SYDNEY, May 3 /MediaNet International-AsiaNet/ --
New advanced technology suite to propel state of travel in Russia
Aeroflot Russian Airlines announced that it has signed a contract with Sabre Airline Solutions for a state-of-the-art technology portfolio. The core of this advanced technology solution is the SabreSonic suite, which includes passenger reservations, a web site that allows potential travellers to shop and book travel on Aeroflot, and airport check-in along with a number of other key passenger service modules. The comprehensive offering also will provide Russian travel agencies with full access to the world's leading global distribution system, providing the first ability to directly book travel worldwide including airlines, car rental agencies, cruises, tour operators and rail outside of Russia.
Industry studies indicate that the Russian marketplace is poised for growth and the Russian travel industry will benefit from this growth. In a world of contracting economies, Russia has been experiencing economic growth of 4 percent to 8 percent in recent years and inflation also is on the decrease. Russian airline travel is expected to also grow both regionally and internationally.
Forecasted growth in the airline traffic ranges from 60 percent to 100 percent comparing 2002 to 2010.
While there were 28 million passengers boarded in 2003, there have been estimates that this number could grow to over 100 million by 2015.
