Sabre and Himalaya Airlines announce partnership driving the airline’s growth globally

SINGAPORE - Sabre Corporation, the leading technology provider to the global travel industry, announced a new global distribution partnership with Himalaya Airlines. This partnership is in line with supporting and strengthening the airline's objective of becoming the premium carrier that connects Nepal to the world.

Himalaya Airlines is looking to add 15 aircrafts to its current fleet that will connect Nepal globally, thus cementing its status as the premier carrier in the country. Sabre's technology will enable the airline to maximise its reach through the Sabre Travel Marketplace, connecting them to more than 425,000 travel agents globally. This will help to ensure that consumers have access to the best possible deals available while creating more revenue opportunities for the airline and travel agents.

"Nepal is a tourism hotspot. From 2015 to 2016, tourism grew almost 40 percent, a trend that is likely to continue as the country enhances its infrastructure. Beyond that, connectivity options are improving, especially with the likes of Himalaya Airlines adding key destinations across the region. As one of the leading airlines in Nepal, we are excited to work with Himalaya Airlines in bringing their offerings to the rest of the world using our technologies to ultimately fuel tourism growth and facilitate greater ease of travel for Nepalese," said Rakesh Narayanan, vice president of Supplier Commerce, Sabre Travel Network Asia Pacific.

Effective August 2017, Himalaya Airlines' fares and ancillary offerings will be available to Sabre travel agents globally, allowing them to choose the most cost-efficient routes and packages for their customers.
