Airline Sues in Fee Dispute

August 26, 2004





MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 25 (AP) - The Northwest Airlines
Corporation sued a major distributor of its tickets on
Wednesday in a broadening dispute over new fees for
customers and travel agents who do not buy tickets on
Northwest's Web sites.

Northwest announced the new fees on Tuesday and the
distributor, the Sabre Holdings Corporation, retaliated by
saying it would make Northwest fares less prominent in its
displays, while charging the airline more. Sabre, based in
Southlake, Tex., operates a large distribution system used
by travel agents.

Sabre and other distributors usually list the fares of
competing airlines from lowest to highest, so travel agents
can spot price differences.

Northwest's federal lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Minnesota,
contends that Sabre's retaliation breaches their July 2003
contract, which Northwest claimed specifically prohibits
Sabre's action.

Sabre did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
