Sabre Airline Solutions Implements Asia’s First New-Generation Resource Management Suite for Major Hong Kong Airport Service Provider

Agreement With Jardines Aviation Services Group Provides Added Efficiency In
Managing Staff and Equipment Resources

SOUTHLAKE, Texas and HONG KONG, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ — Sabre Airline
Solutions announced today that it has signed a major agreement in Asia with
Jardines Aviation Services Group (JASG) for the implementation of the region’s
first new-generation, integrated Resource Management Suite to efficiently
manage JASG staff and equipment resources. Terms of the agreement were not
disclosed.

The implementation will cover JASG passenger and ramp handling services at
Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, Asia’s busiest airport with
more than 30 million passengers arriving or transiting annually. Currently,
JASG provides services for more than 30 airlines and cargo handlers.

The key enhancements of the resource management suite include Sabre
StaffPlan staff forecasting and planning system, Sabre StaffAdmin employee
tracking and assignment system, and Sabre StaffManager automated staff
allocation system. The implementation will enable JASG to:

     --  significantly reduce the manual process in forecasting and planning
         tasks for staff and equipment,
     --  track and assign appropriate staff rosters,
     --  offer ground handling services at controlled cost, and
     --  handle increased business with budgeted resources.

According to David Clymo, JASG Finance Director, Sabre Airline Solutions
was awarded the contract due to the company’s ability to address specific
requirements unique to Hong Kong International Airport.

“JASG required an efficient and centralized staff and equipment planning
system for both passenger and ramp handling that would enable a move away from
the current non-centralized setup,” Clymo said. “We visited several Sabre
Airline Solutions RMS customers throughout Europe and could see similarities
with our operations. After an intensive evaluation, Sabre Airline Solutions
was proven to offer the best-of-breed customized solution for the requirements
of JASG, which was instrumental in the contract win.”

Cameron Curtis, Asia Pacific vice president for Sabre Airline Solutions,
said the JASG implementation demonstrates the company’s ability to partner
with different areas of the aviation industry and show proven results.

“This contract win with JASG validates our aptitude in tailoring solutions
for all areas of the aviation industry, not just airlines,” said Curtis. “By
listening to client requirements Sabre Airline Solutions is able to leverage
our solutions expertise and experience in delivering functional and process
enhancements that provide a rapid and measurable return on investment.”

Sabre Airline Solutions has an enviable client list throughout the Asia
Pacific region including airlines, Asian government departments and ground
handling companies. The company is the Asia Pacific market leader in aviation
technology and has experienced rapid growth in the region. More than
65 contracts have been signed in 2003 across a broad product portfolio, which

Currently, Sabre Airline Solutions counts more than 30 Asia Pacific
airlines as customers, including Air New Zealand, Cathay Pacific, China
