Have you been on a flight lately? If you peek in the cockpit, the pilot was likely using an electronic flight bag on an iPad. It includes the aircraft operating manual, flight-crew operating manual, and navigational charts … 40 lbs of paper manuals are now available electronically.
In a recent webinar, Guy Garon, Vice President for Information Technology, and Martin Lachance, Director of IT Solutions at Air Transat shared how they took SharePoint Online beyond an intranet application to empower over 350+ flight directors to deliver award-winning experiences aboard over 16,000 flights annually. Paper previously delivered manually around airports and fleet to support daily operations was digitized … and is now centrally managed in SharePoint Online. The airline used Colligo Engage to distribute the right content to the right iPads of flight directors. Today, multi-lingual flight announcements, passenger special needs requests, and inflight movie details are all accessible anywhere, anytime … whether flight directors are in transit, in a hotel, or working in “airplane” mode while in flight. Central office manages one electronic version of documents in SharePoint Online, using Colligo Engage to track usage across flight director iPads.
