First, we signed significant distribution contracts with two well-known North American travel agency customers that we expect will convert a significant number of distribution bookings to Sabre in 2024 and 2025.

We also recently signed an enhanced agreement with LATAM Airlines Group, Latin America's largest airline, to distribute deck carriers' traditional at-effect content, as well as its NDC offers, to the global network of Sabre connected agencies. Once this new NDC connection goes live, it will enable hundreds of thousands of Sabre connected agencies and travel buyers to have an even richer experience with a broader range of LATAM's products and services.

In addition to these important agreements, we also signed with Scandinavian Airlines and Virgin Australia to provide agencies with significantly expanded access to content and offers from these carriers, including dynamically priced fares and new ancillary services.

As you can see from this volume chart, the trajectory of the recovery in 2022 was higher overall, but uneven. The total distribution bookings recovery in Q4 was 59% versus the same period in 2019. This 59% booking recovery equates to a 65% revenue recovery as a result of the higher booking rate achieved in Q4 of 2022 versus Q4 of 2019. Higher revenue per booking resulted from a continued favorable mix. Importantly, we are already seeing improvement in both corporate travel and Asia-Pacific volumes in 2023 through early February.
