Royal Air Moroc signs deal withSabre
Sabre Airline Solutions, the leading provider of operational and decision support technology for the world’s airlines, has signed a multi-million dollar deal with Royal Air Maroc (RAM) for products to help plan and improve flight scheduling. Another deal has been signed for crew management products.
The North African carrier has also signed with Sabre Airline Solutions’ sister company lastminute.com to have the car hire section of the RAM Web-site powered by Holiday Autos. This lastminute.com-owned car rental broker already powers the car hire section of Atlas Blue, the no-frills carrier owned by RAM.
RAM will use Sabre AirFlite Schedule Manager to develop flight schedules that best meet customer needs, while Sabre AirFlite Profit Manager will help it analyse strengths or weaknesses in its flight timings and the financial impact of individual timetable changes.
The crew management deal sees RAM using the Sabre Rocade Crew Management System to generate optimal crew pairings, automatically generating rosters and tracking daily crew operations. The system generates cost-effective crew pairings and automatically generates crew rosters that meet crew legality rules, including governmental and regulatory requirements, airport restrictions, crew training and licensing, airline-specific requirements and individual crew preferences.
RAM already uses maintenance and engineering products from Sabre Airline Solutions, as well as some of the company’s revenue management tools through a partnership with Air France.
RAM is a rapidly-growing network carrier, with a strong portfolio of no-frills and regional airline brands. It is increasing its capacity rapidly and upgrading its IT platforms steadily.
“We’re committed to helping RAM achieve some pretty significant growth plans,” said Maher Koubaa, Sabre Airline Solutions’ director of the Middle East and Africa region. “RAM needs new technology and new processes to support this growth. We’re uniquely positioned to offer a complete, integrated package that is scalable and flexible to fit the different needs of its various brands.”
Koubaa said Sabre Airline Solutions had started to focus more heavily on the North African region, and was growing its regional support and development centre to provide locally-based account managers.
