Reduce your Airline's Teletype B Communication Costs 

TELETYPE B COMMUNICATION COST REDUCTION PROJECT

A communication system inherited from the past, TELETYPE B messaging  generates high costs at many airlines while it could be replaced in most cases by more modern and cost-effective technology.

Airsource Partners helps airlines save on their TELETYPE B communication costs while improving the productivity of their messaging system.

The messaging infrastructure observed at most airlines today is the result of decades of successive enhancements, changes, replacements or deletions which for the most part have taken place with no clear communication strategy as a backbone.
 
The volume of TELETYPE B messaging has increased dramatically over the years due to factors such as security mandates, increased passenger data, and so on. TELETYPE B expenses have increased proportionally as well to represent today a large part of any airline's IT costs often left under no scrutiny -let alone control - whatsoever.

Airsource Partners’ airlines and communication specialists help airlines comprehend and proficiently manage all TELETYPE B messaging-related issues. The airline’s communication infrastructure and processes are thoroughly reviewed. IDENTIFIED SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES ARE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED AND IMPLEMENTED WITH A POSITIVE IMPACT ON EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY.

Airsource Partners’ experts work in close cooperation with the airline management and IT teams. They start their investigation with a thorough analysis of the airline’s messaging/communication strategy. The airline’s communication infrastructure, from its origins to the present days, is analysed in detail. Airsource Partners’ experts pursue their audit with a detailed and documented analysis of the past and present TELETYPE B traffic (volumes) to identify areas of improvement and potential savings.

Savings can be achieved through an efficient and rigorous use of today’s technology. In a related effort, Airsource Partners’ communication experts audit the applications used to generate TELETYPE B traffic - clients and third parties - with the aim to optimize the airline's current processes and infrastructure (are we not sending too many Type B messages, too many people, and/or with the right priority, etc .. ?).

A written report containing quick and easy-to-implement recommendations is submitted to the airline at the conclusion of the project and discussed with the airline’s management team. Upon request Airsource Partners’ experts can assist the airline in the implementation of the retained recommendations.
  

This Project is conducted by Airsource Partners in cooperation with KAZA IT services from Cyprus. 

A TELETYPE B AUTOMATED MESSAGE PROCESSOR proposed by Luxemburg-based EDIfly,  another member of Airsource Partners' Aviation Expertise Marketplace, can be proposed and implemented at any time as a complement to the Project (see separate "Message Broker Solution Project").

The tool proposed by EDIfly is the perfect solution for storing, routing and parsing all type B messages. The philosophy of the application is to centralize in a data base all messages of interest of the airline, instead of having the information spread in many computers. Authorized employees are easily aware of all information exchanged even if they are not recipients of the initial messages. As a result, productivity is further improved leading to additional savings. Smoother operations pave the way also to increased operational safety.
