Malaysia Airlines has successfully implemented the full suite of Sabre Network Planning and Optimisation products, according to a statement from Sabre Corporation. These cutting-edge Sabre technologies are already being used by the airline to optimize schedules, assess current and upcoming partnerships and routes, and make network planning choices.
With the achievement of this milestone, Malaysia Airlines has completed the second phase of implementing Sabre solutions. The carrier can now use Sabre Profit Manager, Fleet Manager, and Network Manager in addition to the earlier-completed Sabre Schedule Manager, Codeshare Manager, and Slot Manager solutions. Together, these solutions provide Malaysia Airlines with improved decision-support capabilities that allow it to better balance capacity with demand, aircraft utilization, and network connectivity, all of which will help schedule profitability.
Bryan Foong, Group Chief Strategy Officer, Malaysia Airlines, stated, “We’re thrilled that we can now take full advantage of a wide range of Sabre solutions as we move forward with an ambitious plan to capture, and create, growth in the Malaysian travel ecosystem and post-pandemic travel recovery.” “As we continue to grow and optimize capacity to meet strong travel demand post-pandemic, we are seeing the value these solutions are bringing us in making timely schedule changes operationally and profitably in response to dynamic travel market condition changes.”
Malaysia Airlines, which has its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur and is a part of the larger Malaysian Airlines Group, operates its own aircraft as well as through codeshare agreements across a sizable global network. Using these improved decision support tools from Sabre solutions, the carrier is now concentrating on increasing capacity to pre-pandemic levels, further optimizing its network, and looking at future routes, including the regeneration plan for Subang Airport, which will be converted into a city airport hub.
Having collaborated for more than 20 years, Rakesh Narayanan, Vice President, Regional General Manager, Asia Pacific, Travel Solutions, Airline Sales, expressed his happiness that this significant new milestone has enhanced their long-standing and treasured relationship. “Airlines must have the proper tools to make the switch from making decisions based on historical behavior to establishing schedules based on advanced analytics in order to obtain a competitive advantage in today’s complex travel industry. Now that they have a comprehensive set of top-notch network planning tools, Malaysia Airlines will have unbeatable decision-making support for their network and fleet management initiatives.
