SOUTHLAKE, Texas and MUSCAT, Oman, Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Oman's flagship
carrier, Oman Air, has signed
an agreement with global technology
provider, Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:
SABR), to extend its Passenger Services
System, SabreSonic® Customer Sales & Service
(CSS). Under the agreement, Sabre will supply additional
technology that enhances the shopping
experience for
customers and creates more meaningful and
profitable interactions with passengers throughout their
journeys.
A SabreSonic customer for the past 13 years, Oman
Air has steadily grown its presence, and has now embarked on
a fleet and network expansion programme to increase
its global footprint. To support this growth, the
carrier has selected two
key SabreSonic shopping solutions – Interline
Branded Fares and Dynamic
Rewards. Together, these simplify the
shopping experience for the customer, driving sales and optimising
partnership revenue streams.
Over recent years, Oman Air has won a string of
accolades for its customer service, catering
and business and economy class seats at
the Skytrax World Airline Awards. Now the
airline will pioneer Sabre's shopping technology to
further differentiate itself from its
competitors, creating an enriched experience for
passengers and promoting its strong brand to an
international audience.
"We are pleased to be expanding our already
successful relationship with Sabre. The company's highly
advanced technology supports our vision for offering
customers the best possible experience, from booking their tickets
to arriving at their destinations," said Paul
Gregorowitsch, CEO of Oman Air. "We are currently engaged in
an expansion programme that will see us increase our fleet to
70 aircraft by 2020. Our network will continue to grow
correspondingly, and we will continue to add exciting
destinations around the world. Employing the
latest state-of-the-art technology from
Sabre is an
essential support for our ongoing expansion. In
addition, Oman Air is already
widely recognised for its high levels of
customer service and outstanding passenger experience.
Sabre's technology will further help to cement Oman
Air's global reputation for quality and service."
Oman Air joins a growing group of forward-thinking airlines that
are using Sabre's flexible portfolio of shopping products
to increase sales conversions, enable a single shopping
display across all itineraries, create long-term customer loyalty
through flexible reward pricing and empower customers to
self-service their travel journeys.
"Oman Air is a fast-growing carrier and long-term
customer of Sabre," said Dino
Gelmetti, vice president EMEA at Sabre Airline
Solutions. "We are proud to expand
our relationship to
deliver innovative technology that helps meet the
airline's critical business needs. Using our
technology, Oman Air will look to transform
its core offerings into new products and services that
drive revenue growth and improve margins, while
providing its customers with greater choice and a
more seamless, personalised shopping experience."
Sabre's technology is favoured by more than 225 airlines
worldwide, including most of the world's largest
carriers. Its flexible and scalable software allows airlines
to operate how they want to, and adapt their business to changing
needs and requirements. It optimises day-to-day airline
operations and ultimately helps airlines solve their biggest
challenges – to increase revenues, reduce costs and deliver better
travel experiences.
