Sabre Corporation, a global technology provider to the travel and tourism industry, has signed a new agreement with Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air to provide its AirCentre Flight Plan Manager solution to streamline the airline’s operations.

For the past eight years, Gulf Air has been using AirCentre Flight Plan Manager to achieve significant cost savings whilst enabling key flight planning decisions. Under the renewed agreement, the solution will be vital in strengthening the national carrier’s position within the regions it serves. Sabre’s technology will play a crucial role in helping the airline to deliver a wide range of enhancements in flight planning, fuel saving and operational efficiency.

Captain Nasser Al Salmi, Gulf Air chief operating officer, says: 'AirCentre Flight Plan Manager offers an essential technology solution in support of Gulf Air’s operations. With this solution, we can accurately calculate fuel usage, in turn supporting our drive to better manage and reduce fuel costs. This upgrade can only further benefit Gulf Air as we continually work towards operating in the most efficient and cost-effective manner and maintaining the highest level of service for our passengers.'

'It is increasingly evident to us that Gulf Air is enjoying greater success and has a clear path for continued growth over the coming years,' says Dino Gelmetti, vice president Airline Solutions EMEA, at Sabre. 'Sabre is fully committed to helping Gulf Air deliver that strategy.'
