IndiGo, India’s leading low-cost airline, has taken a significant step towards digital transformation by introducing the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF) on the eve of Independence Day. This innovative initiative replaces traditional paper-based processes with Aviobook, an iPad-based application that provides pilots with instant access to critical flight information.
The EFF, powered by Aviobook, enables pilots to access real-time weather conditions, flight plans, and operational directives, significantly streamlining pre-flight procedures. This digital transition not only enhances safety and operational efficiency but also aligns with IndiGo’s commitment to environmental sustainability by eliminating the need for paper.
By shifting to a digital platform, IndiGo aims to improve punctuality and enhance readiness for weather-related challenges. The airline believes that the EFF will empower pilots to make better-informed decisions, leading to smoother operations and a safer flying experience.
Capt. Ashim Mittra, Senior Vice President – Flight Operations at IndiGo, expressed his enthusiasm about the launch, stating, “We are thrilled to be the first airline in India to use the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF). The implementation of EFF marks a significant milestone in our journey towards digital transformation and a paperless cockpit. Our pilots will now have access to real-time information and tools that will enable them to make better-informed decisions, streamline operations, and contribute to our sustainability goals. I would like to extend my gratitude to the DGCA, Aviobook, and all the teams who have worked tirelessly on this project to make it a reality.”
IndiGo’s adoption of the EFF signifies its unwavering commitment to leading the way in aviation technology. The airline believes that by embracing cutting-edge technology, it can ensure that air travel becomes not only safer but also more efficient and environmentally responsible.
