Sabre Corporation is a software and technology provider to the global travel industry. The company operates a business-to-business travel marketplace that connects travel suppliers—including airlines, car rental brands, rail carriers, and cruise lines—with a broad network of travel buyers, such as online and offline travel agencies and corporate travel departments. In addition to its global distribution system (GDS), Sabre provides airline IT solutions, offering software-as-a-service (SaaS) products that help airlines manage reservations, commercial operations, and crew scheduling. Sabre generates revenue primarily through transaction fees tied to booking volumes on its GDS, as well as subscription and software licensing fees from its IT solutions. Geographically, Sabre operates globally, serving customers in over 160 countries. The company is one of the top three global distribution systems worldwide, alongside Amadeus and Travelport. Historically, Sabre also operated a Hospitality Solutions segment providing software to hoteliers, but the company sold this division to TPG in July 2025 for $1.1 billion to pay down debt and focus on its core airline IT and travel marketplace platforms.
