self-service capabilities and the growth of the online space,” said
Gianni Marostica, president of Airline Passenger Solutions for Sabre
Airline Solutions. “Since its launch in January of 2004, the
customer-centric shopping and booking method has proved its value to
carriers and their customers alike by offering the best options for
booking, check-in and exchanges for today’s travelers.”

Major and regional airlines and low-cost carriers worldwide are
using the open-systems technology of the SabreSonic suite for the
customer-oriented functionality, flexibility, speed and ease of use it
offers. SabreSonic Web can be employed as part of the full lineup of
SabreSonic passenger solutions or purchased on a stand-alone basis,
enabling carriers to take advantage of the Web module regardless of
their existing reservations system.

The Web module offers airlines and their customers a variety of
features from basic airline Web site booking capability to connecting
online consumers with hotel and car rental partners. Recent
enhancements to the product extend a carrier’s Web booking
capabilities to airline travel agents and corporate customers with
features such as unique user profile identification. Newly added
online coupon capabilities enhance the offering’s continued support of
airline promotional offers.

The Web component air search page offers travelers the ability to
book online by itinerary or price, request nonstop flights and select
from one-way, round trip or multiple destination searches. SabreSonic
Web can also be configured to provide separate storefronts for
specific airline needs, such as corporations and travel agents,
helping carriers better serve the specific needs of various customer
segments.

“Self-service, particularly online, is becoming a foundation of
traveler expectations from ‘consumer-friendly’ airlines,” added
Marostica. “The Web component has proven itself as a true
business-to-consumer online offering that directly responds to the
travel consumer’s demonstrated desire to drive the shopping and
booking process.”
