Airport Automation for Both Passengers and Airlines SOUTHLAKE,
Texas, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Sun Country Airlines and Sabre
Airline Solutions announced today the successful implementation of
Sabre Aerodynamic Traveler Web Check-in and Sabre Aerodynamic
Traveler Gate Reader, part of the integrated Sabre Aerodynamic
Traveler Passenger Processing suite of passenger processing tools.
The services will be delivered via Sabre Airline Solutions' eMergo
web-enabled and dedicated network solutions, an applications
service provider (ASP) offering. Use of the Internet by airline
customers for flight check-in increased by 300 percent in 2003,
with 27 percent of business travelers and 23 percent of leisure
travelers using the Internet for check-in, according to industry
reports by Forrester and Giga research firms. Sun Country Airlines
and Sabre Airline Solutions are meeting industry demands by
providing passengers with more convenient check-in and boarding
options. "Our customers needed relief from the longer lines at the
Humphrey Terminal," said Mark Ondrey, Director of Information
Technology with Sun Country Airlines. "The collaborative efforts of
Sabre Airline Solutions and the Sun Country staff have already paid
off, with more than a third of our passengers having checked in for
their flights at suncountry.com in just the first two weeks of
availability. The improvements at the gates have enhanced the
efficiency of our airport staff activities and we've received
extremely positive passenger feedback, making this implementation a
true win-win for everyone involved." The three-year agreement
demonstrates Sun Country's commitment to providing its passengers
with the newest automation designed to improve their airport
experience. "By choosing the Aerodynamic Traveler Web Check-in and
Gate Reader, Sun Country is providing its passengers with
technology that has streamlined the boarding process from check-in
to take-off," said Steve Clampett, president, Airline Products and
Services, for Sabre Airline Solutions. The implementation also is a
testamentto Sabre Airline Solutions' ability to provide key airport
automation for the advantage of its airline clients. "Sun Country
is positioning itself ahead of the curve by using technology that
is both accommodating and cost-effective," Clampett continued.
"Those carriers that anticipate and prepare for changing industry
dynamics, such as the trend towards passenger self-service
check-in, will reap the competitive advantage that helps ensure
their short- and long-term profitability." Initially, these systems
will be in use at the Humphrey Terminal at the Minneapolis/St Paul
International Airport, the Sun Country primary airport hub. About
