Hong Kong Airlines has signed an agreement with Sabre to implement its Sabre AirCentre Crew solution that looks at crew scheduling, management, services and analytics.
With increased connectivity between the aircraft, flight crew and airline staff, the implementation of the solution offers an opportunity for the airline to optimise its processes in the air and on the ground.
Once fully implemented, Sabre’s Crew Solutions can help reduce controllable delays by improving productivity related to scheduling; foster timely communication between schedulers and crew members; reduce cost by minimising crew overage; optimise crew pairings; and drive improved operational efficiency with real-time tracking and communication.
“Sabre provides an end-to-end solution for both our cabin and flight crews, allowing us to continue to provide our customers with the best travelling experience,” said Ben Wong, chief operating officer at Hong Kong Airlines.
He shared that a benchmark exercise has demonstrated the value of the Crew Solutions as it was able to deliver savings due to a reduction in crew requirements, as compared to the current pairing process.
“This demonstrates the immense added value that this new partnership with Sabre brings to Hong Kong Airlines,” added Wong.
