American Airlines on Sabre’s Actions
Emphasis mine.
Sabre’s actions are discriminatory and patently inconsistent with both its contractual obligations and its professed goal of ensuring full transparency for the benefit of consumers and travel agents. In contrast, the actions only serve to protect Sabre’s market position and attempt to force airlines and travel agencies to rely exclusively on its legacy systems that only lead to higher fares and fewer choices for consumers.
Hard to determine who’s actions are *really* anti-consumer. Both parties are fighting to lower distribution costs while also calling for more innovation. Bottom line, both companies are fighting for the same thing — the control of the distribution channel.
