China Southern Airlines Selects Corena Studio To Support Maintenance Authoring For Their Airbus A380 Fleet

Flatiron Solutions®, a global provider of technical information management solutions for knowledge-driven industries including aviation, shipping, rail, energy, and defense, announced today the selection of CORENA Studio by China Southern Airlines for authoring of maintenance documentation for their fleet of Airbus A380 aircraft. China Southern Airlines operates the A380 on a number of premium routes, including Guangzhou to Los Angeles, Guangzhou to Sydney, and Beijing to Amsterdam.

CORENA Studio, part of both the Flatirons Fleet Solution and Flatirons Multi-Spec Solution, is a powerful yet easy to use structured authoring environment to create compliant, interactive XML for aviation maintenance documents. CORENA Studio provides an intuitive, configurable environment for creating or revising documents that are based on aviation industry content specifications, including iSpec 2200, S1000D, DITA, and others. CORENA Studio is offered in both “standalone” modes for simple authoring environments, as well as in conjunction with other CORENA Suite products for more complex authoring requirements.

The Flatirons Fleet Solution provides airlines like China Southern Airlines with a comprehensive solution for full content lifecycle management (CLM), from authoring and revision through content delivery to aircraft maintenance technicians at the worksite. The Flatirons Fleet Solution includes innovative products like CORENA Pinpoint and CORENA Pinpoint Mobile for access to technical publications on mobile devices, as well as the CORENA Knowledge Center and CORENA Insight products for timely, accurate, and compliant publication assembly, review, and approval.

The Flatirons Fleet Solution is used extensively by airlines to make task performers in the field more productive and maximize aircraft utilization. With customers that include nearly half of the world’s top ten airlines, leading MROs, most major jet engine manufacturers, and a host of defense OEMs and operators, CORENA Suite-based solutions are rapidly emerging as the de facto standard for OEM- and program-independent aviation technical publishing.
