Sabre Holdings CEO Gilliland Calls for Immediate Action on Fuel - Zibb.com

Saying that the airline industry "is the infrastructure that drives so much of the travel industry and really, our entire economy" and noting that U.S. airlines are "fighting every day for their very survival" because of high fuel prices, Sabre Holdings CEO Sam Gilliland urged Washington to take immediate action to tackle the issue of continued high fuel prices.

Speaking today at the annual convention of the National Business Travel Association, Gilliland said crippling fuel prices can best be attacked by:

-- Strengthening the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. He called on the Federal Reserve to implement policies, such as increasing interest rates, to do that. "When the dollar is weak, oil prices are naturally going to be higher," he said. "We need interest rates to go back up just as quickly now" as they fell late last year and early this year. He said economists estimate that "about $40 of the price of a barrel of oil today is attributable to the weak dollar."

-- Increasing oversight of commodities futures trading. "This is an issue that has gained the attention of the U.S. major airline CEOs recently," Gilliland said.

-- New energy sources. Using "American ingenuity and incentives from government to both exploit and develop new, alternative energy sources - renewable and sustainable energy," he said.

-- More production. "We also need increased, yet environmentally responsible production from currently available sources in the near term to meet our country's needs and decrease our dependence on foreign oil."

-- Fixing the U.S. air traffic control system. "We've been talking about this for years, and the time is long overdue for the government to start the process of fixing our air traffic control system." He said that while this is a longer-term solution, it would reduce consumption by up to 400,000 barrels of oil per day by 2030.

Gilliland noted that Sabre has already been active in Washington on the fuel issue, and he called on others in the travel industry to join in pressing Congress and the Bush Administration to work together "to set aside partisanship and election-year politics and deliver solutions now."

"Let's not be lulled into thinking things are going to be okay with the price of oil dropping $20 to $25 during the past few weeks," he said. "With oil anywhere above $100 per barrel, it will be very difficult for airlines to make money at current fare levels."

He also made a strong case that the financial hardship the airlines face today is largely due to conditions beyond their control. "People have grown accustomed to criticizing the airlines, but with few exceptions, they are well managed companies under extreme pressure from forces over which they have little, if any, control." He noted that commercial airlines are 110 percent more fuel efficient today than 30 years ago, but that these gains are at risk because of today's unnecessarily high fuel prices and long-overdue air traffic control reform.

"Oil prices have gone from about 15 percent of an airline's operating expenses in the year 2000 to 40 percent now, and yet fares have remained relatively flat over that time," he said. "The truth is that air travel is half the price it was 30 years ago if you adjust for inflation. Air fares could rise 20 to 25 percent and still remain in line with typical inflation levels."

A copy of Mr. Gilliland's speech will be posted later today at www.sabre-holdings.com/newsroom/speeches.

Red Hat Delivers Unmatched Performance at a Fraction of Previous Costs for Sabre Holdings,

Red Hat (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Sabre Holdings, a world leader in travel marketing and distribution and parent company to Travelocity, Sabre Travel Network and Sabre Airline Solutions, relies on Red Hat solutions for increased performance, system reliability and scalability for its mission-critical open systems. Compared to proprietary Unix/RISC solutions during benchmarking, Sabre's testing has proven that Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Intel performs three times faster and at a fraction of the cost.

Sabre Holdings turned to open source solutions to replace its former proprietary technology in order to improve the stability, performance and cost-effectiveness of its IT infrastructure and to ensure reliability for its customers. The company evaluated the leading Linux offerings on the market, and ultimately chose Red Hat for its established market leadership and renowned support offerings. With Red Hat, Sabre also discovered the power of the developer community that could provide reliable, consistent updates and fixes that could be incorporated in realtime.

"While operating the largest travel distribution service in the world, we develop solutions that must withstand what is perhaps the highest sustainable volumes anywhere, peaking at 32,000 transactions per second, available 24x7, with five-nines uptime. It's always a peak business hour somewhere in the world," said Robert Wiseman, chief technology officer at Sabre Holdings. "Fewer other systems anywhere require more rigor, but with Red Hat we are able to build stronger and smarter systems with our global customers in mind."

"Sabre Holdings selected Red Hat as the IT solution that would allow us to run all our businesses most effectively. Our Travelocity customers use our services for the content, speed, price and presentation, not for the operating system our business runs on," said Josh Hartmann, chief technology officer at Travelocity. "Red Hat provides a proficient and effervescent experience for our customers, who don't even realize that Red Hat is there. And that's the way it should be."

With millions of online customers generating tens of thousands of transactions per second, Sabre uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on thousands of HP x86 servers and continues to expand its use of Red Hat solutions today. Two years ago, Sabre acquired lastminute.com, a leader in European online travel and today, Sabre is in the process of migrating all of lastminute.com's servers to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux has enabled Sabre to standardize its IT architecture, consisting of thousands of systems worldwide, across all three of its companies' IT infrastructures. "Red Hat Enterprise Linux is our corporate standard - all new systems are required to deploy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux," said Wiseman. "Compared to proprietary Unix/RISC solutions, our testing has shown that Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Intel performs three times faster at a fraction of the cost."

Since migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Sabre has benefited from system reliability, lower costs, increased performance and scalability. Sabre has long been known for innovating. InformationWeek named the Sabre central reservation system -the first of its kind ever built at the time - as one of the top 10 greatest software ever written. Sabre's technologists also think like business people to solve real business problems, from inventing automated reservations and yield management systems, to inventing new industries such as online travel, online business travel booking and others used widely today in the travel industry and beyond. Today, Sabre is streamlining airport check-in systems, developing new ways for hotels to connect with customers and forging new revenue streams for online booking.

"Travel is the world's largest industry, touching the jobs of as many as one in 10 people around the world. We rely on Red Hat for our mission-critical open systems. Standardizing our operating system on Red Hat Enterprise Linux has allowed us to focus on our core business competencies," said Wiseman, "We value Red Hat as a long-term partner in our development of Sabre Holdings' corporate IT goals because of the leadership role Red Hat plays in the open source community."

As Sabre Holdings continues to evolve its IT architecture, it will look closely at incorporating additional Red Hat solutions and is assessing Red Hat's integrated virtualization technology.
