AA and Sabre bury the hatchet

In a joint statement from Sabre and American Airlines, the companies confirmed that they had settled their dispute and had renewed their current distribution agreement for multiple years.

American has also agreed to negotiate with Sabre for additional technology services in the future. As part of the settlement, American Airlines will receive a monetary payment from Sabre.

The airline will continue pursuing its direct connect initiative. Additional information will be announced at a later date. Terms of the settlement and distribution agreements require review and approval by the court presiding over AMR Corporation's restructuring procedures.
