Gama Aviation's Middle East division has signed a contract with Swedish company Web Manuals which will enable it to use Web Manuals' iPad application and electronic flight bag systems.

The systems will control Gama's documentation, legal compliance and operational agility and Gama crew will have instant cockpit access to all relevant manuals. Going paperless will also save on cost and reduce environmental impact.

Dave Edwards, managing director for Middle East and Asia of Gama Aviation, comments: “Paperwork is a double-edged sword for business aviation companies.

“As we introduce improved and evolving systems, whether it's on safety management or on customer service, the volume of information we carry on board increases.”

Edwards adds: “We have been looking for a way of streamlining this process to improve the access to information for our crew which benefits our aircraft owners and the regulatory authorities we work with. Web Manuals understands our business and responds quickly – it is a really simple and straightforward system to use.”
