Sabre Corporation announced the development of a new booking solution, Sabre Red Launchpad??, designed for new or independent travel consultants. Sabre developed Sabre Red Launchpad, an extension of Sabre Red 360, with launch partner Internova Travel Group. Sabre Red Launchpad reduces training time for new-to-industry travel consultants and provides a light-weight way for independent consultants who do not currently use an aggregator or GDS to access the breadth of content and robust capabilities that Sabre provides through its travel marketplace.

In the coming weeks, Internova will roll out a co-branded version of the product - Internova SNAP, Powered by Sabre - to its thousands of travel advisors in the U.S. Sabre will rollout Sabre Red Launchpad globally in the coming months. Like consumer travel applications, Sabre Red Launchpad provides users with a streamlined graphical user interface (GUI) that helps them shop and book basic air, hotel, and car itineraries with only a few clicks. The product supports NDC offers, low-cost carrier XML content, and traditional ATPCO/EDIFACT options as well as the full breadth of lodging content offered via Sabre's Content Services for Lodging.

Sabre Red Launchpad co-exists alongside Sabre's existing agency booking solution, Sabre Red 360. If complex servicing needs arise, Sabre Red Launchpad users can hand-off bookings seamlessly to teammates working in Sabre Red 360. Throughout 2024, Sabre will invite more agencies to join Internova as part of the Sabre Red Launchpad early adopter program.

Internova Travel Group whose travel brands include ALTOUR, Global Travel Collection and Travel Leaders Network, the largest network of professional travel agents in North America, is a long-term and strategic partner with Sabre and utilizes a wide array of Sabre agency offerings including NDC, Sabre Red 360, Agency Retailer and Content Services for Lodging. Internova is also a strategic member of Sabre's Beyond NDC program, helping to champion NDC for agencies, and has implemented Sabre's NDC capabilities for several airlines.
