Peach has also signed up for Sabre AirCentre Crew Control, a solution suite used by 35 percent of the world’s airlines, to better manage its crew resources and reduce disruptions.

It has an outstanding track record and know what it takes to run an airline like Peach, efficiently,” said Takeaki Mori, operations director, Peach.
The airline will commence flights from its base in Kansai International Airport by March 2012 and will service a network that spans Asia.
“These solutions that Peach has selected from Sabre have measurable success records, saving airlines around the world millions of dollars. Peach understands that running a low cost carrier in this competitive landscape requires it to operate with maximum efficiency. What Peach invests now in best-in-class technology will pay off handsomely in the long run,” said Dasha Kuksenko, head of sales Asia Pacific, Sabre Airline Solutions.
