We are happy to announce that EXSYN has successfully completed the data migration of the Etihad legacy fleet from cMRO to AMOS. 

Etihad’s A380 and B787 fleet have been managed in AMOS since their induction at the airline. However its legacy fleet comprising of A320, A330 and B777 aircraft remained in the Oracle cMRO system. The project to migrate the full scope of fleet data commenced in March 2020 and has been completed in a record pace of less than 10 months.

“In the middle of this critical project, the global pandemic hit aviation. As a result we were no longer able to travel to our client for workshops and other critical activities. However, what this project clearly demonstrates is that with the right infrastructure, governance and collaboration tools a project as critical as aircraft data migration can even be performed in a fully virtual setup without comprising on data quality, lead-time and project costs”, says Sander de Bree, CEO of EXSYN.

Opportunity despite the aviation crisis

The French business aviation company VallJet has just signed for AMOS to manage the maintenance and airworthiness follow-up of its increasing fleet of executive jets.
Although the airline industry is heavily affected of the Covid-19 crisis, there are some aviation sectors that are able to turn the tables and even profit from the current situation. VallJet has positioned themselves to be in the right place at the right time as their business supports private owners or companies that have decided to purchase or wet-lease business jets – a sector that has seen a surge during the global pandemic since air travel with regular airlines is less convenient at this time.

AMOS is not completely new at VallJet as many employees in the maintenance and CAMO organisation are already familiar with Swiss AviationSoftware’s MRO solution. In addition, part of the fleet to be phased into AMOS first, was previously managed in AMOS. This will simplify and accelerate the data transfer since a migration from AMOS to AMOS is facilitated using the standard AMOS transfer programs with the data available in the correct format and quality.
“We very much appreciate and feel honoured when former AMOS users stand up for AMOS again in their new employment context. We are glad to welcome VallJet to the AMOS Community and say “welcome back” to some old acquaintances. It is impressive to see how VallJet could use the crisis as a unique opportunity to be seized upon and grow its business,” states Ronald Scherer, CEO of Swiss-AS.

VallJet’s employees are in hurry: “We have been inducting one aircraft every month over the past year; and this is continued in 2021 as we already have four aircraft signed up for flight operation start by the end of the 1st quarter. Until now, we were managing our Cessna Citation II and CJs, Hawker, Legacy and ERJs in different software solutions. To optimize and better control costs of all our maintenance activities, it became evident that we need to merge all data in one single database. AMOS turned out to be the best fit after we had tested other software solutions,” says Jean Valli, President of VallJet.

About VallJet

VallJet is a French business aviation company with a fleet of 30+ aircraft of the types Cessna Citation II and CJs, Hawker 850XP/950XP, Legacy 600/650 and ERJ 145. The company name is derived from the President and Founder of VallJet, Mr Jean Valli. Founded in 2008, the airline flies under the French flag and most aircraft are based at Le Bourget airport, Paris. To optimise the maintenance of its fleet, VallJet acquired the certified Part 145 R&O maintenance workshop located in Bourget in 2018.

BOISE, ID and HARTFORD, CT – January 19, 2021 – Aquiline Drones has signed a multi-year agreement with eTT Aviation to use the SkedFlex product to support Aquiline’s network of thousands of pilots nationwide.

Aquiline Drones operates a small airline making it one of only a few drone companies in the US operating under a 14-CFR Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate. Because of this, they are implementing the same systems in use in a traditional airline for added safety and security of their drone operation. SkedFlex is widely used by North American-based air carriers to provide the tools to support safe and efficient flight operations.

“We pride ourselves as exemplars, advocating safety first, followed by standardization under strict auspices of The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),” says Tom Keck Aquiline Drones/AD Airlines, Director of Operations. “Being an airline, and implementing proven tools like SkedFlex, provides AD added leverage in achieving crucial authorization to perform complex and highly uncommon drone operations.”

“The opportunity to work with Aquiline and support their drone operations with SkedFlex is an exciting opportunity for us,” according to eTT Aviation President Tom LaJoie. “Our focus is to provide operators with the best software automation to allow them to more easily, efficiently, and safely do their jobs – manned or unmanned.”

“The passion of the eTT team to adapt their SkedFlex product to the UAV market dovetails nicely with the Aquiline Drones spirit of approaching the use of drones as aircraft operating in an airline environment. Their ‘can-do’ attitude and flexibility is what separates them from the rest”, adds Keck.

Both companies share the values of agility, reliability, innovation, and safety. They look forward to building on the partnership and the opportunity to bring additional capabilities to the Aquiline Drones operation as it grows.

Juneyao Airlines has been using Flysmart+ since 2013 and, with the purpose of going to digital cockpit operations, decided to acquire also ɅDOC Web Flight Ops, which fully supports Flysmart+ features.

Alain ABGUILLERM, HO Fly & Navigate at NAVBLUE said: “we are happy to count a new ɅDOC Web Flight Ops customer in China, which indicates a good market appreciation of this powerful tool. ɅDOC Web Flight Ops, together with Flysmart+, will help Juneyao Airlines to further digitalize their flight operations”.

BOISE, ID – January 14, 2021. eTT Aviation wrapped up a successful 2020 adding nine clients—including a drone operator, growing the team 81% to 47 people, and acquiring Eagle Cap Software.

eTT added nine aviation customers in 2020, including Aquiline Drones, CSA Air, Eastern Airlines, Kalitta Charters II, Mountain Air Cargo, R1 Airlines, and Ravn Alaska. The addition of Aquiline Drones demonstrates the flexibility of the SkedFlex product and ability of eTT to rapidly respond to ever changing industry requirements. Aquiline Drones plans to use the application to support their rapidly expanding group of drone pilots.

“The passion of the eTT team to adapt their SkedFlex product to the UAV market dovetails nicely with the Aquiline Drones spirit of approaching the use of drones as aircraft operating in an airline environment. Their ‘can-do’ attitude and flexibility is what separates them from the rest”, said Tom Keck Aquiline Drones/AD Airlines, Director of Operations.

Adding clients resulted in additional headcount to support the growth. The eTT team grew 81% last year from 26 to 47, adding staff in development and customer service.

“With COVID, I was worried we would have a tough year,” said eTT Aviation President Tom LaJoie. “Quite the opposite, we had one of the best growth years in our 18-year history. Our customers see the efficiency SkedFlex brings to their operations, and even with the current environment, they see the operational value of their investment.”

Other significant projects for the year included:

• Continued integration of the Management Information System for Aviation (MISA) product suite into SkedFlex.
• The finalization of the development of the new SkedFlex Quality and Training Management System (QTMS).
• Launch of the SkedFlex Preferential Bidding System (PBS).

The year culminated with the acquisition of Eagle Cap Software, adding flight planning, aviation charting, electronic flight bag, and data delivery products to the company offerings which will be called SkedFlex Flight Planning.

“We go into 2021 with a strong base of customers, which we intend to continue to support with the best customer service in the industry,” according to eTT Aviation President Tom LaJoie. “One of the highlights of the year will be adding SkedFlex Flight Planning for two of our existing customers.”
