Talora brings ASAP automated data into EFB ecosystem
This collaboration bridges advanced flight deck software with critical aircraft performance engineering to enhance safety and efficiency for aircraft operators.
Talora COO Stephen Young with Justin Ruff, global EFB consulting manager at ASAP at ACE26.

Talora, the next-generation Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) developed by DextraData Aviation Technologies, has entered into a strategic partnership with Automated Systems in Aircraft Performance (ASAP) to fully integrate the ASAP STAR Mass & Balance and Runway Performance modules directly into the Talora EFB platform. The partnership, announced at Air Charter Expo 2026, marks a significant milestone in Talora’s vision to deliver a truly connected, all-in-one pilot operating environment. By integrating critical flight performance and weight and balance functionality within a single application, pilots will benefit from streamlined operational workflows, reduced workload and the elimination of unnecessary switching between applications and screens during flight preparation and execution.

The collaboration combines the strengths of two experienced aviation technology providers. DextraData Aviation Technologies, the company behind Talora, brings over 25 years of expertise in Electronic Flight Bag solutions and aviation software development, while ASAP contributes more than 30 years of experience in aircraft performance engineering and operational calculation systems.

During the initial phase of the partnership, Talora users will gain access to certified Mass & Balance and Runway Performance calculations for more than 320 aircraft types.

The integration will provide operators with seamless access to critical operational calculations directly from within Talora, alongside Navigation Charts, Electronic Flight Folder (EFF) capabilities, operational documentation and other core EFB functionality.

CCO Stephen Young says: “This partnership represents an important step in ensuring Talora becomes the Electronic Flight Bag of choice for operators worldwide. Our strategy has always been clear: to build dynamic, next-generation EFB solutions while partnering with the industry’s leading specialists wherever possible, to ensure pilots receive the best experience and operational capability available.

“By integrating ASAP STAR’s proven Mass & Balance and Runway Performance solutions directly into Talora, we are creating a genuine all-in-one EFB environment. Pilots will be able to access Navigation Charts, Electronic Flight Folder functionality, documentation, Mass & Balance and Runway Performance calculations from within a single application, enabling a more efficient and intuitive workflow.

“This integration is also an important step towards unlocking the full value of operational data. By connecting information generated throughout every phase of flight across the Talora ecosystem, operators can reduce pilot workload, minimise the potential for errors, improve operational efficiency and ultimately enhance both safety and the user experience.”

Justin Ruff, global EFB consulting manager at ASAP, adds: “ASAP is proud to partner with Talora to integrate our industry-proven Mass & Balance and Runway Performance solutions into a next-generation EFB platform. By combining ASAP’s aircraft performance expertise with Talora’s connected flight operations environment, we are helping operators streamline cockpit workflows, reduce workload and provide flight crews with the critical information they need through a single platform.”

As operators continue to seek greater efficiency, improved situational awareness and simplified cockpit workflows, the integration of ASAP STAR within Talora provides a powerful solution that unites essential operational tools into a single, connected platform.
