China Eastern Airlines Will Consolidate Its Operational Control

China Eastern Airlines has decided to implement a recommendation made by Sabre Airline Solutions in 2003 to consolidate its airline operational control center in Shanghai.

A major objective of this two-year project is to help China Eastern combine its 12 operational control branches and subsidiaries into a centralized location.  Other process improvements and upgrades will be made at the same time.  Sabre says it will deploy an airline operations control expert for two years in Shanghai to help facilitate this process.  Other Sabre specialists will also be stationed there during this period.

China Eastern already uses a range of Sabre operational control applications, including its movement control (AirOps Movement Manager), flight dispatch (AirOps Dispatch Manager), load planning (AirOps Load Manager) and scheduling functions (AirFlite Schedule Manager).  06-23-2004.
