Business Wire
Sabre Airline Solutions today announced that Jet Airways, the
domestic market leader, has chosen Sabre AirFlite Schedule Manager
and Sabre AirFlite Fleet Manager to enhance its flight planning and
scheduling decision-making capabilities. Schedule Manager enables
Jet Airways to tightly manage its flight schedule and code share
flights -- an essential requirement in today's international
aviation environment. Fleet Manager enables Jet Airways to
optimally allocate its fleet to meet "close-in" market demand and
choose the best routes and flights to improve total network
profitability. "Making informed decisions around flight scheduling
is an essential part of any airline -- and Jet Airways is no
exception. Using Schedule Manager, we will be able to build,
visualize, edit and distribute our flight schedules more quickly
and easily than before," said Mr. Anthony D'sa, general manager,
planning. "In fact, as we look to significantly expand our fleet
and network destinations over the next two years and beyond, we
will be using these new applications and processes from Sabre
Airline Solutions to better optimize our network." He added, "The
other practical benefit of Schedule Manager is the way it can
automate the management of code-share flights. As a result, it will
be easier to expand the size and number of code-share agreements,
thereby driving increased revenue for us." Andrew Powell, regional
vice president, Sabre Airline Solutions, said, "We are committed to
supporting the incredible success story at Jet Airways. As their
business continues to expand and diversify into the international
arena, we will deliver the airline application solutions that Jet
Airways needs to remain at the cutting edge of the Indian aviation
market." "Sixteen airlines across Asia Pacific are now running the
Sabre AirFlite Planning and Scheduling Suite to manage their
networks with Jet Airways becoming the first carrier in India to
join this growing community," Powell said. "Jet Airways will now be
in a position to evaluate more options and make quicker decisions
about its network and schedules, which constantly need to be
adapted to shifts in market demand. The ability to adapt quickly to
the constant shifts in market demand closer to day of operations
will give Jet Airways a competitive advantage." Sabre Airline
Solutions provides Jet Airways with multiple integrated solutions
including: passenger solutions, flight operations, revenue
management and now scheduling and network planning, which
ultimately means that more departments across the airline are
better informed with up-to-date information from other areas of the
business. Decision making and operational processes are now quicker
and easier through the partnership with Sabre Airline Solutions.
Sabre Airline Solutions has invested millions of dollars in the
redesigning of the AirFlite suite to an open integrated
architecture, enabling better usability, integration and decision
support. The contract with Jet Airways is another sign of the
continuing interest in this "state-of-the-art" application suite.
