SmartLynx Airlines, an ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance), cargo and charter operator with a fleet of close to 70 aircraft, is digitalising its cabin issue reporting process in order to enable its maintenance teams to carry out necessary aircraft cabin interior fixes more efficiently and in less time.
SmartLynx flight crews previously used printed cabin defect logs to report issues. Now the operator is implementing the eCabinLog8 platform developed by Conduce, a mobile aviation solutions provider. The system will provide precise details for each defect in the cabin as it is discovered, including specific locations combined with pictures, which enables crews to initiate repairs more rapidly. This more streamlined process can minimise operational disruptions that might arise due to necessary cabin fixes.
“We operate one of the largest and most diverse fleets in the ACMI market, which requires us to come up with advanced solutions to ensure the highest standards of safety, operational efficiency, and quality of our product,” stated Lilija Boltovska, interim chief technical officer at SmartLynx Airlines. “Digital sustainability and paperless operations are among the most emerging and promising areas in today’s aviation industry and are an important focus of SmartLynx.”
Hayley Russell, operations director at Conduce Group added: “SmartLynx has always been a pioneer of paperless operations and was one of the first airlines in the world to fully remove the paper technical logbook with Conduce’s eTechLog8. By adding the fully integrated Cabin Log Application, crews can seamlessly report cabin items for rectification and see the status of the cabin at a glance using the interactive LOPA chart.”
