COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – International Flight Support (IFS) announces that Swiftair, a leading Spanish cargo and passenger operator, has selected the EFBOne platform to standardize and digitize across its diverse fleet, replacing paper-based processes with a fully integrated electronic flight bag (EFB) workflow.

Prior to implementing EFBOne, Swiftair’s flight crews faced a heavy administrative workload. A single flight could require nearly 30 pages of printed reports, in addition to briefing packages containing hundreds of pages, with NOTAMs alone reaching up to 50 pages per sector. Managing multiple paper documents increased workload, slowed operational reporting, and introduced avoidable complexity for flight crews making operational reporting inefficient.

With EFBOne, Swiftair consolidates flight planning, flight scheduling, performance data, charts, and operational reporting into one platform, allowing crews to execute the full flight workflow digitally without switching applications or handling paper. 

During the review phase, Swiftair’s EFB Administrators tested and validated the system’s configuration capabilities, confirming they could independently set up occurrence reporting, workflows, and cockpit layouts in line with the airline’s SOPs. This enables Swiftair to adapt swiftly to operational and regulatory changes, support multiple fleet types, and manage the platform internally without reliance on external support.

“Working with Swiftair from the early stages allowed us to align closely on technical, operational, and regulatory requirements to ensure EFBOne met their specific needs,” said Yuliia Dolko, EFB Expert at International Flight Support. “The SwiftAir team was highly engaged and detail-oriented throughout the project. We are pleased to have them onboard and look forward to a long-term collaboration.”

“For Swiftair, as an operator of a large fleet of different manufacturers and aircraft types, both cargo and passenger, the flexibility and configurability offered by EFBOne is a cornerstone of our business, “ said Miguel Ángel Fernández Ramos, Flight Operations Manager at Swiftair. “It not only digitizes our cockpits and eliminates paper, but it also integrates data from our back-office systems and supports operational analysis, which is essential for a company like Swiftair.”

He added: “The user interface and configuration tool (NEO) are key to increasing flexibility across fleets, reducing training timelines, and supporting scalability and adaptation to changing regulatory requirements in the aviation sector.  Overall, the IFS team has lived up to expectations, providing support at the level expected for large companies in the aeronautical sector.”

StorkJet’s Aircraft Performance Monitoring tool has become one of the key elements in LATAM Airlines’ fleetwide Fuel Efficiency program, helping the airline save an estimated USD 2.5 million annually while reducing almost 8,000 tons of CO₂ emissions.

LATAM decided to take the use of flight data to the next level by partnering with StorkJet. Our team of engineers, specialized in aircraft performance and fuel efficiency, processed the QAR raw data and turned it into insights that enhance fuel planning – helping LATAM translate precision into cost savings and lower emissions.

The main goal of AdvancedAPM is to determine precise performance for each aircraft individually. By comparing the current condition of an aircraft against its factory-new performance, the system enables more accurate flight planning and reduced fuel burn.

AdvancedAPM also provides a breakdown of overall aircraft deterioration, with separate insights for engines and airframes. This information supports maintenance teams in identifying targeted actions that improve efficiency, such as engine washes or surface alignments.

For its Airbus fleet, LATAM has also adopted the Idle Descent module (IDLE Factor). This feature establishes the optimum top of descent, minimizes aerodynamic drag, and reduces engine usage – resulting in smoother, more efficient, glider-like approaches.

Together, these features enable LATAM’s 340 aircraft to fly with greater precision, efficiency, and sustainability by using the right data in the right way.

“It is impressive to see the impact that technology and innovation can achieve when applied with purpose. At LATAM, we are committed to continuing on this path.”

— Roberto Alvo, CEO LATAM Airlines

We are honored to play a role in this ambitious fuel efficiency program which, since 2010, has saved 5.6 million tons of CO₂ making LATAM the most sustainable airline in the Americas*.

Ideagen CEO, Ben Dorks, has today (December 2, 2025) said compliance represents the one domain where autonomous AI will succeed – despite technology insights company Gartner® warning “… over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027.

Speaking at the launch of their own agentic AI platform, Ideagen Mazlan, Ben said: “Autonomous AI will succeed in compliance because failure is measurable, stakes are high and outcomes are binary.

“AI that continuously monitors jurisdictional or industry specific compliance frameworks, detects patterns across thousands of records, raises actions for others to follow, flags gaps before audits, autonomously? That’s agentic. It will literally save lives and is the most transformative shift in protecting people, products and processes we have ever seen.”

Initial piloting has demonstrated significant acceleration in adoption and benefit, in some cases squeezing 30 minute-tasks down to just two minutes. More significantly estimates show that enterprise level implementation that could take a company six to nine months, could be achieved in around 30 days. 

“In the new year, we’ll be adding things like a voice interface so workers on the frontline, who might be in heavy PPE, can just tell Mazlan what’s happened,” said Ben.

“And it’s intuitive, people won’t need to be trained to use it. If we can break down barriers to the adoption of digital solutions, then businesses are operating with better data which in turn results in the safer products and processes and a better return on that investment.” 

Ideagen achieved the highest score for its AI integration in the 2025 Verdantix Green quadrant with Christopher Sayers, Senior Analyst at Verdantix stating: “Businesses seeking efficiency and safety improvements will find benefits in Ideagen’s pervasive use of AI.” 

Ideagen Mazlan was also highlighted in Verdantix’s Future Of AI-Enabled EHS Software Solutions: “These developments signal a broader shift towards AI that is not just assistive but increasingly capable of autonomously managing compliance and safety risks across complex environments.” 

Ben was also quick to stress that Ideagen Mazlan is not a bolt-on solution to increase productivity: “It’s intelligence, built in. Most ‘agentic AI’ isn’t agentic at all – it’s assistive AI with better marketing! AI that accurately answers questions when you ask them? That’s a chatbot. 

“Our agentic AI works on three simple principles: it’s built into Ideagen solutions, it understands your specific industry context and appears naturally throughout your workflows. 

“It knows OSHA, ISO and the legislation in your jurisdiction, it knows your own policies and data then uses this to analyze incidents, identifying risks, automating compliance tasks.

“But crucially, like autopilot technology on planes, we’ve built it to ensure that the power still sits with the human. Final oversight and approval remains with the quality managers and health and safety teams, but Mazlan is autonomously doing the heavy lifting.

“I’ll be honest, we could have gone further, but the world isn’t ready for that yet, agentic AI still needs to earn humanity’s trust before we give it full control. But what it can do to keep workplaces safe, reduce product recalls, keep supply chains moving, prevent harmful contaminants entering food? It’s mind blowing.”
