Viva Aerobus to Digitise Aircraft Records with flydocs
Staffordshire UK – 14 April 2021
Viva Aerobus, Mexico´s ultra-low-cost carrier, recently signed a deal with flydocs to digitise maintenance records for its fleet of 47 aircraft.
Through the three-year agreement, Viva Aerobus is expected to benefit from full digital aircraft compliance on-demand by taking advantage of the flydocs® platform’s enhanced integration with leading M&E software AMOS.
Last year we committed to becoming the greenest airline in Mexico as sustainability is at the heart of our operational strategy. Our partnership with flydocs will undoubtedly add value and strengthen those efforts by allowing us to utilise digital technology to drive a paperless approach to our maintenance records. As the first airline in the Americas to resume 100% of its operational capacity in such a challenging climate, we are optimistic that the team at flydocs and the platform’s unique integration with AMOS will help us maintain our resilience and adaptability as we continue to propel Mexico’s air travel industry in a safe and responsible way.
“We are very delighted and proud to have our very first client in Central America which is a huge milestone for us. This is just another example of how our industry is experiencing a real mindset shift when we consider the increased rate of technology adoption. Viva Aerobus have always stood out as a champion for digital innovation which is also sustainable, so our partnership felt very natural with our aligned ambitions. We strongly believe that the solutions we are providing for Viva and soon the region at large will last long beyond the pandemic, resulting in improved efficiency, better communication, and transparent data. This is an exciting start to what I’m sure will be a long and rewarding collaboration with the team at Viva Aerobus.”
