PROJECT OVERVIEW - BEST PRACTICES - FLIGHT OPERATIONS
What could Airsource Partners do to make aviation expertise more accessible to all?
We have conceived the first aviation –related online expert knowledge service connecting actors of the air transport industry with the outside expert world.
BEST PRACTICES - FLIGHT OPERATIONS
PROJECT STATUS : ACTIVE
LAUNCH DATE : FEB 2014
PRIMARY TARGET : Airlines
PROJECT FUNCTIONAL AREA : Network Planning & Flight Operations, Information Technology
PROJECT FOCUS : Flight Operations
PROJECT SPONSOR : Airsource Partners
Project Summary
Preparing and moving aircraft, crew, cargo, passenger and baggage between one point and another is no obvious task, as any airline will tell you. The Flight Operations department ultimately holds the overall responsibility of operating the airline’s fleet in the most efficient way.
Flight Operations experts selected from Airsource Partners’ aviation expertise marketplace will help you implement a set of Best Practices in the area Flight Operations.
Project Description
A best practice is a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark. In addition, a "best" practice can evolve to become better as improvements are discovered. Best practice is considered by some as a business buzzword, used to describe the process of developing and following a standard way of doing things that multiple organizations can use.
Best practices are used to maintain quality as an alternative to mandatory legislated standards and can be based on self-assessment or benchmarking.
The airline industry is a major field of application for Best Practices. A key strategic talent required when applying best practice to airlines is the ability to balance the unique qualities of an airline with the practices that it has in common with others.
All experts retained by Airsource Partners for this type of project have previous hands-on experience of flight operations acquired at various airlines during their previous professional tenures. They will help you implement best of breed practices to support end-to-end flight operation needs such as:
=> Movement Control
=> Flight Planning
=> Aircraft Situation Display / Flight Tracking
=> Load Planning
=> Aircraft Datalink Communications
=> Irregular Operations
