Optimised Passenger Recovery
British Airways launched OPR (Optimised Passenger Recovery) on 01st July 2024 and is used by the Airport and Commercial Operations teams. It offers better options to BA customers, including PNR servicing, better information flow and advanced online self-service options to manage delays and personalised onward travel.
OPR is an automated solution from Amadeus that optimises the passenger’s journey if impacted by a disruption. It checks for real-time availabilities, considers the customer’s frequent flyer status and adheres to a number of business rules set by an airline (e.g. the preferred airlines to rebook on, and the preference order).
Benefits of BA’s New Disruption Rebooking Tool
This offers centralised disruption handling – protecting customers, enhancing
operations and streamlining the recovery process. It allows for automatic rebooking with alternative airlines outside of BA’s Oneworld, Joint Business Partners and codeshare partners. The airline can currently book with 20 disruption partners. OPR allows BA to
rebook more customers, lowering their overall journey delay and reducing overnight delays.
Furthermore, vulnerable customers (those with accessibility keywords in their
booking) are prioritised on direct BA-operated flights. This is followed by customers with Executive Club Tier status, Groups and Premium cabins.
