PROJECT OVERVIEW - FLIGHT OPERATIONS: THE POWER OF ACARS (AIRCRAFT CONNECTIVITY TECHNOLOGY)
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.
FLIGHT OPERATIONS: THE POWER OF ACARS (AIRCRAFT CONNECTIVITY TECHNOLOGY)
PROJECT STATUS : ACTIVE
LAUNCH DATE : FEB 2015
PRIMARY TARGET : Airlines
PROJECT FUNCTIONAL AREA : Network Planning & Flight Operations, Information Technology
PROJECT FOCUS : Flight Operations, Other
PROJECT SPONSOR : Cyberjet
Project Summary
Aircraft operators are under constant pressure to maintain profitability while improving operations safety and reliability.
AIRCRAFT CONNECTIVITY TECHNOLOGY successfully contributes to the achievement of these objectives. Airsource Partners is partnering with French aviation services provider Cyberjet to propose a proven solution already implemented at more than 25 airlines.

Project Description
The Aircraft Connectivity solution proposed by our partner Cyberjet allows the airline to achieve major savings and improve performance in numerous areas.
Initial Aircraft Connectivity solutions were implemented in the 80’s as a then modern and reliable communication alternative to voice-reliant systems in use in the industry at that time. It has since come a long way to offer today’s commercial airlines and business aviation operators a wealth of benefits.
The Aircraft Connectivity solution proposed by our partner Cyberjet allows the airline to achieve major savings and improve performance in the following areas:
=> MAINTENANCE through real-time fault transmission and automated engine trending
=> CREW payroll and maintenance reserves through perfectly accurate real time collection of essential flight-related data
=> FUEL COSTS, SCHEDULE DISRUPTIONS and DEPARTURE DELAYS through efficient FMS uplink, speedy and accurate, real-time data collection and faster reaction to emergency situations and irregular operations
=> COMMUNICATION COSTS (voice as well as expensive IATA Type B messaging)
=> IMPROVE SAFETY and global ASSET MANAGEMENT through flight following capabilities.
Aircraft Connectivity in general and its most commonly known expression ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System) in particular have become standards in the area of data communication. All modern commercial airliners and most business aviation aircraft come today equipped with hardware devices allowing the most efficient use of aircraft data possible.
Aircraft Connectivity reduces the crew’s workload and improves integrity and speed of data transmission via critical, real-time and automated messaging between the flight crew, Air Traffic Control and the airline’s flight operations and maintenance departments.
An across-the-board Aircraft Connectivity solution will include 3 distinct components:
=> Hardware: equipment mounted on the aircraft and installed on the ground
=> Software: to decode and analyze raw data difficult to understand and
=> Communication network: to transmit data between the ground and the aircraft.
A set of solutions proposed by Cyberjet and ported on iPads and other mobile devices allow operators of aircraft not fitted with ACARS hardware to gain benefit from the Aircraft Connectivity technology.
All proposed Cyberjet solutions are modular, complementary, scalable and quickly expandable over time as the operator’s needs, expectations and financial means evolve. Most important, they are totally independent from the major communication hardware and network providers present in the aviation market.
At the airline’s discretion, Cyberjet’s interventions can be limited to counseling and consulting (audit of the airline’s current solutions, recommendations on ways to improve communication, etc. ).
Airsource Partners will be glad to share more information with you at any time on Aircraft Connectivity Technology in general and the solutions offered by Cyberjet in particular.
