Leading Middle East carrier to realize compliance, efficiency gains
Abu Dhabi, December 1, 2009: Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates and one of the world’s fastest growing commercial carriers, today announced that TechPubs has been chosen to update the airline’s technical publications management system.
The solution, including TechPubs’ advanced FlightPubs and FlightComply solutions, will comprise an end-to-end flight operations documentation management capability, including in-cockpit EFB viewer technology, that will streamline organizational access to pre- and in-flight processes and safety procedure information.
Commercial aviation professionals depend on technical publications information to ensure that key functions, including flight operations and maintenance, are as efficient and as compliant with regulatory requirements as possible. TechPubs’ FlightPubs and FlightComply solutions make up-to-date information instantly and fully available across the airline enterprise – anywhere, to anyone, in the precise digital formats required.
Of particular interest to Etihad was FlightEFB, TechPubs’ solution for real-time cockpit information access. Linked to Etihad’s existing in-cockpit hardware, FlightEFB enables keyword search and retrieval across all available technical information related to equipment, processes, and other areas. In everyday operations, and particularly when safety issues arise, FlightEFB eliminates the delays and confusion of searching printed or digital documents, page by page, for the precise information needed at the moment.
“We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Etihad as our latest airline partner,” said David Williams, TechPubs President and CEO. “By choosing TechPubs, Etihad has endorsed our commitment to critical standards: unparalleled technology delivered by experts who truly understand the challenges of running a global carrier. It’s a message that’s gaining traction in an industry challenged with balancing efficiency with safety considerations. We’re excited to support Etihad’s objectives with our solutions.”
