duo Airways Signs Agreement With Sabre Airline Solutions for Fast Implementation
of New Flight Tracking Technology
SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Birmingham, England-based regional
European carrier, duo Airways Limited, has signed an agreement with Sabre
Airline Solutions for Sabre FliteTrac operations control and flight following
system to facilitate the airline's business and regulatory requirements for
monitoring flight status.
FliteTrac gathers data such as flight number and date, origin and destination,
departure time, assigned aircraft, fuel data, passenger list (both planned and
actual) and the original, revised, estimated and actual arrival times.
Benefits of FliteTrac include increased personnel productivity, reduced
operations controller workload, easy-to-read graphical data, and constant
awareness of fleet status. Features include integration with an airline's
legacy systems, a customizable user interface, automatically updated database
information, and built-in reports.
"We are extremely impressed with this product," said Richard King, operations
manager, duo Airways Limited. "All too often software packages fail to deliver
against expectations. FliteTrac is an exception to this industry norm -- not
only does it deliver what we wanted, it does more."
FliteTrac was installed at duo in record time to help the airline's operations
personnel readily monitor the status of flights in line with business and
regulatory requirements. By interfacing with duo's computerreservation system,
the FliteTrac system can display real-time flight information in a Gantt chart
format, with color-coding defined by the carrier, to indicate flight status.
Vinay Dube, vice president, Sabre Airline Solutions for the Europe, Middle East
and Africa region, added: "One of our strengths is leveraging our robust
technology arsenal to provide affordable, quick solutions for carriers of all
sizes. And, with our knowledge of the industry, the region, and an
understanding of duo's immediate business needs, we were able to implement this
solution on an accelerated basis."
Sabre Airline Solutions currently has 61 FliteTrac customers globally. The
contract with duo adds to the momentum of European carriers opting for the smart
technologyavailable from Sabre Airline Solutions -- with nearly 90 contracts
signed in the region during the past 12 months.
