Northwest Sues Sabre Over Ticket Sales
- Share via
Northwest Airlines Corp. sued Sabre Holdings Corp. for breach of contract, saying Sabre was making it difficult for travel agents to sell Northwest tickets using Sabre’s travel-booking systems.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Minnesota, says a recent Sabre policy change made it more difficult for travel agents to view Northwest flights and sell Northwest tickets and breached a July 2003 contract, Eagan, Minn.-based Northwest said.
Southlake, Texas-based Sabre didn’t return a message seeking comment.
Northwest shares rose 2 cents to $9.84 on Nasdaq. Sabre shares fell $1.84 to $22.43 on the NYSE.
