Sun Country Airlines Chooses Sabre Airline Solutions to Deploy Passenger-
Friendly Airport Automation
Sabre Aerodynamic Traveler Web Check-in and Aerodynamic Traveler Gate Reader
Provide Key Airport Automation for Both Passengers and Airlines
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Country Airlines and Sabre
Airline Solutions announced today the successful implementation of Sabre
Aerodynamic Traveler Web Check-in and Sabre Aerodynamic Traveler Gate Reader,
part of the integrated Sabre Aerodynamic Traveler Passenger Processing suite of
passenger processing tools. The services will be delivered via Sabre Airline
Solutions' eMergo web-enabled and dedicated network solutions, an applications
service provider (ASP) offering.
Use of the Internet by airline customers for flight check-in increased by 300
percent in 2003, with 27 percent of business travelers and 23 percent of leisure
travelers using the Internet for check-in, according to industry reports by
Forrester and Giga research firms. Sun Country Airlines and Sabre Airline
Solutions are meeting industry demands by providing passengers with more
convenient check-in and boarding options.
"Our customers needed relief from the longer lines at the Humphrey Terminal,"
said Mark Ondrey, Director of Information Technology with Sun Country Airlines.
"The collaborative efforts of Sabre Airline Solutions and the Sun Country staff
have already paid off, with more than a third of our passengers having checked
in for their flights at suncountry.com in just the first two weeks of
availability. The improvements at the gates have enhanced the efficiency of our
airport staff activities and we've received extremely positive passenger
feedback, making this implementation a true win-win for everyone involved."
The three-year agreement demonstrates Sun Country's commitment to providing its
passengers with the newest automation designed to improve their airport
experience. "By choosing the Aerodynamic Traveler Web Check-in and Gate Reader,
Sun Country is providing its passengers with technology that has streamlined the
boarding process from check-in to take-off," said Steve Clampett, president,
Airline Products and Services, for Sabre Airline Solutions.
The implementation also is a testamentto Sabre Airline Solutions' ability to
provide key airport automation for the advantage of its airline clients. "Sun
Country is positioning itself ahead of the curve by using technology that is
both accommodating and cost-effective," Clampett continued. "Those carriers
that anticipate and prepare for changing industry dynamics, such as the trend
towards passenger self-service check-in, will reap the competitive advantage
that helps ensure their short- and long-term profitability."
Initially, these systems will be in use at the Humphrey Terminal at the
Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport, the Sun Country primary airport hub.
