, Sabre. 
			  “This agreement demonstrates our clear commitment to supporting 
			  the rapid recovery and future growth of the Vietnam travel 
			  industry. We’re excited that Sabre will continue to bring 
			  significant value to Vietnam Airlines at this critical time for 
			  Vietnam’s aviation market and we look forward to continuing to 
			  enable the carrier to connect the world to some of Asia’s most 
			  exciting destinations.”
