V Australia chooses Sabre

V Australia, Sir Richard Branson’s new long-haul Australian carrier and a part of the Virgin Blue Group of Airlines, has chosen Sabre Airline Solutions as its partner of choice for its flight operations and crew management needs.

V Australia will use the Sabre AirCrews Crew Management Suite and the Sabre AirOps Operations Suite to manage its daily maintenance and flight operations, automate flight planning, produce flight plans, schedule and manage crew.

Virgin Blue and Sabre have had a thriving partnership for over seven years. Virgin Blue chose Sabre’s integrated, proven solutions several years ago for flight scheduling, flight planning, revenue management, flight operations and crew management.

"We wanted a solution that we knew would be in place well before our launch so we could be trained and prepared for our first flight," said Scott Swift, V Australia’s Executive General Manager. "We required the most capable and smart solution, and we wanted to operate this solution efficiently and profitably. As we looked at vendors, we turned to our trusted provider, Sabre Airline Solutions, who has been a partner with us at Virgin Blue. They came through for us ahead of our scheduled launch, on budget and with absolute professionalism."
