Sabre Corporation announced the successful implementation of its Revenue Optimizer and Dynamic Availability solutions at Virgin Australia. The airline is now using Sabre’s advanced technology tools to help it to quickly sense and respond to evolving market conditions with real-time data insights.

As travel recovery continues in Australia, Virgin Australia has added Sabre Revenue Management and Pricing capabilities to its technology arsenal, including:
