Fuji Dream Airlines, a prominent Japanese regional airline, has joined forces with IBS Software, a global leader in SaaS solutions for the travel sector, to embark on a journey of modernization. This partnership marks a significant milestone as Fuji Dream Airlines transitions its operations to a cloud-based platform, powered by AWS. This move signifies a commitment to embracing cutting-edge aviation technology and leveraging the power of cloud innovation.
The shift from Fuji Dream Airlines’ previous on-premises Tokyo data center to the AWS cloud, facilitated by IBS Software, brings a plethora of benefits. The robust public cloud infrastructure of AWS, with its multiple availability zones in the region, ensures improved availability, reliability, and business continuity. This transition also allows for dynamic resource scalability, enabling Fuji Dream Airlines to seamlessly adjust to fluctuating operational demands. The cloud environment further facilitates central monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) and proactive issue management, ensuring smoother operations.
The enhanced performance and responsiveness achieved through this migration will allow Fuji Dream Airlines to maintain timely services, while simultaneously reducing operational expenses. This strategic move demonstrates a commitment to delivering exceptional passenger experiences and maintaining a competitive edge in the dynamic aviation industry.
IBS Software’s Aviation Operations Solutions (AOS) team executed the migration with remarkable efficiency, completing the entire process within 48 hours without any operational interruptions. This underscores the team’s expertise and commitment to seamless transitions.
Mr. Satoshi Unno, General Manager, Flight Operation Department, Fuji Dream Airlines, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “IBS Software’s commitment to excellence and expertise has played a pivotal role in ensuring a seamless migration process. We eagerly anticipate harnessing the advantages of cloud nativity to elevate our operations and provide extraordinary experiences for our passengers. It’s a pleasure to embark on this journey with a partner who shares our unwavering passion for innovation.”
Julian Fish, IBS Software’s Senior Vice President & Head of Aviation Operations Solutions, highlighted the company’s commitment to cloud-based solutions: “At IBS Software, we are actively working to phase out our physical data centers, as we transition our infrastructure towards public cloud. With these steps, not only will we enhance operational efficiency for our customers, but we will have a positive impact on the individual passenger.” He emphasized the company’s commitment to empowering airlines through cloud-native delivery and collaborative partnerships: “Through cloud native delivery and collaborations, IBS Software equips airlines to focus on their customers, while we handle the maze-like complexity of aviation technology ecosystems.”
This strategic partnership between Fuji Dream Airlines and IBS Software demonstrates a commitment to embracing cutting-edge technology and enhancing operational efficiency in the aviation industry. The migration to the cloud represents a significant step towards a future of improved service delivery and a more sustainable and customer-centric approach to airline operations.
