China-linked hackers have breached the computer systems of US airline company American Airline Group Inc and travel reservations platform provider Sabre Corp, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the investigations.

The group had also hacked the systems of another US airline operator United Continental Holdings Inc in May or early June, Bloomberg reported last month.

American Airline and Sabre were not immediately available for comment.

American Airline shares some network infrastructure with Sabre, a former subsidiary that the US airline operator spun off into a separate company in 2000.
