Xclusive selects Leon while SaxonAir invests in AeroTrac
UK-based Xclusive Jet Charter is investing in Leon Aviation Oper-tions Control software to support its aircraft operations functions.

UK-based Xclusive Jet Charter is investing in Leon Aviation Operations Control software to support its aircraft operations functions.

Plans are afoot to expand Xclusive’s business and md Steve Loveridge believes that the installation of this software will smooth the process: “We are delighted to be working with Leon. The implementation will help us meet our objectives by replacing existing systems with a fully integrated solution offering even greater efficiency, enhanced control and a reduction in data duplication. The software will provide the capability to accelerate processes and allow for future growth.”

The package will streamline Xclusive’s operational, commercial and financial business processes, integrating all transactions. This means data can be shared across screens in multiple areas of the business and it is expected to lend the company’s functions a more disciplined and consistent touch.

Now that it has secured a contract with Leon, Xclusive is entering talks with CAMP, which is recognised for its maintenance tracking platform. With the Leon system linking to the flight planning systems in use (ARINC and PPS), it is hoped that CAMP will synchronise with Leon. This would further streamline operations and provide the necessary infrastructure and efficiency to achieve growth.

Meanwhile, SaxonAir Charter is investing in TracWare’s AeroTrac Aviation MRO process control software in order to streamline its business processes and save on cost.

The software package integrates transactions and lends a more disciplined approach to day to day tasks, something that Alex Durand, SaxonAir ceo, is keen to praise: “We are delighted to be working with TracWare. AeroTrac will help us meet our objectives by replacing existing systems with a solution offering greater efficiency, enhanced control and a reduction in data duplication. The software is EASA compliant and will provide the capability to accelerate processes, allowing for future growth.”
