Sabre Airline Solutions, the leading provider of
software and services to the airline industry from planning to
execution, today announced that the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has chosen the Sabre Streamline Resource Management Suite to
automate the scheduling of U.S. air traffic controllers. The contract
award has an initial value of just under $200,000 and a potential
total award value of $20 million over the term of the agreement. The
contract is slated to begin with a pilot demonstration program in
Kansas City this summer.
The Sabre Streamline Resource Management Suite enables the FAA to
create air traffic controller shift schedules and rosters and improve
administrative staff utilization. There are approximately 15,000 air
traffic controllers across the U.S. who will be scheduled using the
Streamline suite upon full implementation.
The Sabre Streamline Resource Management Suite will also enable
the FAA to meet the stated mission of the FAA's 10-Year Strategy for
the Air Traffic Controller Workforce -- "meeting the needs of the
system, staffing the right number of controllers in the right place at
the right time."
"We are committed to helping the FAA succeed in its mission with
our cutting edge scheduling technology," said Bruce Charendoff, senior
vice president for government and external affairs, Sabre Holdings.
"We are very pleased that the FAA has chosen the Sabre Streamline
suite."
The contract builds on previous agreements between the U.S.
government and Sabre Airline Solutions. Since 2002, the Transportation
Security Administration has been using the Streamline suite to assist
in the scheduling of passenger and baggage screening operations at the
nation's airports. Additionally, the Federal Air Marshal Service uses
the Sabre AirCrews Crew Management suite and Sabre Qik product to plan
and manage its operational resources.
"This award marks another milestone in the growing government
sales presence of Sabre Holdings," said Charendoff. "Sabre is
developing solutions that help government agencies improve efficiency
and save taxpayer dollars."
