 "Vistara ropes in Ultramain System for electronic logbook software")
Full-service carrier Vistara on Monday said it has selected Ultramain System for providing electronic logbook software as the airline looks to go paperless in its operations.
Ultramain Systems' electronic logbook software ELB replaces paper-based processes while offering comprehensive functionality and innovative features to help make airlines' operations seamless, according to a statement.
Ultramain ELB will fully replace aircraft paper technical log, cabin log, journey log, damage log, and fuelling log, providing a validated electronic Certificate of Release to Service (e-CRS) on flights operated by Vistara, the Tata-SIA joint venture airline said in the statement.
The ELB application will be used by flight and cabin crew and engineers on iOS devices to provide integrated workflows with Vistara's maintenance and operational systems, it said.
Vistara said it is seeking necessary approvals from relevant authorities before fully integrating this solution across its operations.
Vistara will become the first Indian airline to introduce an e-tech logbook solution and go paperless in its operations, the airline said.
