Nomad Aviation has become the first of three new Swiss operators to sign up for Avisched, a flight operations software that covers operational and commercial tasks from the scheduling and dispatching of aircraft to staff and crew management as well as charter sales.

Nomad Aviation is a business jet charter operator and aircraft management company with head offices in Kloten and specialises in charter sales, ops, CAMO, accounting (including an ABACUS Interface) and training. Director ground operations Thomas Gieschen says: “The transition to Avisched went really smoothly, not least due to the fact that it was able to import all our relevant historical data. Besides Avisched's basic features such as aircraft and crew scheduling, the intuitive and comprehensive staff and crew management modules and the numerous interfaces, such as those to Airsupport's PPS, Avinode, ASQS, Stratafleet, Fuel and more or ABACUS, the Avisched Owner Portal was a particularly convincing sales argument.”

The Avisched Owner Portal is a web-based application which enables operators to provide aircraft owners with a dedicated web-based app to let them see what's going on with their aircraft, their aircraft's schedules, next flights and when maintenance is due. “You could say that it all began in Switzerland,” adds head of marketing and sales Nana Steiner. “We are now proud to welcome three new Swiss operators on board at Avisched, the first of which Nomad Aviation.”

Avisched's launch customers were a Vienna-based operator and its Swiss subsidiary. The company is based in Austria and its staff combines over 30 years of experience in the aviation and information technology industry.
