Avion Express has integrated an ETL system across its fleet positioning itself as the first airline in Lithuania to entirely replace traditional paper logbooks with a cutting-edge electronic system.
Avion Express, the world’s largest narrow-body aircraft ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) operator, has taken a significant leap into the future of aviation by successfully integrating an Electronic Technical Log (ETL) system across its fleet. This noteworthy development positions Avion Express as the first airline in Lithuania to entirely replace traditional paper logbooks with a cutting-edge electronic system, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.
“This step aligns with our commitment to innovative decisions within the aviation industry, proving to be timely and offering clear value. At Avion Express, we believe that digitalizing is the path to the aviation future, primarily working for the safety of our passengers and the effectiveness of the airline. We constantly search for the most modern solutions in every step of our work. It is pivotal to analyze data, compare it, and make decisions based on it. Analyzing and comparing data and making informed decisions is crucial. With the introduction of the electronic logbook system, we now have all the digital data, which enables us to track and improve our and our customers’ Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) more effectively. This also allows us to assess the overall performance of the fleet, the performance of the maintenance provider, etc,” said Aistis Urbonas, VP of Technical, Avion Express.
One of the key advantages of the electronic system is its ability to centralize data visibility. This ensures that a wealth of information is readily available in one place, promoting faster and more efficient execution of various tasks. Most importantly, the system allows for comprehensive data analysis, a crucial aspect for Avion Express’s operations and for delivering high-quality service to ACMI customers.
In addition to its analytical capabilities, the ETL system eliminates the time-consuming process of handling and sending paper documents. This reduction in administrative overhead is particularly significant as Avion Express’s fleet expands, with a notable increase from 39 aircraft at the beginning of the year to 54 by the end, and an anticipated growth to 39 in 2022. The automation and simplification of tasks that previously required manual effort not only enhance operational efficiency but also allow skilled professionals to focus their time and expertise where it is most impactful.
The successful integration of the Electronic Technical Log system involved comprehensive training sessions for all users, including pilots, cabin crew, engineers, and base operators. Avion Express recognizes the challenges associated with adapting to a new system and is actively supporting its team in embracing and benefiting from this technological advancement.
Avion Express, as part of the Avia Solutions Group family, holds a prominent position as the world’s largest narrow-body aircraft ACMI operator with a fleet of 199 aircraft. This strategic move towards digitalization positions the company at the forefront of innovation in the aviation industry, setting a precedent in Lithuania’s aviation landscape.
