\na leading software and technology provider that powers the global travel industry, today announced a new distribution agreement with Bangladesh start-up airline Air Astra.

\n\u201cIt was essential to us to have the right technology partner from the outset, with the advanced solutions we need to fulfil our domestic and global growth strategy,\u201d said Imran Asif, Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer & Accountable Manager, Air Astra. \u201cSo, we\u2019re thrilled to be working with Sabre to distribute our fares and inventory through Sabre\u2019s extensive worldwide network of travel agents, enabling agents to create the travel experiences their customers want.\u201d
\nBased out of Shahjalal International Airport, Air Astra first took to the skies at the end of 2022 with its inaugural domestic flights to Cox\u2019s Bazar and Chittagong. The carrier plans a phased rollout of further domestic routes, as well as increasing its fleet size and launching international flights. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
