Saudi Arabian Airlines and Sabre Airline Solutions signed four separate agreements for advanced technology business solutions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia during a gala ceremony that will help the airline deliver advanced services to its passengers.

 

These four agreements, which involve the implementation of Saudi Arabian Airlines’ three-year IT transformation programme as part of its IT Master Plan, are important elements of the airline’s goals, including improving the passengers' customer experience.

“The implementation of these systems will improve the passenger experience through increasing the reliability, resilience and competitiveness of Saudi Arabian Airlines,” said Khalid Almolhem, Director General of Saudi Arabian Airlines. “We selected Sabre Airline Solutions to provide these important solutions because of their experience, high quality results and because they demonstrated their willingness to partner with us for success.”

“Saudi Arabian Airlines has purchased our world-leading solutions in order to improve the performance of their airline,” said Steve Clampett, President of Airline Products and Solutions for Sabre Airline Solutions. “The airline will be receiving the exact same solutions we provide to world-leading airlines including British Airways, Air France, American Airlines, Japan Airlines and Singapore Airlines. When implementation is complete, Saudi Arabian Airlines will have the most advanced versions of these solutions in airline operations. These solutions have proven to provide measurable operational and financial improvements for our airline customers.”

The Sabre solutions selected by Saudi Arabian Airlines cover four specific areas of the airline’s business: network management solutions, operations solutions, ground handling solutions and cargo revenue management solutions.Sabre Airlines Solutions will work with the airline over the next two years to deliver these critical business tools.

“We are not simply buying technology,” said Almolhem. “We are buying a business solution that will improve our passenger experience through better on-time performance, further competitive fares and schedules, and an efficient and profitable operation.”

The solutions will be used by the airline for its primary operations as well as for its Haj and Umra religious charters and its Royal and VIP operations.
