Aeropostal Using Sabre Flight Operations Applications via Web  

Venezuela's Aeropostal has begun using Sabre Solutions crew management and movement management systems delivered to the airline via the Internet.

Sabre's AirCrews and AirOps Movement Manager are installed on Unix servers, using the ASP (application service provider) model, where the application remains on Sabre's system.  In this case, Aeropostal personnel access these applications on their regular PC desktops through Sabre’s eMergo Web-enabled and dedicated network.

Sabre says this arrangement gives Aeropostal access to tools used by larger airlines, with a lower total cost of ownership and without high upfront hardware costs.

AirCrews has a centralized database and a graphical user interface that gives an airline scheduling manager quick and easy access to flight crew data. Similarly, AirOps Movement Manager is used by airline managers to monitor and schedule flight operations and maintenance.  According to Sabre, both of these applications will work together with other applications in its portfolio – that Aeropostal has been using – including its passenger reservations system, flight operations system, and the PC version of its schedule manager. 

Steve Clampett, Sabre Airline Solutions' president of airline products, says his company now can deliver over 20 applications, as an ASP, including those that are considered mission critical.

Aeropostal plans next to begin using Sabre's AirOps Decision Manager, which helps an airline pre-plan for potential disruptions, and optimize its recovery process.  01-12-2004.
