Austrian Airlines, the flag carrier of Austria, selected the Sabre Rocade Crew Management System for its flight operations. Austrian Airlines will use the product to plan and track crew scheduling throughout its operations, involving 50 aircraft and more than 3,000 crew members.
Sabre Airline Solutions will also provide professional services and ongoing support for Austrian Airlines during the implementation and for at least five years.
“The Rocade suite offers an optimal mix of rich functionality, yet is easily accessible and highly advanced in terms of automation and usage,” said Markus Christl, Austrian Airlines’ project manager. “At the same time it is very robustand provides a truly user-friendly graphical interface superior to any other alternative we evaluated. With the Crew Web Portal we will be able to communicate more efficiently and allocate our resources more accurately according to individual crew preferences.”
“The Rocade suite’s model for implementation and provision of assistance brings safety and predictability to the project. Its large and active customer community confirms that implementation projects constantly meet expectations,” he said.
“Flag carrier airlines such as Austrian Airlines are turning toward building solutions on integrated standard systems to achieve a balance between advanced functionality and ease of use,” said Urban Deljerud, managing director of Sabre Airline Solutions’ Sabre Rocade business. “With the built-in flexibility and the implementation methodology developed by the Rocade suite, we can develop a crew management solution to fit any airline’s unique characteristics and needs.”
