Sabre

Sabre holds the number-two air booking volume share in the global distribution system industry. The travel solutions segment represented 91% of total 2024 revenue, split between distribution (79% of segment sales) and airline IT solutions (21%) revenue. The company announced a planned sale of its growing hotel IT solutions division (9% of revenue) to TPG for $960 million in net proceeds, which is scheduled to close in late 2025. Transaction fees, which are mostly tied to volume and not price, account for the bulk of sales and profits.
