• Additional user interface improvements such as flexibility to add HTML to the profile enrolment process,
• Introduction of a combined itinerary review and log-in page to streamline the booking flow, reducing the number of steps required to complete a booking online,
• Introduction of service fee functionality, enabling you to configure a special fee to the online booking, which offers flexibility in design by enabling a fee by passenger, passenger type or itinerary.

Operational enhancements included:

• Support for Secure Flight to collect traveler data as required by the United States Department of Homeland Security,
• Introduction of duplicate profile check, designed to reduce the occurrence of duplicate profiles based on a matching pattern of name and e-mail address that will help you better manage customer interaction,
• Storing of date of birth in the customer profile and the validation of child/infant age on the date of travel.

We will continue to evolve our solutions to best meet your needs. If you have questions or suggestions about SabreSonic Web, please contact Craig MacFarlane.

Alert-Driven Reoptimization Coming Soon
Airline Passenger Solutions
This quarter, we will release alert-driven reoptimization (also referred to as real-time revenue management), a feature within SabreSonic® Inventory, which will give you the ability to dynamically adapt to changing market conditions using real-time alerts.

The new functionality will enable your airline’s revenue management system to generate optimal inventory controls based on alerts sent from SabreSonic Inventory. Intelligent thresholds will also be generated by the revenue management system and sent to SabreSonic Inventory. In addition, alerts can be triggered by SabreSonic Inventory and sent to your revenue management system based on user-defined thresholds.

Alert-driven reoptimization enables optimal inventory controls to be immediately updated in the marketplace without the wait for the nightly download or manual analyst intervention. This technology enables you to react faster than ever before to changes in your inventory. Benefits of the new functionality include:

• For class-level availability alerts, if there is a policy class for frequent flyers and if a certain number of seats need to be made available in that class, you can set up a threshold that identifies an availability decrease in this class that will trigger a re-optimization.
• Given the flexibility associated in setting up alert thresholds, you can set up values that enable efficient automated reoptimizations. For example, there could be conservative thresholds at the system level and aggressive values for specific high-value markets. You can also choose to reoptimize based on proximity to departure using the days-to-departure condition.
• If a new aircraft type is introduced through a schedule change, then alerts will enable the revenue management system to recommend optimal inventory controls based on capacity changes.
• Alerts sent from SabreSonic Inventory cause reoptimization in the revenue management system both at a flight departure date level and the complete network at the departure date level.

Competitive Revenue Management Tool En Route
Airline Passenger Solutions
Passenger behavior is influenced by competitor choices available in the marketplace. Traditional revenue management systems are based on historical demand patterns and do not take into consideration real-time changes to competitive availability, fares and schedules in the marketplace. As a result, airlines try to match competitor fares blindly without any solid analysis, resulting in poor passenger mix and revenue.

The competitive revenue management tool within SabreSonic® Inventory provides the ability to adjust inventory controls based on real-time actions by competitors. The new technology offers several benefits including:

• Consideration of competitor availability, schedules and fares data to enable you to set business rules that determine more realistic controls that help reduce revenue spoilage and dilution,
• The ability to generate optimal inventory controls for markets that have high frequency, significant low-cost competitor activity; established competition from legacy carriers; and over capacity issues,
• The ability to identify competitor actions and enable you to optimally manage inventory to deal with the competitive threat in markets where there is poor performance, either due to loss in market share or revenue dilution.,
• Flexible business rules by market and various criteria, giving you the option to either match, undercut or do nothing in response to competitor fare and availability — the tool also determines the closest competing flight number in each market based on set criteria,
• Support of customer-choice modeling that measures the degree of attractiveness of the schedule and not just fares and availability in deciding whether to match a competitor’s availability. For example, even though the competitor’s fare might be less than the host, the tool might still recommend not undercutting/matching the host availability as the host schedule (in terms of number of stops, departure time and/or number of legs) is more attractive and, hence, can command a premium,
• The ability to set overrides to force the tool to choose a specific carrier and flight number as the competitor for a specified host flight,
• The ability to review system recommendations as a result of the rule through the intuitive work-flow-driven graphical user interface and make adjustments if they disagree. The tool converts the availability adjustments into authorizations that are then sent directly to the inventory control system.

Inventory Analytics On The Horizon
Airline Passenger Solutions
Be on the lookout this quarter for Inventory Analytics, new functionality within SabreSonic® Inventory, which will provide you with visibility on the performance of your inventory system and analysis through offline business reports via Business Intelligence technology. Inventory Analytics will enable you to view, measure and report on key inventory metrics, such as availability/sell/cancel transactions, unable-to-confirm counts, look-to-book ratios and sell-to-cancel ratios for your airline.

Reporting on the availability, sell and unable-to-confirm transactions enables you to:

• Identify trends in unable-to-confirm messages and determine the root causes: for example, if a particular market is generating a high volume of unable-to-confirm messages, you can investigate business rules in SabreSonic Inventory to determine if they are causing the discrepancies. Or if a particular agency is generating a high volume of unable-to-confirm messages, you can work with the agency to evaluate its booking processes and identify modifications to reduce the number of unable-to-confirm messages.
• Identify the percentage of availability and sell requests by channel and monitor trends over time: this data enables you to measure the impacts of your airline’s strategic efforts to drive channel shift and also identify the best agency customers.
• Identify markets and agencies with high look-to-book ratios: markets with high look-to-book ratios might signal that your product is uncompetitive, alerting revenue management analysts to review the strategy in the market. Agencies with high look-to-book ratios might alert you to robotics used by the competition to gain insight on their fares and availability or issues making the airline uncompetitive within a particular agency.
• Identify agencies with high sell-cancel transaction volumes: this could signal poor business processes by the agency, putting you at risk for spoilage once the seats are canceled. You can work with agencies to modify their practices or block the agency from selling seats via SabreSonic Inventory.

Introducing Sabre AirCentre ACARS Manager Mobile
Airline Operations
In our continuing effort to provide pertinent information when and where you need it most, Sabre® AirCentre™ ACARS Manager moves into the mobile world and into the hands of your operation. Intended for aircraft that are not ACARS equipped, Sabre® AirCentre™ ACARS Manager Mobile enables the forwarding of flight data to ACARS Manager by emulating ACARS protocol to feed other solutions such as Sabre® AirCentre™ Movement Control and Sabre® AirCentre™ Flight Plan Manager.

ACARS Manager Mobile incorporates crew, cargo, passenger and flight information in an easy-to-use interface. The style of the pages and the fields presented were design by crewmembers, working in collaboration with an airline based in Spain. Several mark-ups of the user interfaces were presented to flight crewmembers. The style selected uses a screen layout close to what they have aboard the aircraft: black background with gray buttons.

ACARS Manager Mobile includes many features, presented in 640x480 horizontal VGA definition, to improve the flow of operations:

• The route page enables the entering of flight schedule information with an airport database included in IATA and ICAO.
• The crew page functions include airline-specific parameters such as pilot flying and pilot monitoring information that can be entered for qualification-monitoring purposes. The fields were selected based on needs for movement and cost control. As each airline has some specifics in its operations and tracking requirements, we expect to have some fields used by all customers and some that will be invisible for those who don’t need them. For crewmembers, the GUI should show only what they have to fill in.
• The fuel page is designed for capturing fuel information for monitoring fuel efficiency and carbon emissions. It also provides an entry field for crew to input the reason for requesting extra fuel.
• On the passenger page, crew may enter passenger information with or without gender information, and additional passenger destinations may be entered with the transit selector, intended for use with multi-leg flight numbers.
• The cargo page allows two different types of non-revenue cargo weight information, and the zero fuel weight is used together with the fuel on board at departure for computing the takeoff and landing weight. 
• The departure page enables the monitoring of flight times, delays and ground-handling costs.
• The arrival page includes auto-land monitoring data in addition to time and fuel information.
• On the crew notes pages, different types of reports may be entered by crewmembers.
• On the crew sign and forward page, the captain may sign the crew report and have the signature sent as an attachment.

ACARS Manager Mobile is based on Microsoft Windows Mobile OS, creating multiple advantages including:

• Making ACARS Manager Mobile available on a great range of hand-held devices,
• Reusing source code developed for Windows desktop OS and using rapid application design tools,
• Reducing the cost of development,
• Providing easy implementation of local databases,
• Transferring files via FTP, SMTP, Pocket Outlook and SMS (without the signature).

For IP connectivity, Wi-Fi and 3G may be used. And the internal database may store several flights, enabling the crew to wait to reach cheaper communications such as Wi-Fi before transmitting the flight report.

A future version is planned that will include Java for those operators already equipped with Blackberry and to have the flight schedule uploaded using IATA messages, which would avoid crew having to type the schedule information.

In addition to time and fuel information, the Arrival Page includes Autoland monitoring data.

For additional information about ACARS Manager Mobile, please contact Jim Cloud.

Sabre AirCentre Pairing Optimizer
Airline Operations
Efficient crew pairing optimization can unlock significant crew-related cost savings for an airline. Good optimization software should provide:

• Speed — A planning cycle only gives airline crew planners a fixed amount of time to create, analyze and disseminate the best solution, so speed is of the essence.
• Quality — Optimizers should provide a solution that best matches airline requirements to maximize crew utilization while minimizing the cost of hotels, crew per diems, deadheads and other crew-related expenses.
• Flexibility — Each airline has different goals for the creation of pairings, and even these goals change from time to time based on the business environment, contractual agreements or external cost such as hotels or fuel. The crew planning solution needs to be flexible enough to handle an airline’s changing business requirements.
• Robustness — The quality of the solution must be retained through deployment. For instance, while creating a high-quality crew pairing solution, it is important to minimize the number of potential break points in the crew schedule by minimizing the number of required aircraft changes. Each aircraft change is a potential break point in a crew schedule that can be easily disrupted during an irregular operation.

Using sophisticated optimization algorithms, the Sabre® AirCentre™ Pairing Optimizer offers several key pairing generation functions enabling you to attain the benefits listed above. The tool is capable of generating “cold start” solutions, where inputs are simply a combination of flights to be covered, deadhead opportunities, rules sets, cost parameters and associated constraints.

You can also improve or modify existing solutions with the Sabre AirCentre Pairing Optimizer through “warm-start” technology, which is faster than cold-start solutions and can be used when schedule changes disrupt previously constructed pairings. The same technology can also be used to create and combine daily, weekly, dated and transition solutions for carry-over and holiday periods as well as for daily and weekly regularity.

Plus, you can also use the Pairing Optimizer to model solutions that require crew augmentation associated with long-haul flying. You can run multiple pairing scenarios simultaneously to solve different parts of the schedule at the same time or to compare different solutions for a single schedule without impacting system performance.

Sabre AirCentre Pairing Optimizer can be deployed locally within your airline’s IT environment, or it can be hosted through Sabre® eMergo® Web Access, our Software as a Service, or SaaS, solution. The Sabre Airline Solutions® business also provides a Pairing Service Bureau option — so whether you are looking for seasonal or one-time pairing generation, or for pairings to be generated on a monthly basis, you can take advantage of using Sabre Airline Solutions experts to generate crew pairings on your behalf.

Version 2010 Of Sabre AirCentre Crew Control Released
Airline Operations
In November, version 2010 of Sabre® AirCentre™ Timetable Control and Sabre® AirCentre™ Crew Control was released. This version is the foundation for Sabre AirCentre Enterprise Operations and our service-oriented architecture, the Sabre® ASx^sm Airline Services Exchange.

With the ASx exchange, we have launched a technology environment that enables streamlined and robust integration not only among our own systems but also to third-party and in-house systems. The most immediate integration where this advantage can be seen is with Sabre® AirCentre™ Movement Control, a new Sabre® AirCentre™ Pairing Optimizer and Sabre® AirCentre™ Recovery Manager.

In a future release, version 2010 will enable concepts and technologies that are currently being engineered: for example, mobile access, enhanced crew qualification management and Microsoft SQL.

Customers who have already upgraded to version 2010 have given positive feedback, so please contact your Sabre Airline Solutions account director for upgrade assistance.

Crew Manager Enhancements Now Available
Airline Operations
The New Year is a typically a time for reflection on the past. For our crew management department, this New Year brought with it an opportunity to celebrate our accomplishments in 2009 and look forward to an exciting, busy 2010.

Last year, the rewrite of Sabre® AirCentre™ Crew Manager became real. After a year of design based on your significant feedback in 2008, the new Crew Manager began taking shape in 2009. As was presented in our 2009 users conference, the new Crew Manager currently provides support to retrieve and edit crewmembers rosters, display personal information of crewmembers and see legality alerts in the roster view from our flexible rules engine, Sabre® Rules Manager. The design simplifies the workload by combining pairing and roster views into one tool.

Looking forward to 2010, the enhancements will continue for the user interface. We will continue to refine the way we present Gantt information to give you a concise picture of the data you deem most important.

Based on the success of the user interface rewrite, we are also beginning to design and implement a new data model and business logic for the system. The new “back-end” will improve performance, enhance customer configurability and reduce implementation timelines. This will change the experience for technicians and users alike. Stay tuned for more details of this exciting development.

We look forward to working with you this year and showing you our progress.

For additional information about Crew Manager enhancements, please contact Kevin Stupfel.

Version 2010 Of Movement Manager Now Available
Airline Operations
Last December, we launched Version 2010 of Sabre® AirCentre™ Movement Manager, and it is now available for upgrade. Some of the key features of the new version include:

• Modify Flight Leg: This function enables you to modify commonly used multiple aspects of a flight leg(s) at the same time in a single place. You can change flight times, airports, aircraft and/or aircraft type for the screen with ease of use.

• Fuel Management: Airlines can track fuel receipts and associated information such as provider code, quantity, density and fuel on board for a flight. The system enables you to record uplift of defueling activities and validates the fuel receipt quantities against the fuel loaded and advises if there is a discrepancy.

• Integration with Sabre® AirVision™ SlotManager: With integration via the ASx (Airline Service Exchange) between Movement Manager and the SlotManager solution, we are able to provide actualized data to SlotManager for 80/20 reconciliation. The system also interfaces with the AutoSlot module of the SlotManager solution to provide schedule change information that can be validated for slot changes and impact on the schedule. Movement Manager 2010 is being enhanced to support additional integration with the SlotManager solution to provide real-time slot impact validation by enabling you to send what-if changes for validation and impact analysis before publication.
• Reporting Capability: The system provides in-built reports enabling you to filter data based on a predefined set of conditions. The framework provides an easy way to add more reports as well as customize current reports. The reports are built using open-source technology, thus providing a low-cost solution.
• Technological Updates: The solution can now be deployed on OpenSolaris OS and run on blade server using Intel or equivalent chipsets. The solution also provides added monitoring and data management capabilities.

• Post-departure management — invoicing control and quality control.

In-flight consulting deliverables are available in bundled tiers, which offer comprehensive solutions, as well as on an “à la carte” basis to target specific areas for improvement.

New Identity For Loyalty Solutions
Loyalty Management
The solutions Sabre® Agency Activity, Sabre® Corporate Loyalty and Sabre® Traveler Loyalty have formally joined the SabreSonic® Customer Sales & Service family. Now part of the SabreSonic® Loyalty component, these three solutions have new names:

• Agency Management, formerly known as Sabre Agency Activity,
• Corporate Management, formerly known as Sabre Corporate Loyalty,
• Frequent Flyer Management, formerly known as Sabre Traveler Loyalty.

In addition to the new name, Frequent Flyer Management has undergone another change. It has moved from mainframe to open-systems technology and is accessed through the Sabre® Community Portal. In addition, the interface and business workflow are improved to help you more efficiently run your loyalty programs.

Previous interfaces and workflow required working between multiple screens, slowing down productivity and adding complexity to the task.

The new, “all-in-one” interface and single view improves usability and enhances productivity.

Seven airlines are already in production with the new version. The goal is to migrate all customers to the new solution by April.

Maintenance And Engineering Consulting: We Can Help
Maintenance, Repair And Overhaul
No matter what your current M&E situation, there is always room for improvement. However, determining the needed improvement, identifying the right solution and implementing that solution take time. And like most airline professionals, you probably don’t have extra time to commit to this process.

Our M&E consulting team can help, freeing you to concentrate on your own responsibilities. We can look into a particular situation on your behalf with the detail required and with an unbiased perspective so you have information to make a sound business decision.

Benchmarking And Selection
When it comes to M&E systems, airlines should consider the tremendous benefit of benchmarking, which provides insightful decision-making information. We can serve as your advisor, assisting throughout the solution selection process. We can help directly pinpoint areas of difficulty in some applications, enabling you to cover those issues appropriately in your project scope.

The professionals who provide our benchmarking consulting call upon more than 200 combined years of industry expertise in airline M&E management and systems implementations. The team has access to a valuable resource library of more than 100 M&E RFIs and RFPs from multiple airlines collated for different industry segments with our own personalized scoring and weighting methodologies.   

Implementation Management
Whether the project is M&E systems implementation or improving maintenance operations processes, we can manage the complete project. This service covers the non-product areas of prime interest to you, areas that M&E software vendors may not effectively address. These areas include project and program management, solution definition, interactive pilot management, data conversion and migration, change management, and solution adoption.   

Health Checks
We can provide a detailed study of the key performance indicators for each M&E function, resulting in a valuable health check report. The report presents high-level prescriptions for improvements to be addressed in the key business areas.

Get Well Programs
Based on the status and recommendations made from the health checks, you may decide to develop specific get well programs for any particular area. Our consultants can help with this process.

Integration Packages
Our flight following, movement control, maintenance control and maintenance planning solutions have been integrated with more than 15 M&E systems at more than 20 different airlines. This integration has resulted in a standard middleware interface package that can be installed and configured in a matter of days. The key business benefit: greatly improved maintenance yield and decreased disruptions for unscheduled maintenance.

Maintenance Scheduling
We can manage your maintenance schedule over the medium and long term. This service helps maximize aircraft utilization and maintenance yield. We match our maintenance schedules with your internal planning. And we guarantee we can find at least 10 percent improvement in aircraft available time across a calendar year, directly resulting in maintenance costs savings.

Mobility
Technical staff costs can be high. Productivity is the key to profitability in an MRO environment and the key to cost control in an airline’s M&E organization. Keeping mechanics and technicians close to the job at hand while empowering them with the informational tools to perform effectively go a long way toward these productivity goals. We can help you identify the appropriate solutions to increase your profitability.

Summary
Improving your M&E operations doesn’t always mean purchasing a new M&E system. A new system may, in fact, be the source of other issues and challenges for years to come. Let us meet with you and have a look. We are sure that we will be able to find areas of quick returns that will incrementally deliver tremendous value.

For additional information about our maintenance and engineering consulting practice, please contact Allan Bachan.

Airline Data Bureau Enhancements
Market Data And Analysis
The Sabre® AirVision™ Network Analyzer function of the Airline Data Bureau provides you with insights into the true market size and passenger demand potential between any two points around the globe. The current application lacks sufficient flexibility and choice in the types of operations it performs. As a result, the application’s usability, look and feel, and flexibility have been enhanced. Many suggested modifications ¾ such as increasing the value of the resulting data ¾ were provided by our user community and incorporated into the new application version.

The new enhancements are broadly defined as:

Enhanced, User-Friendly Look And Feel
The new version presents an intuitive display, which can now be accessed through a single URL, making it simple to use and easily accessed by sales, network and revenue management users.

Input Flexibility

The O&D Analysis screen displays the flexible input option available under the origin/destination option along with the added advantage of comparing two periods at an aggregate level.

Two different time periods can now be compared and traffic flow between chosen points can now be viewed: for example, from an area to a specific airport or country. Complex reports can be generated based on user requirements, and users can optimize the input criteria.

Integration Of Fares/Revenue And QSI

Enhancements have been made to the average fare, total revenue, passenger flows and connect points. Share gap is a comparison of airline share to the QSI share. Figures marked in red (as shown above) show negative share gap, and figures in green show gain in share for the given period.

An important addition is QSI share. A proprietary solution, QSI share is a mathematical estimation of the fair share that an airline should have in a specific market. It provides you with a benchmark against which you can measure your markets’ performance. The model delivers valuable business-planning insight by estimating the share your airline should have in a given market.

Segment outputs have been updated with additional information.

Additional output selections have been added to the Segments tab. And selecting the Airline Share radio button lets you view the marketing and operating airlines on a specific leg. The operating carrier is the airline that owns the aircraft; it is the actual carrier that operated the flight. The marketing airline sold the ticket from the origin to the destination. All flight numbers are connected to this airline.
Also, you can view the breakup of bookings into high, medium, low and others along with average fare total revenue and yield for the various airlines on the given segment.

Segment outputs have been updated with additional information.

Using the Traffic Flow By Operating Airline radio button, you can analyze the following information at a more granular level:

• Flow share — This mathematical calculation indicates the number of nonstop passengers on the given segment or leg.
• Flow Report — A sub-report available at a segment level providing information on the outbound and inbound passengers for the given segment: this report provides you with a view of the final destination and actual point of origin of the passengers flying a given segment and is useful to analyze the local traffic on a given segment.
• Schedule Report — Since Airline Data Bureau data does not provide the granular flight details, this report provides valuable schedule information based on the data provided by Innovata.
• Codeshare Analysis Report — Load Factor and Available Seat Kilometers have been added to make the network analyzer application more complete.
• Flexible Reporter — Using this feature lets you create any number of reports that meet user-specified criteria. You now have the freedom to generate your own user-defined reports for your own internal analysis.

The Network Analyzer gives you all this and more.

If you are interested in a detailed demonstration, please call +91 9972597496 or send an e-mail to Sharmila Kharab.

Editing Market Rules In Codeshare Manager
Planning And Scheduling
When creating a market rule in a Sabre® AirVision™ Codeshare Manager partnership, we specify whether the market is a best-connect codeshare or whether it is a blanket codeshare. Until now, if you changed your mind after creating the market rule, you would have to delete the market rule and then create a new one the way you wanted it.

With the new Codeshare Manager software release in spring 2010, you won’t have to delete and add if you change your mind. Instead, an edit function will let you change the type of one or more selected market rules in one step.

This is one example of several usability improvements in the spring 2010 release.

For additional information about Codeshare Manager, please contact Jeremy Million.

Slot Manager IATA Change Generator Plus
Planning And Scheduling
In the spring 2010 software release, a new way to generate changes will be introduced in Sabre® AirVision™ Slot Manager IATA. This is part of the plan to eventually replace the existing technology of the current Change Generator feature with the latest Java technology. We use the “Plus” terminology to distinguish the new Change Generator from the previous one.

Change Generator Plus is not only a change in technology; it is also a change to provide you with more capabilities. For example, with Change Generator Plus, you will have the option to preview the changes that would be produced for a particular situation before actually generating the changes. You will also be able to set different generation options for different airports so that you can run through the generation in one “go” for all airports, instead of running it separately with different options for different sets of airports.

In addition, with Change Generator Plus, we will separate out the functions so that you can run them separately to view the results in successive stages of the business process rather than waiting until the end to see the final result. This will result in far more transparency and flexibility when managing slot changes as a result of schedule changes.

For additional information about Change Generator Plus, please contact Jeremy Million.

Crew Rotation Constraint In Fleet Manager
Planning And Scheduling
When using Sabre® AirVision™ Fleet Manager for short-term schedule adjustments with swaps within crew-compatible equipment types, the solution created by Fleet Manager still could disrupt crew rotations. To address this aspect, Fleet Manager has been enhanced to read the crew rotations file generated by the crewing system and ensure that the crew rotations are still honored. This enhancement will be available to customers as part of the 2010 software release along with other enhancements completed for this release.

For additional information about Fleet Manager, please contact Jeremy Million.
