First of the three implementations of the innovative safety and quality of airlines system, created in Combis' internal startup, was presented at the Combis Conference.
On Thursday at the Combis Conference, which takes place in Šibenik from 27th to 29th September, was published that leading IT services provider in Croatia, Combis, implemented iFlight solution in the airline company for passenger and cargo transport Trade Air, Mostar airport and Kazakhstan airline company SCAT Airlines.
"We are extremely pleased that we have managed to realize and commercialize the iFlight project. Our biggest challenge was carrying out the first implementation, but we believed that we would be able to skip this obstacle, which eventually came true with the realization of the project at the domestic air carrier Trade Air", commented Marko Radoš and Mario Rudman, creators of the iFlight idea which they developed into a solution in Combis' internal startup - NeoStartup.
iFlight is an innovative IT solution for aircraft which incorporates systems for managing safety and quality in air operators such as airline companies or airports. Using the most modern technologies, iFlight connects multiple systems to a single network and easily enables air operator crew to use security and quality data within the company.
Case study of iFlight implementation at Trade Air company was presented on the second Combis Conference day, together with the customer, Trade Air, which decided to base the entire safety and quality management system on the iFlight solution.
"We had a great desire to simplify the procedures in the system for safety and quality management. Before iFlight, we used numerous tables that were being edited by a large number of people, which restricted system efficiency and increased error probability. The implementation of this system enabled Trade Air an active safety system with status notifications and a detailed insight into safety indicators of flight operations. The system is innovative, user-friendly and meets strict requirements for managing safety of aeronautical industry", said Hrvoje Akmadžić, head of the Department for Safety and Quality at Trade Air.
After Trade Air, the iFlight solution was also implemented outside of Croatia. The second system implementation was realized at Mostar Airport in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for which the iFlight solution will simplify internal procedures of safety management system and enable faster progress in that segment.
The third system implementation was achieved in the Republic of Kazakhstan, in the SCAT Airlines company. SCAT Airlines combines central Asia with Europe, has 17 aircraft in its fleet, and with iFlight solution has established a modern system for safety and quality management and has been aligned with European regulations for air traffic safety.
"Young programmers definitely need support in developing their own projects and solutions, but they also need taking on challenges and approaching the real word of knowledge and work. We believed in the idea and the potential of iFlight from the beginning and I am proud that the solution is recognized not only in the domestic market but also in the region and distant Kazakhstan", said Mladen Maras, Director of Application Development and Integration Division at Combis.
