The new system, currently under development, is expected to support Republic Airways’ commitments to crew satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Republic Airways partners with IBS Software to enhance crew scheduling and efficiency.
“Every airline and every crew member has a keen interest in a schedule-bidding system that is powerful, easy to use and flexible; it supports operational efficiency and crew satisfaction,” said Sam Shukla, SVP and Regional Head Americas, IBS Software. “Republic is one of the industry leaders in modernizing critical information system and has chosen our iFlight Crew solution because it is engineered to deliver optimal scheduling outcomes that enhance both productivity and crew satisfaction.”
“Partnering with IBS Software supports our commitment to improve our crew members’ quality of life,” said Paul Kinstedt, SVP and COO, Republic Airways. “We are confident this partnership will provide our crew members with the flexible, accessible application they deserve when bidding their schedules and it will be an important element in advancing our operational efficiency.”
Republic Airways, which operates as a codeshare carrier in partnership with American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines, chose IBS Software’s iFlight Crew Planning Optimisers to modernise its Preferential Bidding System (PBS) after a competitive review involving managers, crew members and their unions. The application will provide Republic with a configurable solution and an intuitive interface that will give crew members greater control over their schedules while ensuring the airline meets its operational goals.
Additionally, the system improves crew experience by accommodating personalized schedule preferences, increasing transparency in the bidding process, and efficiently allocating duties and time off while ensuring compliance with legal requirements, company rules and quality guidelines. With an extensive array of options to fine-tune the optimizer and bid parameters, the solution can be tailored to meet the specific needs of Republic Airways and its crew members.
