Wheels Up is to implement Bluetail's all-in-one aircraft records management hub and MACH Conformity module for its entire owned aircraft fleet.

“We conducted a detailed optimisation analysis of our maintenance records procedures to identify opportunities for enhanced accuracy and efficiency while ensuring the highest levels of safety,” says vice president, fleet maintenance Scott Caddick. “We expect Wheels Up's partnership with Bluetail to provide measurable time and cost savings for our maintenance operation and improve aircraft availability.”

Bluetail's cloud-based SOC 2 and FAA-compliant software and scanning services allow maintenance teams to have instant access, advanced search capabilities and the ability to securely share records regardless of where aircraft are located.

The AI search engine MACH Search enables faster and more accurate record searches, saving hundreds of hours of research time with no need for document tagging, with the result that aircraft are back in the air sooner.

“Wheels Up is one of the most progressive on demand private aircraft providers, and digitising and centralising all aircraft records for its owned aircraft fleet will help control maintenance costs and improve aircraft availability,” says Bluetail co-founder Stuart Illian. “We are extremely proud that it has selected Bluetail's modern digital records platform to securely store and manage all of its maintenance and service records.”

Wheels Up will also utilise Bluetail's Part 135 Conformity module for future aircraft conformity inspections.
