Vietjet inks deal with Lufthansa Technik to digitalize its fleet’s
technical information update process
(Vietjet, Singapore, February 16, 2022) – New-aged carrier Vietjet and Lufthansa Technik today signed an agreement at Singapore Airshow to adopt AVIATAR’s Technical Logbook, the seamless digital pilot-to-maintenance collaboration application.
The application will be equipped on Vietjet’s entire fleet to replace
manual and paper-based process of capturing technical issues during flight and
on ground and improve data quality and speed as well as transparency. AVIATAR’s
Technical Logbook enables completion of flight logbook input and maintenance
pre, during flight, and upon arrival as it is seamlessly integrated in
Vietjet’s maintenance and engineering system. Furthermore, the application’s
advanced features and enhanced back-end capabilities will lead to decreased turnaround
times while increasing fleet’s technical reliability and operational safety.
“Vietjet is our first AVIATAR Technical Logbook customer in Asia
Pacific. The application will not only increase the airline’s efficiency but
also provide a new pool of real-time operational data which allows, for
example, the MCC (Maintenance Control Center) to monitor and approve data
flows,” explained Zang Thio, Vice President Corporate Sales Southeast Asia and
Indian Subcontinent at Lufthansa Technik. “Our solution is making a strong case
as a second generation ETLB solution and we are proud that Vietjet will join us
as a pioneer in Asia Pacific.”
Vietjet has digitalized its operation with new aviation applications to
support fleet maintenance and optimization for its entire fleet with up to
1,200,000 hours of safe operation, with on-time performance reaching over 90%
and technical reliability standing at 99.64%. Vietjet has received the highest
safety ranking of 7 stars by AirlineRatings since 2018 and hailed as one of top
10 safest and best low-cost airlines in the world.
Vietjet Vice President in charge of technical and maintenance, Nguyen
Duc Thinh, said: “We are pleased to cooperate with Lufthansa Technik to further
apply new technology in Vietjet’s operation. This is another milestone in our
digitalization revolution from cockpit to maintenance and to be expanded to all
company sectors. The technical logbook will also help reduce environmental
footprint as Vietjet looks to become a green and sustainable airline.”
AVIATAR is the independent platform for digital products and services
developed by Lufthansa Technik. The platform offers its users digital solutions
ranging from predictive maintenance to automated fulfillment solutions.
Vietjet operates a comprehensive network in Vietnam and Asia Pacific.
Weathering through the pandemic, the airline has resumed its domestic flight
network and operated a series of international flights from and to Vietnam
while looking to further expand operations across continents in the near
future.
