Air Arabia, the largest low-cost carrier in the Middle East and North Africa, has signed an agreement with Bristol-based airline safety software specialist Vistair to use its innovative e-document management product DocuNet.
Air Arabia, which flies to more than 120 routes from five global hubs in the UAE, Morocco, Egypt and Jordan, will use DocuNet across its fleet of 44 Airbus A320 aircraft.
The move is part of the airline’s innovative approach towards using cutting-edge technologies to drive its business efficiency and customer experience.
DocuNet allows airlines to deliver up-to-date and fully compliant electronic flight operations manuals throughout their organisation. As a result, they have a fully hyperlinked and indexed library of manuals. The service, which has been developed in tandem with airline professionals and is designed for hyper efficiency and ease of use, covers all manufacturers’ data sets and removes the complexity of managing manuals.
Vistair CEO and founder Ian Herbert said: “We look forward immensely to working closely with and supporting Air Arabia to help them deliver their ambitious business aims.
“Over more than a decade, and in partnership with many of the world’s leading commercial airlines, our DocuNet service and other aviation specialist software solutions have proved transformational to our clients, often turning complex processes into simple tasks.”
Vistair, based at Bradley Stoke and with operations in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Dubai, is the world’s leading provider of powerful e-solutions to the global commercial airline industry.
It has developed cutting-edge, cloud-hosted products for global airlines including British Airways, Delta, easyJet, Air Asia and Emirates.
Its products – which can be used on tablets – provide digital information and data for pilots and crews, from flight operations manuals to safety reporting and quality measurement.
They replace the multiple copies of paper-based manuals that airlines are required to carry on their flight decks.
Last year it secured a £9m investment from UK growth equity firm Synova Capital to meet its international growth ambitions and also won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of its burgeoning international sales.
