Sabre Buys Airline Technology Company

Sabre Holdings has acquired EB2 International, a London-based supplier of e-commerce products and services to airlines.

EB2’s offerings will be incorporated into Sabre Airline Solutions. Sabre anticipates that the acquisition will advance the development of SabreSonic Customer Sales and Service, a newly launched business that supports airlines’ complex shopping and pricing demands.

One of SabreSonic’s customers, Midwest Airlines, uses Sabre’s merchandising technology on its website and at airport kiosks to sell two types of economy-class seats.
