Air Malta has chosen Sabre Airlines Solutions’ AirCentre Flight Plan Manager to modernise and streamline its airline operations.

The airline, which uses a number of other solutions from Sabre’s AirCentre Enterprise Operations suite, said it selected Sabre because it offers the most comprehensive solution that also provides the airline flexibility and cost savings.

“We are glad that now we have a fully integrated flight operations solution that increases productivity and provides significant savings to our operations,” said Captain Laurence Gatt, chief officer, Flight Operations and Engineering for Air Malta.

Sabre’s flight planning system uses advanced fuel planning optimisation methods such as variable cost index along with random routing to produce the most cost effective route of flight. The system allows airlines unparalleled flexibility to control its setup and output of flight plan data. In addition, when an airline like Air Malta adopts the Sabre Flight Planning system as part of the comprehensive Sabre AirCentre Enterprise Operations solution, it can leverage common data sharing for timely information exchange resulting in increased productivity and a more efficient operation. Air Malta can now run simulated scenarios to determine optimum solutions prior commencing its operations.
