SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Jul 20, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) — GoJet Airlines, subsidiary of Trans States Holdings, has announced the selection of Sabre Airline Solutions flight operations tools for its crew management, flight planning and dispatch, and operations control and flight following when it begins operations in August. GoJet is a new U.S. regional airline that will serve the St. Louis area.
The Sabre Flight Control Suite components that GoJet will be implementing include:
— The Sabre CrewPlan system — A tool designed to optimize planning flight crews and efficiently respond to schedule changes,
— The Sabre CrewQual system — A solution designed to satisfy governmental requirements for maintaining training records for airline pilots, check airmen, flight instructors, flight attendants and dispatchers.
— The Sabre CrewTrac system — A product that offers real-time tracking of crew assignments, ensures legal requirements are met, validates flight coverage and performs crew qualification checks.
— The Sabre FliteTrac system — An operations and flight following component that enables operations personnel to easily monitor the status of flights.
— Sabre Dispatch Manager — A flight planning and dispatch system that produces flight plans based on meteorological data and payload considerations.
“Trans States Airlines has long relied on Sabre Airline Solutions’ Flight Control Suite, so when we founded GoJet Airlines, we wanted to ensure it had the same smart solutions to ensure a successful launch,” said Rick Leach, president of Trans States Holdings. “These tools have proven to be valuable decision-support solutions that will enable us to run an efficient, reliable airline.”
GoJet, which was formed late last year, will operate as United Express from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Denver International Airport and Washington Dulles Airport. The airline, which will operate 70-seat regional jets, joins more than 60 North America airlines that use at least one component of the Flight Control Suite.
“Having GoJet Airlines join our user community further validates that we have the right solutions for airlines of any size and any business model,” said Steve Clampett, president of Airline Products and Services for Sabre Airline Solutions. “Our integrated Flight Control Suite offers airlines, such as GoJet, a tightly integrated flight operations solution to manage its planning and day-of-departure operations.”
