technology. Further to this, Cathay Pacific will host a Focus Group for Sabre
Airline Solutions users on 24-26 March 2004 as a platform to discuss the
benefits of Sabre Airline Solutions systems and to demonstrate the role the

and minimize operational disruption by providing a powerful, flexible tool to
help control airline operations. By using the safest, most cost effective and
efficient methods possible, this tool minimizes the impact of irregular
operations on profitability. With AirOps Dispatch Manager, Cathay Pacific has
