Etihad Airways has started rolling out new Sabre software, following the billion dollar technology agreement signed by the two companies last year. The implementation of Sabre’s catering software kicks-off, as it migrates all business operations to Sabre software, including rolling out Sabre’s passenger reservations software.
Lee Shave, Etihad Airways’ vice president for Guest Experience, said: “This new catering software allows us to better manage, audit and analyse important processes such as meal forecasting and procurement of equipment and resources. The enhanced control means we should make savings in excess of US$5 million per annum.”
Sabre’s in-flight catering software will allow Etihad Airways to manage all meal and catering services from a single platform. Using the software, the airline can more accurately cater for in-flight meals, special requests, and monitor quality control. The technology brings together what is currently a multi-layered manual process into a fully automated single platform for the entire in-flight service supply chain. This helps to streamline operations and reduce operational complexity.
