\n SOUTHLAKE, Texas<\/span> and SAO PAULO<\/span>, Sept. 9, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Sabre Corporation<\/a>\u00a0(NASDAQ: SABR), the leading software and technology provider that powers the global travel industry, today announced the successful migration of GOL Linhas A\u00e9reas, Brazil’s<\/span>\u00a0largest domestic airline, from their legacy reservation system onto the SabreSonic passenger service system (PSS).\u00a0The well-executed cutover now enables the airline to expand GOL’s global reach, offer exceptional personalized passenger experiences, and propel its growth plans. <\/p>\n

With the recent migration, Sabre’s highly-scalable technology will collectively manage the large number of passengers that travel on GOL each year. The two companies will continue to work closely to expand the airline’s operations and evolve its retailing, distribution and fulfillment capabilities.<\/p>\n

“At GOL we have taken significant steps to ensure the company is well-positioned for growth in the post-pandemic cycle. Innovation and technology are key components of our strategic growth plans,” said Eduardo Bernardes Neto<\/span>, Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Clients at GOL. “We are confident that the flexible and intelligent nature of Sabre solutions, including the PSS, will enable us to be more efficient and offer a modern retail experience that enables personalized travel at scale to better serve our customers.”<\/p>\n

Headquartered in S\u00e3o Paulo, GOL began operations in 2001 and has quickly grown to become one of largest airlines in South America<\/span>, carrying more than 36 million passengers per year to over 100 destinations in\u00a0Brazil, South America<\/span>, the\u00a0Caribbean\u00a0and\u00a0the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n
