Polish Airlines recently unveiled a comprehensive strategy for the 2024 to 2028
period that will involve, among other things, increasing its fleet to 110
aircrafts, introducing nearly 20 new destinations, growing passenger numbers by
70%, and strengthening environmental and social efforts. Increasing service
quality and passenger satisfaction is another key objective of the strategy; a
key component of that is enabling greater personalization through rich content
and customized NDC-enabled offers.
"The
next five years will be both exciting and challenging for our team. We have
ambitious goals and NDC is one of the key enablers for bringing our strategy to
life. NDC provides high quality solutions and offers advanced tools for offer
and order management. I am deeply convinced that our cooperation with Sabre can
make the product available to more agents and increase our competitiveness in
terms of individual customers", said Marta Wiśniewska, Global Sales
Director at LOT Polish Airlines.
"The
travel industry is changing rapidly, and LOT Polish Airlines is striving to be
a leader in this evolution, for instance by leveling up our approach to travel
retailing and distribution. We are excited about our partnership with Sabre and
are looking forward to delivering our NDC offers to travel agents and travel
buyers across the globe", said Arkadiusz Gawryluk, Director of
Digital, Distribution and Loyalty at LOT Polish Airlines.
With
their NDC offers activated, LOT Polish Airlines becomes the 16th airline
to make their NDC content available in over 150 markets through Sabre and are
advancing the adoption of offer and order-based travel retailing.
"Since
its foundation almost 100 years ago, LOT Polish Airlines has been a
forward-thinking, innovative carrier and we are happy to join them on their NDC
journey," said Kathy Morgan, Vice President, Product Management –
Distribution Experiences, Sabre Travel Solutions. "Through NDC, airlines
can unlock new revenue streams and add even more value across travelers'
journeys. At Sabre, we aim to make this content available at scale in the
indirect channel while safeguarding the end-to-end workflows and operational
efficiencies that are so important to travel agencies."
