Avinode Group is developing its flight operations platform SchedAero, enhancing the system's interconnectivity for larger operators by integrating maintenance management solution CAMP and launching a new mobile app. Enhancements to the technology's APIs mean that SchedAero is now fully integrated with CAMP, and users of Electronic Advance Passenger Information System (eAPIS) will now be able to send trip data through SchedAero to US Customs and Border Protection.
The SchedAero app, which will be available on iPhone by the end of 2018, will benefit crew and dispatch teams by streamlining communication between the two and allowing them to track information, even without internet access. Users will be able to view and accept upcoming trips, view schedules and log expenses as well as update flight and duty logs and manage passenger check-in. The app will integrate with the myWorld iPad app designed by World Fuel, enabling users to push data for flight planning, weather, airport search and fuel applications.
Executive VP of SchedAero Johan Sjöberg comments: “We're advancing our platform integration to better fulfil the needs of larger operators. In the same way that all Avinode Group products interconnect seamlessly, we're integrating third-party providers to ensure everything aircraft owners, operators and flight departments need to run their business is in one place. We believe that data should not sit isolated in a system, but should be shared, analysed and used for collaboration to drive efficiency.
“SchedAero is now fully interconnected with CAMP, meaning inputting aircraft information in either platform automatically updates the other, reducing admin time and eliminating data entry duplication. Maintenance due dates, for instance, are instantly uploaded.”
Whether accessing SchedAero online, via the app or through APIs, users will now benefit from both quicker access and enhanced features. Sjöberg adds: “Development on our pilot compliance functionality is also accelerating. During the fall, operators will be able to track pilot qualifications and pilot training. If they don't keep up with their training, appropriate alerts will be sent.”
Avinode Group has more than doubled its Portland-based developers from 10 to 21 over the past 12 months.
