Navitaire, an Accenture company, has acquired several Caleb Technologies’ airline operational applications, including a decision-support tool that helps operational planners recover from flight disruptions in the most optimal way.

RecoverySuite recommends the best possible options to airline planners and dispatchers on how to get return aircraft and crew to their previous schedules, and how to handle passengers as expeditiously as possible. Navitaire also acquired what was Caleb’s Pairing Solver, which helps an airline optimize its monthly crew work-pattern assignments and CrewResource Solver, which helps manage ongoing crew staffing, training and deployment.

Each of these new products enable airlines to examine multiple options and find the best possible solution in minutes, rather than the hours necessary to collect data and create choices manually, Navitaire says.

Navitaire says it is expanding its portfolio of information technology solutions for airlines as part of its strategy to serve the sector better. Since its creation in 1993, Navitaire has broadened its hosted airline services to include reservations, direct distribution, revenue accounting, revenue protection, revenue management and decision-support services.

As part of this transaction, Navitaire has assumed all of Caleb’s customer contracts, including those with American, AirTran, Continental, Delta, JetBlue and Northwest, which were already Navitaire customers.  With this acquisition, Southwest is added to Navitaire’s customer list as well.  04-15-2004.
