Valuair Cuts over to Sabre Airline Solution’s SabreSonic Reservation Suite; Move to New Generation Passenger Solution Enhances Valuair’s Accessibility with Travel Trade

SINGAPORE & SOUTHLAKE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nov. 22, 2004–In a
move to improve Valuair’s seat inventory accessibility to travel
agents, the airline today announced its successful cutover to
SabreSonic’s reservation suite.

At a simple inauguration ceremony, Valuair’s Chairman, Lim Chin
Beng emphasized the need to continue to develop and enhance Valuair’s
relationship with the travel trade. “Our cutover to SabreSonic is a
significant development as this will help the travel trade to not only
have greater accessibility to our fares but also enhance our
capabilities for e-ticketing, Internet booking and expanded GDS
connectivity.”

Valuair, which recently announced the commencement of daily
flights to Perth, is also planning to launch a second daily service to
Hong Kong on December 1st.

“The modular architecture and flexible pricing of SabreSonic
allows Valuair to use a variety of distribution channels to offer the
most advanced travel experience at an affordable price point that
works well with its business model,” said Gianni Marostica, president
of the SabreSonic business for Sabre Airline Solutions.

With Valuair’s new reservation system, one of the biggest
beneficiaries are set to be travel agents who will now find it easier
to package Valuair’s airfare with accommodation and tours. In the
future, Valuair will also be able to extend its service offering to
offer code-sharing and interlining capabilities. Passengers also will
benefit from the enhanced customer care features this suite provides.
