This is aimed at accelerating the Colombian air carrier’s revenue growth opportunities and expanding its footprint in new market segments.

Prior to that, Sabre partnered with Air Serbia to launch Air Price IQ, a dynamic cloud-based artificial intelligence solution that recommends airfares based on traveler contexts and changing marketplace conditions like capacity, competition and booking velocity.
