SOUTHLAKE, Texas, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre Corporation
(NASDAQ: SABR), the leading technology provider at the center of
the business of travel, partnered with LATAM, the largest airline
group in South America, to unify
two separate reservations systems into one across their combined
carriers. LATAM and Sabre migrated LATAM Brazil from their
legacy reservation system onto LATAM's SabreSonic passenger
services system (PSS). The well-executed cutover now enables
the airline to expand its differentiated yet consistent passenger
experience across its entire network.
"Having our PSS on one centralized platform, powered by
SabreSonic, was a critical step to the growth of our business,"
said Jerome Cadier, CEO LATAM
Brazil. "We are now able to offer travelers a more
personalized and uniform experience as they travel on multiple
LATAM family carriers. Sabre is a long-term technology partner with
a deep understanding of our company, which was instrumental in
guiding us through this very complex process."
In addition to the PSS, LATAM utilizes a broad portfolio of
Sabre solutions to manage airline operations, increase revenue and
sell ancillaries across all channels throughout the customer
journey. With the recent migration, Sabre's highly scalable
technology will collectively manage over 67 million passengers
boarded for LATAM each year. The two companies will continue to
work closely to expand the airline group's global operations and
evolve its retailing, distribution and fulfillment
capabilities.
"LATAM is an important customer – successfully combining all
systems across LATAM was a top priority for Sabre," said
Dave Shirk, president of Sabre
Airline Solutions. "This was a big undertaking, and our collective
teams worked relentlessly throughout the program to deploy
innovative technology, provide a near-flawless migration and build
the foundation to extend LATAM's global reach and offer exceptional
passenger experiences."
