The airline also plans to move from its current flight tracking system to Sabre’s Flight Explorer.

Sabre’s Flight Plan Manager brings together real-time information on variables that include weather, air space restrictions, aircraft performance and schedule information. It then calculates an optimal flight route relative to those variables. This automation supports flight planning decision-making across operations, enabling Turkish Airlines to address concerns such as fuel efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions.

"For the past six years, Sabre's Flight Plan Manager has been an integral tool in supporting us to automate the collation of substantial flight planning data,” says Dr. Ahmet Bolat, Turkish Airlines' chief investment and technology officer.
