SABR News & Events

Hawaiian Airlines transitioned to the same Sabre (SABR) passenger service system used by Alaska Airlines (ALK), a significant integration milestone that provides guests flying with Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines a more seamless and consistent travel experience from booking to boarding across a growing global network. The combined company's shared PSS serves as the central reservation technology that connects the digital tools and programs used by guests and employees; from websites, mobile app, Atmos Rewards and Huaka'i by Hawaiian loyalty programs, to airport kiosks and reservation records.

Sabre (SABR) and Constellation Software (CSU), a beneficial owner of approximately 12.7% of Sabre's outstanding shares, have entered into a strategic governance agreement. In connection with the agreement, Sabre will appoint Damian McKay, CEO of Vela Software Group, an operating group division of Constellation, to its Board of Directors. In connection with the agreement, the Sabre Board will terminate the company's shareholder rights plan announced on March 1. McKay joined Vela in 2015 through its acquisition of Datamine, where he had served as CEO since 2012 and continued to serve as CEO until assuming his current role in 2020. Prior to Datamine, McKay served as General Manager of Energy Services for Australia and New Zealand at GE Energy, a division of General Electric at the time. Prior to GE Energy, McKay held sales roles at energy retailer, AGL Power, and electric utility companies, CitiPower and Powercor, in Australia. McKay currently serves as a member of the Constellation Software Advisory Board and on the Board of Directors of several private subsidiaries of Constellation Software and Vela Software.
