Sabre Claims 80 Travel Customers Live on Its MCP Server and Says MCP Is Replacing NDC as Travel's Integration Standard
Sabre issued a press release at 00:01 ET on September 21 arguing that the travel industry will spend the next decade on Model Context Protocol the way it spent the last on NDC, and that its MCP server (launched September 2025) now has nearly 80 customers piloting or in full production, naming Virgin Australia, Flight Centre, Internova, Nexion, ALTOUR and Travel Leaders Network. The release is openly combative, saying competitors are still writing press releases about plans while Sabre's shopping, booking and servicing are in production. It is the first time a legacy GDS has claimed a one-year head start on agent-native distribution.
