Garuda Indonesia to Use Sabre’s Operations and Crew Technology Platform

Garuda Indonesia has selected an end-to-end suite of operations and crew technologies from the Sabre AirCentre Enterprise Operations portfolio.

Sabre’s Operations and Crew Technology Platform will enhance Garuda’s aircraft tracking, disruption control and prevention, and crew management operations.

“Southeast Asia’s airlines operate in an environment of resource-constrained infrastructure and volatile weather conditions. We are working with carriers in the region to create a more connected airline that can optimise operations regardless of these regional challenges,” said Dasha Kuksenko, vice president and regional general manager for Sabre Airline Solutions, Asia Pacific. “Using more flexible, reliable and scalable technology, Garuda will improve crew and fleet utilisation and safety, drive operational efficiencies and introduce quicker schedule recovery – ensuring a better and more consistent traveller experience.”

Garuda recorded a 13.4% increase in ASKs in Q1 2016. In the last year alone, it launched new routes to China, recorded capacity expansion to Saudi Arabia, by operating direct flights from Jakarta to Medina, and more than doubled its European operation including the addition of a strategic London Heathrow route connecting passengers to thousands of onward destinations through the Skyteam Alliance.

Vice President Corporate Communications for Garuda Indonesia, Benny Butarbutar, said, “Sabre’s enterprise operations solutions will give us a far more sophisticated approach to managing our operations, crew and the impact of disruptions. This in turn will help us improve profitability and drive customer loyalty. As we pursue further international network growth, which is critical to our long-term strategy, the platform will also help us streamline operations across multiple geographies.”

The airline and crew technology suite that Garuda Indonesia has selected from the Sabre AirCentre Enterprise Operations portfolio includes: Sabre AirCentre Movement Manager; Sabre AirCentre Recovery Manager Ops; and Sabre AirCentre Crew Manager, which is complemented by crew pairing and rostering optimisation capabilities from Sabre technology partner AD OPT, a division of KRONOS.
