Celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, Korean Air announced a new corporate slogan, "Excellence in Flight," and three supporting initiatives: Service Excellence, Operational Excellence and Innovative Excellence. Innovative Excellence means that Korean Air aims to keep competitive through cutting-edge technologies.

Team rostering will enable Korean Air to manage cabin crew "teams" rather than individuals, thereby maximizing teamwork and improving their productivity as well as customer experience. The AirCrews Crew Connection module will deliver easy, global access to real-time information via the Internet while enabling crew management personnel to receive crew input during the roster planning and generation process.

Nine carriers across Asia Pacific are now using Sabre AirCrews, highlighting Sabre Airline Solutions' commitment to the region, and its ability to provide leading edge solutions that are keeping pace with emerging technologies and trends in the area of crew management.

Cameron Curtis, vice president, Asia Pacific, Sabre Airline Solutions, said Sabre AirCrews provides Korean Air with the ability to manage and optimize what is a very complex part of the airline business.

"There is a clear recognition in the marketplace of the complexity, breadth and depth of the end-to-end Crew Management business processes. Airlines that have implemented our AirCrews system have reduced operational costs up to 10 percent, while the incidence of flight delays and cancellations due to crew scheduling issues has been reduced. These proven results mean good news for both the airline and the airline's customers," said Curtis.

Korean Air has been a Sabre Airline Solutions customer since 1998 and also utilizes the Sabre PC AirFlite application for planning and scheduling. By using Sabre PC AirFlite in conjunction with Sabre AirCrews, Korean Air ensures the integrity of the schedule data between the planning and crewing departments.

Other carriers in the region that have selected the AirCrews suite to help reduce crew costs and support better decision making include Cathay Pacific Cathay Pacific Airways Limited (HKSE: 0293 ) is an airline based in Hong Kong, operating scheduled passenger and cargo services to over 104 destinations worldwide.
