Press Release

On Board Data System's EFB shell and document management solution is the platform of choice for some of the best-known EFBs on the market. They have over five-hundred flight operations using their ECL, OBDS MFB and OBDSsync™ technologies and share the same low-cost, smart-solutions working principle as ETS Aviation.
ETS Aviation's software is known as AVIATION FOOTPRINTER and provides OBDS users with easy, on-board emissions reporting and carbon footprinting application.
Charles Guerin, OBDS President, says, "This is a perfect solution. Our integration system with ETS Aviation allows pilots to enter flight data into a simple form that takes a minute to fill out. The data is then automatically forwarded from the EFB to the AVIATION FOOTPRINTER server, where they manage all the intricacies of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme for a single aircraft, or your entire fleet.
We expect Aviation Footprinting to catch on over here, whether it's a European flight or not. All operators want to do the right thing and have an environmental program that monitors each aircraft's emissions footprint. This system does more than just meet the EU requirements. It will power a carbon risk management system and help locate fuel saving and emissions efficiency opportunities."
David Carlisle, CEO of ETS Aviation, said "We are delighted to be partnered with OBDS on this project. We know that the EU's ETS requirements are dominating the spotlight at present, but operators are already starting to recognize the inevitability of a fully international environmental responsibility regulatory program. AVIATION FOOTPRINTER is designed to be pilot friendly, operations friendly and auditor friendly. In addition to its carbon footprinting and analytical functions, leading verification bodies in theUK are looking at the viability of remote verifications using this system. ETS data held and accessible to verifiers on a web-based system would substantially reduce the auditors' on-site auditing and travel time. It's another way we can help to keep costs down, increase efficiency and do our bit for the planet."
The high level of technical and regulatory expertise already developed by ETS Aviation enables the company to provide highly cost effective aviation emissions software and outsourcing solutions to airlines, business aviation companies and corporate flight departments of all sizes.
