SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Copa Airlines,
one of the leading network carriers in Latin America, and a Star Alliance member, has selected Sabre
Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) as the airline's leading technology
provider. Copa will leverage the breadth of Sabre's leading
technology portfolio, including the SabreSonic Customer Sales &
Service (CSS) reservations system, and airline retailing
solutions, enabling the carrier to personalize its flight
experience for travelers.
Core to Copa's technology transformation is migrating to the
SabreSonic CSS reservations system, an integrated
Software-as-a-Service platform for all critical airline operations
– including passenger check-in, inventory and departure control –
as well as retailing and e-commerce solutions.
"The SabreSonic reservations system will deliver new
capabilities and flexible technology that will enhance our ability
to provide the best possible customer experience," said

Information Officer. "Sabre's integrated product suite and strong
IT expertise will help our airline meet the growing demand for
personalization within the Latin American marketplace."
Copa will also leverage two of Sabre's newest solutions,
Customer Data Hub and Customer Experience Manager, created to help
airlines get to know their customers better so they can create a
personalized experience for each traveler. These
solutions are part of Sabre's new airline retailing technology,
which works in concert with SabreSonic CSS.
"We are excited to work with Copa Airlines, one of the world's
most successful airlines," said Hugh
Jones, president of Sabre Airline Solutions. "By delivering
Sabre's unique capabilities, we will support Copa's goal to provide
guests an extraordinary travel experience across their entire
journey. We are beginning a collaboration that will enable us to
unlock new insights through our data analytics, make travel more
convenient with mobile capabilities, and deliver personalized
service to Copa's global guests."

destinations from Tocumen International Airport in Panama, one of the world's most
strategically located airports.
