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

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,

governmental requirements for maintaining training records for
airline pilots, check airmen, flight instructors, flight
attendants and dispatchers.

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.”
