LC Peru Joins the Sabre Travel Marketplace

Sabre Corporation has signed a long-term distribution agreement with LC Peru, a regional airline operating flights to 13 airport destinations in Peru. Sabre will distribute its full content, enabling the airline to efficiently merchandize their services through travel agents in Latin America and other world markets.

From today, agents and corporate travel arrangers can shop, book and manage LC Peru's fares through the Sabre GDS, providing greater choice and value to travelers looking for domestic flights to Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, and other eight major cities across Peru.

"We've chosen Sabre's technology to accelerate our plans to put our flights and services in front of the largest travel agency community, and build strategic partnerships that will create better service and revenue opportunities from our regional flights network," said Carlos Carmona, general manager for LC Peru.

The Sabre travel marketplace will enable LC Peru to foster its sales and customer service strategy. Furthermore, Sabre's distribution technology will contribute to improve commercial operations for the airline, through instant booking confirmation and access to last-seat available inventory to business partners across channels.

"We are thrilled to welcome LC Peru as a new airline choosing the large agency community subscribed to Sabre, leveraging innovative technology that meets their business needs," said Luiz Ambar, vice president for Sabre in southern Latin America. "Sabre solutions and expertise in the industry help airlines of all sizes to merchandize efficiently through a leading marketplace and differentiator commerce platform, which allows them to better serve travelers and grow."

Based in Lima and with main hub at Jorge Chavez International Airport (LIM), LC Peru operates a broad domestic flights network across Peru. The airline is one of a growing number of new carriers joining Sabre's GDS to help them expand and grow.

The Sabre travel marketplace plays an important role in facilitating the marketing and sale of airfares, ancillary services, hotel rooms, rental cars, rail tickets and other types of travel, to travel agents and corporations. It is one of the world's largest travel marketplaces, processing over $110 billion in estimated travel spend.
