The concept originated from a chance 1953 flight meeting between the president of American Airlines and an IBM sales representative. Formally founded in 1960, Sabre introduced the world's first real-time commercial data-processing system to manage passenger flight reservations. It eventually spun off into a completely independent public company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbolovider headquartered in Southlake, Texas. The company serves as the foundational backbone of the modern travel industry, operating a massive business-to-business travel marketplace.
