Aeroflot cuts over to Sabre booking and agency distribution

Sunday, 24 Mar, 2005 0

Aeroflot has migrated the airline and affiliated travel agencies in Russia to Sabre booking and ticketing. 

The move is part of a bundled distribution and operational systems contract the airline has signed with Sabre Airline Solutions and the GDS operator, Sabre Travel Network.

The deal involves a customised version of the Sabre for 500 Aeroflot-affiliated agents, along with Sabre Airline Solutions’ SabreSonic reservations and passenger management systems.

More than 1,500 Sabre terminals have been installed in Aeroflot offices and about 5,500 in the Aeroflot affiliated agencies.

Today’s migration involved switching all current reservation records from Aeroflot’s current technology (provided by SITA) for its inventory system for airline tickets reservation and sales to SabreSonic.  More than 300,000 passenger records were switched in 31 minutes during the conversion; over 10,000 records a minute. 

Gianni Marostica, president of Sabre Airline Solutions, said: “This cutover has huge implications for Aeroflot and its role as a major international airline as well as advancing customer-oriented travel services within Russia.

“The Sabre team recognised the importance of this accomplishment and dedicated itself to making it successful.  We are pleased that our new generation solution was ready for Aeroflot to implement in the timeframe it required rather than depending on promises of future developments, and the successful cutover today does truly separate us from our competitors’ rhetoric in this regard.”
