TAM has signed an agreement with Sabre and is negotiating with Amadeus and Travelport to make its entire content in the Brazilian market available through the global distribution systems (GDS) operated by the three companies.
The airline indicated that it expects its full content to be available in the three GDSs by the end of the first half of 2010.
TAM plans to extend the options available to its travel agents and corporate customers in Brazil for issuing TAM tickets.
The company will continue to use the e-TAM portal, its own distribution channel based on Amadeus’ technology platform, to make its content available in Brazil. e-TAM will offer the same information contained in the Sabre, Amadeus and Travelport GDSs.
TAM’s vice president of commerce and planning, Paulo Castello Branco, said that the new partnerships will operate as an important tool to expand the company’s content distribution within the domestic market.
