Albuquerque, NM USA – March 25, 2025 – Norse Atlantic Airlines (Norse Atlantic), a Norwegian airline founded in 2021 and specializing in low-cost, long-haul, and direct flights across Europe, the U.S. and Asia, has received Ops Approval from the CAA Norway to operate ULTRAMAIN ELB, and is in live production use of ULTRAMAIN ELB across their Norwegian fleet.

Norse Atlantic selected Ultramain Systems electronic logbook, ULTRAMAIN ELB on iPads, to fully replace the aircraft paper technical log, cabin log, journey log, and fueling logs on their fleet of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

This transition from paper to digital line maintenance operations marks a significant step forward for Norse. Real-time Flight and Cabin Crew reports, selected from ULTRAMAIN ELB’s on-device B787 tailored fault repository, will enable enhanced planning and defect clearance. This will lead to lower deferral rates, increased operational service levels and lower maintenance costs across their Dreamliner fleet.

“ULTRAMAIN ELB is a dream to work with; you have so much control using the fleet dashboard regarding status and history”, said the MOC team at Norse Atlantic Airways.

“Nothing energizes us more than seeing a new customer transition to ULTRAMAIN ELB, said Tim Spears, Vice President of the Onboard Systems division at Ultramain Systems. Norse Atlantic has an all B787 fleet which has enabled us to configure the ELB specifically to that fleet type with a workflow to suit both scheduled and charter operations. The collaboration between the project teams has been excellent leading to an expedient implementation.  We look forward to supporting Norse through their journey and seeing the positive impact ELB has on their business moving forward.”

Veryon Reliability Enhances Fleet Uptime, Optimizes Maintenance Planning, and Reduces Unscheduled Downtime

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (March 25, 2025) — Veryon, a leading provider of information services and software solutions for the aviation industry, today announced the expansion of its comprehensive Diagnostics suite with the launch of Veryon Reliability, an AI-enabled parts predictability, fleet reliability, and reporting products and services solution that helps aircraft operators and OEMs forecast parts and component failures, improve fleet availability, and support proactive maintenance to reduce unscheduled downtime.

A major driver of unscheduled time is parts performance, availability, and failure. Operators are consistently looking for more insights into parts performance, predictive markers, early warnings, and integrated reporting to help optimize maintenance planning, minimize operational disruptions, and improve uptime.

With the launch of Veryon Reliability, formerly known as RCMBT Reliability Decision Support Systems (RDSS), Veryon has now integrated the AI-powered capabilities of its Veryon Diagnostics platform with the advanced decision-support features of RDSS, creating a unified solution. Veryon Reliability leverages proprietary machine-learning algorithms and pattern recognition technology to detect failure trends, predict short-life components, and identify rogue parts before they fail. By enabling operators to take proactive action, the solution reduces the risk of costly disruptions and enhances overall fleet reliability. As part of the Veryon Diagnostics platform, operators can see a comprehensive picture across parts, chronic defects, root causes, and first-time fixes, facilitating predictive analytics and advanced maintenance planning and strategies.

AI-Powered Predictive Insights Drives Tangible Value for Operators

“With Veryon Reliability, we are equipping operators with AI-powered failure predictions, real-time parts forecasting, and automated reliability insights,” said Kris Volrath, Senior Vice President of Product at Veryon. “This expansion represents a significant advancement in our predictive maintenance capabilities, allowing operators to transition from reactive repairs to proactive decision-making that enhances aircraft availability, reduces maintenance costs, and improves operational efficiency.”

Volrath added, “When paired with Veryon Guided Troubleshooting, operators have a fully closed-loop solution for reliability as well as troubleshooting. This combination allows them to rapidly return their aircraft to service in a safe and compliant manner.”

Getting started with Veryon Reliability is a streamlined and proven process. Operators collaborate with Veryon to provide the necessary data, utilizing the same successful implementation framework established with Veryon Diagnostics. With both products now seamlessly integrated, operators benefit from a single data integration that enhances onboarding efficiency, strengthens data security, and delivers connected, actionable insights.

Veryon is the Proven Market Leader in Modernized Aviation Diagnostics

Bethany Little, Chief Executive Officer of Veryon, emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation in aviation maintenance technology. “Veryon Reliability is another milestone in our mission to transform aviation maintenance with intelligent, data-driven solutions,” said Little. “By harnessing AI and automation, we empower operators and their OEMs to make informed, proactive decisions—resulting in safer, more efficient, and cost-effective operations.”
