Sabre Ends Distribution of Aeroflot Flights in Travel Tech Retreat From Russia
I saw a couple arline industry analysts say if Sabre (commercial airline flight reservation systems) cut off Aeroflot it would be the final nail in their coffin, their system for booking flights would be gone. Well, now that's happening.

Sabre Ends Distribution of Aeroflot Flights in Travel Tech Retreat From Russia
Sabre, the largest provider of airline information technology to Aeroflot, said on Thursday morning it would stop providing distribution services to the Russian flag carrier, essentially preventing it from selling tickets. Sabre is among the Western travel technology giants, along with Amadeus and Travelport, that are feeling pressure to retreat from Russia while that country invades Ukraine.
“We are taking a stand against this military conflict,” said Sean Menke, CEO of Sabre. “We’re complying, and will continue to comply, with sanctions imposed against Russia. In addition, today we announced that Sabre has terminated its distribution agreement with Aeroflot, removing its content from our GDS [global distribution system].”
