European Airport Traffic Hits Record 2.6bn Passengers in 2025 as Growth Normalises

Sabre Corporation, a leading global travel technology company, has launched a new AI-powered flight shopping solution aimed at reducing costs and speeding up searches for travel agencies, as the industry grapples with growing system traffic and rising operational pressure.

The new Cache-powered Intelligent Shopping solution is designed to help travel agencies deliver fast, accurate and bookable flight options while reducing the operational burden caused by repeated system calls.

According to Sabre, the solution can return results in under half a second, while maintaining up to 95 percent alignment with live airline offers – a balance that has historically been difficult to achieve at scale.

Rather than relying solely on live airline polling or static caches, Cache-powered Intelligent Shopping uses predictive algorithms to determine when real-time data is required and when a validated cached result remains reliable. This approach reduces unnecessary traffic, lowers look-to-book ratios and helps agencies avoid timeouts and failed searches during periods of high demand.
