    Air India goes Digital to manage its widebody Boeing fleet

    /

    New Delhi, 13th July 2026: Air India has taken yet another step forward in its transformation journey with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) approving the use of Electronic Technical Logbooks (ETL) as the primary technical document for its Boeing 787 fleet and authorising parallel implementation across the Boeing 777 fleet. This will boost Air India’s commitment to leveraging technology to strengthen operational performance, safety, reliability, and sustainability and position it as a technology-enabled, modern global airline. With this approval, Air India has now become one of the first airlines to adopt fleet-wide Electronic Technical Logbooks across its entire B787 widebody fleet, to achieve a complete fleet-wide ETL implementation. The Electronic Technical Logbook replaces traditional paper-based maintenance records with a secure digital platform, enabling faster, more accurate, and more efficient management of aircraft maintenance and engineering activities. The digital system provides real-time information sharing between maintenance engineers, and operational teams, improving coordination, accelerating defect reporting and rectification, and enhancing aircraft dispatch reliability. The ETL platform also delivers enhanced data integrity, traceability, and regulatory compliance while providing advanced analytics that support predictive maintenance and informed engineering decision-making. In addition, the paperless system significantly reduces paper consumption, supporting Air India’s sustainability objectives. Commenting on the development, Jeremy Yew Jin Kit, Senior Vice President – Engineering & Maintenance, Air India, said: “The implementation of Electronic Technical Logbooks across our widebody Boeing fleet reaffirms the collaborative work involving engineering, flight operations, digital technology teams, OEM partners and the regulator. Replacing paper-based processes with real-time digital information, we are improving operational efficiency, strengthening maintenance governance, enhancing regulatory compliance and enabling faster decision-making across our engineering and operations teams.” The achievement reflects Air India’s continued investment in digital technologies to modernise engineering and maintenance operations while maintaining the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance. It is a key step in the airline’s broader vision of building a world-class, data-driven aviation business that excels in operational performance and customer service.

    Flyadeal reinforces pilot expertise with Airbus pilot instructor course

    /

    Jeddah, 12th July 2026: flyadeal, Saudia Group’s low-cost carrier, has achieved a significant milestone in its continued investment in people, training excellence, and the development of world-class instructor pilots following the successful delivery of the ground phase of the Airbus Pilot Instructor Course (APIC). The APIC-Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) programme, delivered in collaboration with Airbus, is Airbus’ official development pathway for instructor pilots, designed not to teach flying skills, but to elevate the effectiveness of flight instruction itself. This reflects flyadeal’s ongoing efforts to align its training ecosystem with globally recognised aviation standards and reinforce its position as a forward-looking, efficiency-driven airline within the Kingdom’s rapidly evolving aviation sector. The CBTA framework introduces modern, structured approaches to coaching, teaching, and assessment, focusing on the knowledge, skills, and attitude required for safe and consistent flight operations. Unlike traditional assessment models, CBTA enables instructor pilots to move beyond pass-or-fail evaluation and instead identify the root causes of performance gaps, ensuring more precise, data-driven, and effective training interventions. At flyadeal, investing in our people is fundamental to maintaining the highest standards of safety and operational excellence. The Airbus Pilot Instructor Course represents an important step in strengthening the capabilities of our instructor pilots by equipping them with globally recognised teaching and assessment methodologies. As our airline continues to grow, building strong in-house expertise is essential to ensuring we deliver consistent, high-quality pilot training while supporting the long-term development of our operations. This programme reflects our commitment to continuous learning and developing the next generation of aviation professionals within the Kingdom”. Capt. Naif Almatrafi, Director of Flight Operations,flyadeal said: The APIC-CBTA programme is being delivered across two key training locations, demonstrating effective collaboration within Saudi Arabia’s aviation training ecosystem. The ground training phase is taking place at flyadeal Headquarters in Jeddah from 5 to 9 July 2026, while the simulator phase will be conducted at the Prince Sultan Aviation Academy. Delivering the programme across both locations highlights the effective utilisation of flyadeal’s own facilities alongside the wider Saudia Group training network. This reinforces the airline’s commitment to maximising national training resources, while supporting its continued growth and long-term capability development. As the aviation industry continues to evolve, flyadeal remains focused on strengthening its training foundations and ensuring its instructor pilots are equipped with the latest methodologies used by leading global carriers.
