AMMAN, Jordan and SOUTHLAKE, Texas, May
15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:
SABR), a global technology provider to the travel and tourism
industry, has signed a new agreement with Royal Jordanian
to provide the carrier with a suite of technology to help plan
its network of flights.
Airline network planning departments face several challenges,
such as proactively and accurately informing network planners about
which markets to serve and determining the right markets in which
to codeshare. Under the new multi-year agreement, Royal
Jordanian will benefit from the Sabre Network Planning suite of
technology, which will help it address these challenges.
Through the suite – which includes Schedule Manager, Slot
Manager, Profit Manager, and Fleet Manager – Royal Jordanian will
be able to optimize its network of flights based on a number of
market conditions. The airline will also enjoy more accurate
forecasting and analysis of its network, enabling it to deploy its
aircraft more effectively.
"Royal Jordanian already has a strong brand and a history of
great success in the Middle Eastern region," said Dino Gelmetti, vice president EMEA, Airline
Solutions at Sabre. "The market conditions of the region are now
rapidly evolving; larger carriers are facing increased competition
from low-cost carriers, so airlines like Royal Jordanian are
adopting industry-leading data and technology to be more responsive
to sudden market and competitor changes."
Royal Jordanian operates more than 500 flights per week to 44
destinations across Europe, the
Middle East and Africa.
"We are among the most successful carriers in the Levant region
and have an opportunity to keep on growing," said President and CEO
of Royal Jordanian Captain Suleiman
Obeidat. "In order to maintain our strong reputation
and performance, we need to adapt ourselves to the needs of the
regional market we serve and make sure we are using our resources
efficiently. Sabre's technology will give us a new level of
insight, enabling us to make better network planning decisions that
will improve our profitability and enable us to invest more in
enhancing the experience for our passengers."
Sabre provides technology and consultancy services to more than
225 airlines, including most of the world's largest carriers.
Sabre's broad suite of flexible and scalable software solutions
allows airlines to operate how they want to and adapt their
business to changing needs and requirements. Most of the
world's largest carriers already use Sabre's technology to address
their biggest challenges – increasing revenue, minimizing costs and
