SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Aug. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR), the leading technology provider at
the center of the business of travel, announced an agreement to
expand its digital operations technology alliance with Spirit
Airlines (NYSE: SAVE), the leading value carrier in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin
America. This alliance will make the airline one of the
first carriers to utilize the breadth of the innovative,
next-generation Sabre Operations Platform, the industry's only
end-to-end operations solution.
Spirit, a current user of several of Sabre's operations
solutions, will soon implement Sabre AirCentre Movement Manager,
Crew Manager and Recovery Manager, rounding out the core components
of the Sabre Operations Platform. Collectively, this suite of
technology tools provides comprehensive real-time intelligent
optimization of airline operations.
The cloud-enabled intelligent platform delivers valuable
pan-operational insights, allowing employees to focus on critical
activities that impact operational costs. Carriers can quickly
recover from disruptive situations at the lowest cost, as the
platform enables real-time publications of adjusted flight and crew
schedules, taking pan-operations constraints into consideration.
Further, the platform enables mobile tools that deliver
notifications, allowing for seamless communication between
operations controllers, crew schedulers and crew members and
ensuring alignment across the airline.
"We are enthusiastically enabling further improvements to our
operations processes by incorporating the remaining core elements
of the Sabre Operations Platform," said Rocky Wiggins, chief information officer of
Spirit Airlines. "As we decided to move away from independent tools
and instead pursue a platform-oriented approach, we found the Sabre
Operations Platform to be the best tool to cohesively manage our
operations environment. We look forward to leveraging the suite of
core Sabre operations solutions to further enhance the way we do
business and serve our customers."
The agile nature of Sabre technology enables airlines like
Spirit to quickly grow or drive change without expending
significant resources. Using a robust set of APIs, carriers can
easily layer on customized features or integrate with other
commercial solutions.
"Airlines are transforming themselves to thrive amidst an influx
of operational complexities in our dynamic and fast-changing
industry," said Cem Tanyel,
president of Sabre Airline Solutions. "For years, Spirit has been
at the forefront of transforming the low-cost carrier space, and
the adoption of the Sabre Operations Platform is just another
example of how they're leading the industry by increasing
operational efficiencies. The power of the Sabre Operations
Platform lies in its unified, intelligent and agile approach across
the operations space. It helps customers like Spirit maximize
profitability while keeping operating costs low. We are excited
that Spirit sees the value of our cohesive operations approach and
look forward to this expanded technology partnership."
