Sabre Delivers Proactive Weather, Air Traffic Management Tools

Sabre Airline Solutions announced the release of new proactive weather and air traffic management tools as part of Sabre AirCenter Flight Explorer, Release 9.1. The solution includes new state-of-the-art feature enhancements that will help airlines improve fleet management through weather events and airspace constraints alerts, reducing potential delays and maximizing fuel savings.

The new tools feature a new graphical weather overlay, a dynamic Traffic Flow Management Reroute Advisory Product with alerting functionality, flight status functionality, and new graphical domestic and international weather products.

The Sabre Flight Explorer solution is the industry’s most accurate, reliable and widely-used Aircraft Situation Display (ASD). The system goes beyond “flight tracking” by incorporating multiple data feeds, dynamic weather overlays, situational alerts, weather forecasts and air traffic management tools to make Sabre Flight Explorer an essential flight operations management tool. Users can now utilize a graphical PIREPS overlay that offers extensive filtering capabilities based on icing, turbulence, weather, altitude range, aircraft types, and time frame.

Traffic Flow Management (TFM) Reroute Advisory Product and Update Alert provide a list of TFM advisories, which allows dispatchers to view and analyze reroute options textually and graphically. Advisories are sorted according to action level, with the advisories requiring action taking priority at the top of the list.

An alert can be generated when a reroute advisory is created, updated, or deleted by the FAA. The Holding Analyzer allows a user to display a list of flights that are within a specified region to determine how they are stacked in a potential holding pattern. Information fields are updated every 10 seconds.
