NUR-SULTAN, Kazakhstan,
June 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- SCAT Airlines, one of the largest carriers in
Kazakhstan, and Sabre Corporation
(NASDAQ: SABR), the leading software and technology company that
powers the global travel industry, today announced a new strategic
partnership, building on Sabre's other achievements in the central
Asian region.
Under the new agreement, SCAT Airlines will migrate to Sabre's
passenger reservations system, SabreSonic. It will also leverage Sabre's industry-first
Commercial Platform to create a differentiated brand experience for
travelers while also helping the airline to maximize
revenue. By delivering real-time, customer-centric offers to
the airline's customers, Sabre's technology will help SCAT achieve
its ambitious plans to lead the recovery and future growth of
travel in Kazakhstan.
"As we navigate the new travel environment, it's very
important for us to be agile and able to deliver personalized
offers to our customers at the right time and through the right
channels," said Vladimir Denisov,
president, SCAT Airlines. "Our new agreement with Sabre is an
essential pillar in our strategy, providing us with modern
reservations technology, intelligent revenue management and
scalable platform capabilities, which will help enable us to unlock
new opportunities, provide best-in-class customer experience and
maximize profitability."
Also part of the agreement, SCAT will adopt Sabre's Revenue
Optimizer to help maximize revenue streams in this challenging
environment. Pre-COVID-19, pricing and availability depended
on large volumes of historical booking and pricing data.
However, the pandemic has created an unprecedented change in
supply and demand, making this data less reliable. Revenue
Optimizer will help SCAT adapt to changing conditions based on the
latest real-time information.
"Given the current environment and pressure on the travel
industry, it is more important than ever for airlines to use
robust and intelligent technologies to forecast, analyze and
optimize operations and revenue streams," said Dino Gelmetti, Vice President EMEA, Sabre Travel
Solutions. "Sabre plans to enhance its presence in
Kazakhstan and provide SCAT
Airlines with the capabilities to achieve profitable growth and to
pioneer the future of travel. Today's announcement
demonstrates SCAT's forward-looking approach and Sabre's deep
commitment to supporting the global aviation industry."
This investment in robust core technology demonstrates
advancements in SCAT's strategy to create seamless, elevated
experiences for travelers while improving operational efficiency
and long-term growth.
