Implementing an all-in-one flight operations and EFB system brings significant value by enhancing workflows and boosting efficiency.

Operators select skybook to benefit from fully integrated flight data management from pre-flight to post-flight.

With a cutting-edge flight dispatch portal, streamlined electronic flight bag, and robust post-flight data analysis and reports, everything you need is conveniently in one place!

Below is a breakdown of value & benefits you gain from our dispatch and EFB system…

Reduction of paper cost savings

By replacing paper briefings with an EFB app within the flight operations process this has a huge cost saving to low-cost airlines and other airline businesses. With a range of obvious benefits such as reducing aircraft weight, fuel usage, significant cost savings and environmental waste.

Based on a fleet size of 50 aircraft flying 3 sectors each day, below are just some of the cost savings involved; It’s worth noting that each cost saving below is also shown per plane, and any fleet size will benefit from skybook’s added value!

Paper 
Save approximately 9000 sheets of paper a day which equates to £13,140 a year saved (£263 per plane).

Weight
The weight of all that paper would equate to roughly 16,425kg a year (329kg per plane).

Fuel usage
With the reduction of paper weight this could save 3,285kg of fuel a year which saves approx. £28,483 per year (£570 per plane). You can learn more about how else an EFB helps to improve fuel efficiency.

Ink printer usage
A massive reduction in ink usage, with 1095 toner cartridges no longer needed, saving £81,030 a year (£1620 per plane).

Printer maintenance 
Printers require maintenance roughly every 120,000 pages. This would save roughly £6,291 a year (£126 per plane)

Environment
6,570 reams of less paper, means 365 less trees being cut down per year (7 trees per aircraft), which certainly helps an airlines go-green credentials.

 

What are the total savings?

The total savings of going paperless and embracing an integrated EFB system for a fleet size of 50 aircraft is a staggering £128,894 a year (£2578 per plane).

And that doesn't include the thousands of hours saved in time efficiencies!

 

Added value for flight operations

By using skybook aviation cloud, airlines are automating the collation of OFP information within flight dispatch and flight briefing. This means that operators can be more productive with other tasks in flight operations.

The automation of data with skybook leads to many efficiencies, such as:

• Huge time savings and a reductions in workloads
• Less human error (such as picking the wrong briefing information)
• Quicker shared flight data between airline departments
• More likely to improve on-time performance improving the reliability and trustworthiness of the airline
• Always receive the most up-to-date information
• Instantly connect with applications such as sending route data to charting apps
  
  

Benefits of post-flight data analysis

One of the great benefits of using the skybook EFB system is how all the flight data captured is utilised for insightful post-flight analytics.

After all, connecting the workflow of airline flight operations from pre-flight to post-flight, is what makes skybook truly stand out!

Best of all… you can pick and choose the modules that best suits your airlines needs. Such as our post flight data analysis known as Reporting & Analytics. With insights such as:

• Identify which delay codes are causing problems
• The costs of de-icing usage
• Aircraft fuel usage analysis

 

What is unique about the skybook EFB system?

EFB all-in-one solution

There are a range of EFB applications on the market, although what makes skybook really unique is that it is an all-in-one solution that comes complete with a ground dispatch system, totally unique EFB briefing pack, streamlined journey log and full post-flight data capture.

Making use of all the data collection from the pilots EFB, becoming that single point of truth for flight operations.

Some airlines have a separate dispatch system to their EFB provider, this can sometimes result in problems with integration, unreliability and dealing with two different businesses to try and solve issues… headache!

Attentive Customer Relations

We find tha EFB managers are frustrated with other providers due to downtime issues, frustrations with communicating or simply having limitations.

Our 24/7 support team and your dedicated account manager means that it is so easy to speak to us. And because it is an all-in-one EFB system, operators gain instant access to their current flight information and can easily access EFB post-flight data.

Not forgetting that skybook boasts a 99.95% uptime guarantee, and robust IT security, with our dispatch software and electronic flight bag working in total harmony.

EFB user experience

Our customers are detrimental in helping to shape the EFB roadmap, and we host user forums in order to understand what the future industry needs are.

We provide for different types of operations, whether that’s commercial airlines, cargo, charter or private business. By focusing on the pilot’s user experience, we ensure that our EFB app is user friendly and as streamlined as possible.

An effective EFB system should save pilots time, which is why we collaborate closely with pilots, EFB managers, and operations managers to ensure it meets the specific needs of your airline.

Be sure to book a demonstration and let's improve your flight operations with centralized flight data management.
