Vietnam Airlines has announced it will use Sabre Corporation’s network planning and optimisation technology to support its goals for global growth.

Currently, the airline flies nearly 100 routes to 22 domestic and 31 international locations, including direct flights to France, Germany, and the UK, and has recently added routes to the US, Germany, India, Italy, and the Philippines. It is also set to add more destinations across Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, and Asia.

The Vietnam flag carrier will deploy: Sabre’s Fleet Manager, which will allow it to match capacity and aircraft type with demand; its Profit Manager, to accurately forecast and maximise network profitability; the Network Manager, to reach hub optimisation and enhance codeshare planning; and the Schedule Manager, which will deliver revenue-driven schedules across its network.

The airline already distributes its fares and offers through Sabre’s global travel marketplace.

“Sabre’s network planning and optimisation tools will help us pinpoint profitable routes, create optimised schedules, and stay agile in a dynamic environment – enabling us to deliver greater value for both our passengers and our business,” said Nguyen Quan Trung, director of corporate planning and development at Vietnam Airlines.

Rakesh Narayanan, Sabre Corporation’s vice president and regional general manager of Asia Pacific for travel solutions airline sales, also commented: “This new agreement underscores the strength of Sabre’s technology in addressing the increasingly complex challenges faced by the world’s top airlines when it comes to creating optimum plans. We look forward to helping Vietnam Airlines unlock further geographic and revenue growth.”
