INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Republic Airways, one of the
largest regional carriers in North
America, has selected IBS Software to build its
next-generation crew schedule bidding system. The new system,
currently under development, is expected to support Republic
Airways' commitments to crew satisfaction and operational
efficiency.
"Every airline and every crew member has a keen interest in a
schedule-bidding system that is powerful, easy to use and flexible;
it supports operational efficiency and crew satisfaction," said
Sam Shukla, SVP and Regional Head
Americas, IBS Software. "Republic is one of the industry
leaders in modernizing critical information system and has chosen
our iFlight Crew solution because it is engineered to deliver
optimal scheduling outcomes that enhance both productivity and crew
satisfaction."
"Partnering with IBS Software supports our commitment to improve
our crew members' quality of life," said Paul Kinstedt, SVP and COO, Republic
Airways. "We are confident this partnership will provide our
crew members with the flexible, accessible application they deserve
when bidding their schedules and it will be an important element in
advancing our operational efficiency."
Republic Airways, which operates as a codeshare carrier in
partnership with American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United
Airlines, chose IBS Software's iFlight Crew Planning Optimisers to
modernise its Preferential Bidding System (PBS) after a competitive
review involving managers, crew members and their unions. The
application will provide Republic with a configurable solution and
an intuitive interface that will give crew members greater control
over their schedules while ensuring the airline meets its
operational goals.
Additionally, the system improves crew experience by
accommodating personalized schedule preferences, increasing
transparency in the bidding process, and efficiently allocating
duties and time off while ensuring compliance with legal
requirements, company rules and quality guidelines. With an
extensive array of options to fine-tune the optimizer and bid
parameters, the solution can be tailored to meet the specific needs
of Republic Airways and its crew members.
