Disruption costs airlines billions of dollars each year in extra fuel, maintenance, crew, and compensation expenses. With extreme weather events on the rise, the industry must learn to navigate these events with minimal impact on customers and operations.
Turkish Airlines is tackling disruption with a new situational awareness and disruption management solution for airline operations control centres (OCCs).
The tool, CAE’s Unified Task Board promotes strategic decision making by integrating data from across multiple systems into a single view. It also auto-calculates disruption scenarios varying from common to complex day-of-operations issues to facilitate prompt disruption resolution.
The Turkish flag-carrier has also opted for CAE’s next-generation Crew Management product which “boosts crew productivity, optimises efficiency, and resolves disruptions when time is of the essence.”
Speaking on the announcement, Ahmet Acar, Senior Vice President of crew Planning at Turkish Airlines said:
“We are committed to maintaining our competitive edge and delivering the high-quality travel experience our guests rely on with Turkish Airlines. To achieve this, we continuously seek innovative solutions to enhance our operations. Building on the success of CAE’s Flight Management software, we are excited to move forward with the integration of the company’s Crew Management software and Unified Task Board. We are confident these solutions will increase efficiencies, reduce disruptions for our guests, allow faster disruption recovery, and create an even better working environment for our crew.
