Turkish Airlines content has returned to the Sabre GDS following a nearly 10-month hiatus.

As part of a new agreement, Sabre will begin displaying NDC-enabled Turkish Airlines fares and ancillary products. 

"Through this collaboration, we aim to diversify the access opportunities available to our partner agencies and contribute to shaping the digital transformation of the industry," Arif Pasha, Turkish Airlines' sales and marketing manager for the United Arab Emirates, said in a LinkedIn post.

Pasha didn't offer further details about the NDC integration, but said that information would be disseminated in the coming days. The statement also doesn't specify whether Turkish will assess a GDS surcharge for legacy bookings via Sabre. 

Sabre also didn't address that issue. 

Turkish Airlines implemented a $24 surcharge on Travelport and Amadeus legacy GDS bookings last October in concert with the launch of its NDC program.
