Sabre Airline Solutions, the leading provider of operational and
decision support technology for the world's airlines, has signed a
multi-million dollar deal with Royal Air Maroc (RAM) for products to
help plan and improve flight scheduling. Another deal has been signed
for crew management products.
The North African carrier has also signed with Sabre Airline
Solutions' sister company lastminute.com to have the car hire section
of the RAM Web-site powered by Holiday Autos. This
lastminute.com-owned car rental broker already powers the car hire
section of Atlas Blue, the no-frills carrier owned by RAM.
RAM will use Sabre AirFlite Schedule Manager to develop flight
schedules that best meet customer needs, while Sabre AirFlite Profit
Manager will help it analyse strengths or weaknesses in its flight
timings and the financial impact of individual timetable changes.
The crew management deal sees RAM using the Sabre Rocade Crew
Management System to generate optimal crew pairings, automatically
generating rosters and tracking daily crew operations. The system
generates cost-effective crew pairings and automatically generates
crew rosters that meet crew legality rules, including governmental and
regulatory requirements, airport restrictions, crew training and
licensing, airline-specific requirements and individual crew
preferences.
RAM already uses maintenance and engineering products from Sabre
Airline Solutions, as well as some of the company's revenue management
tools through a partnership with Air France.
RAM is a rapidly-growing network carrier, with a strong portfolio
of no-frills and regional airline brands. It is increasing its
capacity rapidly and upgrading its IT platforms steadily.
"We're committed to helping RAM achieve some pretty significant
growth plans," said Maher Koubaa, Sabre Airline Solutions' director of
the Middle East and Africa region. "RAM needs new technology and new
processes to support this growth. We're uniquely positioned to offer a
complete, integrated package that is scalable and flexible to fit the
different needs of its various brands."
"Sabre Airline Solutions has the technology we need now and
provides the flexibility we need to adapt quickly to growth and new
business models in the future," said Mohamed Diane, chief information
officer of Royal Air Maroc. "Their decision-support software will
enable us to drive out costs and grow revenue, all while maintaining
operational excellence in a rapid growth environment."
The deals with both Sabre Airline Solutions and lastminute.com
demonstrate the value, beyond the traditional GDS function, that the
combined Sabre business is able to bring to travel providers. By
working with both Sabre Holdings companies, RAM will be able to reduce
operating costs, offer an enhanced service to its customers and
generate greater revenues.
Koubaa said Sabre Airline Solutions had started to focus more
heavily on the North African region, and was growing its regional
support and development centre to provide locally-based account
managers.
