US Airways sues Sabre, escalating the airline distribution war

27-Apr-2011 2:26 PM

With the revelations from American Airlines’ earnings call as well as lawsuits, especially that filed against Sabre by US Airways on 21-Apr-2011, it may only be a matter of time before the great distribution battle is settled once and for all in the airlines’ favour.

The big test is now between airlines and global distribution systems. US Airways' move will only accelerate the industry-wide battle, with potentially wide-ranging repercussions.

It is clear from reactions to the qualified approval the issue is far from over and has done little to actually assuage the concerns from rivals as well as both US and European authorities. As it is, DOJ will be monitoring Google’s compliance with the conditions placed on the deal to protect rivals’ access to ITA Software and to prevent bias towards Google’s own products.
