Vietjet and Lufthansa Technik signed an agreement to adopt AVIATAR’s Technical Logbook, the seamless digital pilot-to-maintenance collaboration application.
The application will be equipped on Vietjet’s entire fleet to replace manual and paper-based process of capturing technical issues during flight and on ground and improve data quality and speed as well as transparency. AVIATAR’s Technical Logbook enables completion of flight logbook input and maintenance pre, during flight, and upon arrival as it is seamlessly integrated in Vietjet’s maintenance and engineering system. Furthermore, the application’s advanced features and enhanced back-end capabilities will lead to decreased turnaround times while increasing fleet’s technical reliability and operational safety.
“Vietjet is our first AVIATAR Technical Logbook customer in Asia Pacific. The application will not only increase the airline’s efficiency but also provide a new pool of real-time operational data which allows, for example, the MCC (Maintenance Control Center) to monitor and approve data flows,” explained Zang Thio, Vice President Corporate Sales Southeast Asia and Indian Subcontinent at Lufthansa Technik. “Our solution is making a strong case as a second generationETLB solution and we are proud that Vietjet will join us as a pioneerin Asia Pacific.”
