AUG 21, 2003 (newstodate): Finnair has contracted Swedish provider Carmen to implement its Carmen Crew Rostering system for cabin crew management.
The system has generated "dramatically reduced" lead-times and crew costs, and to allow crew members to influence their working schedules, Finnair has also installed the Carmen Internet application, InterBids.
-The reduction in planning times and increased efficiency has given Finnair an extremely short return on investment period. I believe, however, that an even more important aspect is that the system will give us better control over our costs and adaptability, says Ville Iho, Finnair Assistant Vice President, Crew Resources.
