A note from the Aircraft IT Editor:

Among the many things of which people in the sector need to be aware, there is fraud. It might seem a small risk but a recent incident reported by IFS suggests that there is never room for complacency. We are publishing, on their behalf, IFS’s report of the incident that they encountered but Aircraft IT has not been involved in the incident in any way.

Views expressed in the report are not the views of Aircraft IT.

FRAUD ALERT! Fraud incident involving Kalstar Aviation and related parties

Report by IFS.aero

We are issuing this statement to inform our partners, customers, and peers of a recent incident that raises broader concerns for the aviation technology sector.

In April this year, we were approached by individuals claiming to represent Kalstar Aviation. These individuals presented forged corporate documents and what appeared to be a credible business proposal involving new investors and the resumption of operations. They specifically requested that IFS develop a new module in order to allow them to operate in their region, as the data in their current system did not provide the details required for local civil aviation authorization.

Notably, just prior to their contact, we had been approached by a representative of a third-party provider offering a license for their navigation database. The specifications of the data offered by this provider were coincidentally identical to what the fraudulent parties later insisted would be required for their project. The scope of the fraud included among others: a fake website, fake contracts with fake individuals, falsified SWIFT bank transfers, etc.

As a result, we entered into a contractual relationship with the same third-party database provider under what turned out to be false pretenses. We now recognize that these events were connected.

Aviation Software Providers Beware

We have since learned that this is not an isolated case and have subsequently filed a formal police report, and an international investigation is now underway.

We are sharing this openly because trust and transparency are core values of our company and because others deserve to be warned. We view this as an opportunity for improvement, to rethink how leads are sourced, verified, and validated before business agreements are concluded.

This incident highlights a real and growing risk in our industry. As aviation becomes increasingly digital and data-driven, vulnerabilities like these pose serious threats to trust, integrity, and safe business practices. Fraud schemes of this type are becoming more sophisticated, and all companies are at risk of being targeted. Other companies in our field have reported nearly identical fraud attempts, with the same third-party provider repeatedly named as the sole commercial beneficiary in each scenario. We invite you to draw your own conclusions. (e.g. https://write.as/04cg4iopz9f3s.md).

We have engaged in discussions with the third-party data provider in order to prevent similar incidents and hope for an amicable solution. We remain open to dialogue with all parties committed to raising these standards and preventing similar fraud from harming the integrity of our industry in the future.

Sincerely,

International Flight Support, Management Team

A year ago, Volaris began its journey with StorkJet’s FlyGuide application to enhance fuel efficiency through pilot engagement. By leveraging tools that analyze historical flight data and provide actionable insights, FlyGuide has become an integral part of their operations. This article reflects on the remarkable progress achieved over the past year, focusing on key initiatives that have delivered measurable improvements in both operational costs and environmental sustainability.

Reflecting on the Journey: A Year of Progress

After a full year of implementation, the results speak for themselves. The graphic below presents significant improvements, showcasing an impressive 33.7 kg of fuel savings per flight and a total of 3823 tons saved annually when sustained.

Figure 1: Summary of initiatives and savings.

These results were achieved through focused efforts on specific initiatives, with FPC (Flight Path Compliance), Climb, Cruise, Descent Speed and Departure Reduced Flaps emerging as standout use cases.

Use Case 1: FPC Descent Speed – Informed Decisions for Optimal Results

One of the most impactful features of FlyGuide is the Historical Flight tab, where pilots can review their performance post-flight. By analyzing their descent profile and comparing it to the optimum, pilots can clearly see:

• What Mach/IAS they flew at and what was the vertical deviation to the optimal profile
• What was the company policy ECON speed at any given moment of the flight,
• How much fuel/CO2/DOC they saved, and
• How much more they could have saved by optimum, IDLE descent profile

This actionable feedback empowers pilots to adjust their behavior on future flights, creating a cycle of continuous improvement. The ability to visualize both actual and optimal performance has been a key driver of success. For example, in the graph shown, we observe that delayed descent led to speed increase followed by the use of speed brakes and an excessive reduction in speed.

Figure 2: Example of sub-optimum descent

By reviewing these detailed post-flight metrics, pilots can master their descent management techniques. This allows for targeted improvements in future flights, ensuring smoother and more fuel-efficient operations.

The implementation of FlyGuide has yielded significant improvements across the fleet.

Figure 3: Success Rate and DOC improvement for Descent Flight Speed.

For instance:

• Success Rate: Improved from approximately 70% to over 80%
• Direct Operating Cost (DOC): Reduced from 13 kg to just 7 kg per flight

These results are clearly visible in the statistical analysis, showcasing how FlyGuide empowers pilots to make data-driven conclusions that impact fuel efficiency and cost savings.

By combining post-flight insights with actionable recommendations, FlyGuide continues to drive measurable progress in descent management, contributing to both environmental sustainability and operational excellence.

Use Case 2: Departure Reduced Flaps – Small Adjustments, Big Impact

Another initiative that drives fuel efficiency gains is Departure Reduced Flaps. The optimum flap configuration of the take-off performance calculation tool is the one which gives the highest FLEX setting (highest thrust reduction). Often the differences in FLEX between flap settings are marginal. FlyGuide’s Departure tab provides pilots with recommendations for optimal takeoff configurations resulting in the lowest fuel consumption. By processing historical data and aligning with airline targets, the application identifies the most fuel-efficient flap settings for specific runways and intersections.

By accessing the Departure tab within the FlyGuide app for their specific flight, pilots can check recommended flap settings and understand how these configurations impact fuel burn. Cases where selection of lower flap setting results in decrease of FLEX can be disabled in targets or pilots can decide to take higher flap setting if take-off performance calculations show difference in FLEX.

This feature allows pilots to make informed decisions about flap settings, balancing operational safety, maintenance costs and fuel efficiency. For instance, a transition from a high-flap configuration to a low-flap configuration resulted in a reduction of take-off fuel from 216 kg to 202 kg for the same departure runway. This improvement of 14 kg highlights the tangible benefits of implementing the recommended configurations.

Figure 4: Example of fuel consumption improvement for runway 23L.

The progress achieved is further supported by data from the FuelPro tool, a comprehensive analytics platform designed to track and visualize fuel efficiency performance across various initiatives. Over the past year, the success rate for applying the optimal flap configuration has increased from approximately 60% to nearly 80%. This improvement has directly contributed to a decrease in remaining savings from 6.5 kg to 3.7 kg per flight with no change in average engine thrust reduction.

Figure 5: Success Rate and DOC improvement for Departure Reduced Flaps.

This case demonstrates how structured data, actionable insights, and consistent pilot engagement can drive measurable fuel savings and operational improvements.

Conclusion

One year after implementing FlyGuide EFB, the results are clear: pilots are more engaged, fuel efficiency has improved, and the airline is reaping the rewards of data-driven decision-making. By concentrating on broader initiatives like Flight Path Compliance and the Reduction of Flaps during both Departure and Arrival, the airline has achieved measurable progress. These efforts have translated into significant environmental and economic benefits, with the airline managing to save nearly 4,000 tons of fuel annually!

Marco Charles, Director of OCC at Volaris, noted:

“FlyGuide gives our pilots the right insights at the right time, based on Data (facts) and with a fair way of disregarding constraints and limitations effects which are out of Pilots’ control, creating healthy feedback for them and engagement from them. Such feedback and engagement help to prepare safely and efficiently each flight and track their performance over time. The result is clear: measurable fuel savings, flight after flight.”

Looking ahead, FlyGuide aims to continue empowering airlines in their efforts to enhance efficiency and sustainability. With the right tools and a collaborative approach, there is still significant potential for further improvements and savings. The progress achieved so far is just the beginning of a broader journey toward operational excellence.

On April 8–9, 2025, Warsaw became a global meeting point for aviation professionals from Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East. The StorkJet User Group Meeting gathered over 20 airlines managing a combined fleet of nearly 3,000 aircraft.

This two-day forum focused on technology, data analytics, and sustainable aviation. Held at Elektrownia Powiśle — a unique and inspiring venue in the heart of Warsaw — the event brought together industry leaders to explore how innovation and collaboration are shaping the future of operational efficiency.

Day 1: Advanced analytics and new capabilities

The first day focused on presenting the latest developments in one of StorkJet’s core products — FuelPro — along with FuelPro Lab, the company’s most advanced platform for operational data analytics.

FuelPro Lab is a flexible analytical framework that enables airlines to build custom parameters, visualizations, and models using second-by-second QAR data  — using natural language conversation. Whether it’s trajectory comparisons, overburn attribution, or dispatcher-ready dashboards, it allows full control over analytical logic and output. Integrated with BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau, FuelPro Lab supports both everyday decisions and strategic planning.

If you’d like to see how this solution works in practice, we invite you to explore more at our recent webinar recording focused on AI transformation in fuel efficiency.

How can AI transformation in fuel efficiency reshape your work?

The four analytical layers concept within FuelPro were also presented, demonstrating how users can transition from predefined fuel-saving initiatives to fully customized dashboards and reports using the Fuel Efficiency Dashboard.

Among the key product updates showcased during the session were:

• The Alerting Module for automatic  monitoring, detection and notification of operational anomalies. Learn more in the article: How Alerting Module supports proactive decision-making,

• the Emissions Reporting Tool, supporting CORSIA and ETS (EU, UK and Swiss) emissions programs

• and advanced taxi and contingency fuel prediction models, fully integrated with flight planning systems via API.

StorkJet highlighted that the development of both FuelPro and FuelPro Lab is guided by two key pillars: the real-world needs of airline customers and alignment with evolving industry regulations. A recurring theme throughout the event was the importance of tailored solutions, as no single, generic system can address the operational complexities of every airline. That is why flexibility and customization remain at the core of the platform’s design philosophy.

One of the sessions on Day 1 was dedicated to recent developments and the upcoming roadmap of FlyGuide, StorkJet’s in-flight decision support tool. The presentation focused on how FlyGuide enhances situational awareness by delivering phase-specific guidance to pilots — based on performance data, airline SOPs, and statistical benchmarks.

New features showcased included terrain visualization, traffic awareness, and vertical profile charts supporting more intuitive decision-making during climb and descent.

Additionally, FlyGuide now offers post-flight analytics to support performance debriefing, as well as direct feedback tools for pilots and managers. All of these updates reflect a single aim: to help crews apply best practices in real time and close the gap between planning and execution.

A highlight of the day was a case study presented by Jaime Romero Waldhorn, Fuel Efficiency Manager at Wizz Air, who shared how the airline uses statistical taxi fuel prediction and API-based integration to achieve more accurate and efficient flight planning.

The full case study is available here: Improving efficiency of Wizz Air’s taxi fuel planning

Day 2: Performance monitoring and the future of operational data

The second day was dedicated to exploring how data can drive more effective technical monitoring and support smarter operational and environmental decisions.

A key topic was the evolution of AdvancedAPM, StorkJet’s solution for monitoring aircraft and engine performance. Recent developments focused on improving overburn attribution, identifying the root causes of degradation, and integrating precise performance factors into flight planning workflows. New capabilities also included automatic significant day-to-day changes and dedicated modules for evaluating the impact of maintenance actions.

A highlight of the day was a keynote by Prof. Ulrich Schumann from DLR, who shared insights on aviation’s impact on climate change and explained role of contrails.

Next, attention shifted to FlyGuide FPO, a tool supporting tail-specific flight path optimization. The system simulates multiple scenarios for each aircraft and identifies cost-optimal climb, cruise, and descent profiles — based on actual performance, current weather, and operational constraints. Trial results shared during the meeting  included savings achieved and high pilot adoption.

The agenda also featured sessions from industry partners. Flightkeys shared insights on navdata handling and trajectory optimization in complex airspaces. Hinfact presented a proof-of-concept showing how adaptive training, based on real pilot performance and flight data, can improve compliance with fuel initiatives and generate measurable savings. NAV Flight Services showcased their NAVlink system, designed to improve descent performance through optimized wind uplinks and idle factor harmonization across systems.

The day concluded with the Statistical Perspective session, which focused on interpreting performance data in context. Instead of relying on raw metrics, participants explored how energy management, approach techniques, and operational consistency impact descent efficiency.

Final takeaways

User Group Meeting 2025 confirmed that the future of operational efficiency in aviation lies in advanced analytics, process automation, and the intelligent use of data.

FuelPro Lab, FlyGuide FPO, and AdvancedAPM were presented as one of the key enablers of this transformation, providing airlines with customizable tools to turn complex data into meaningful decisions.

The event served as a forum for showcasing innovation and as a space for open exchange and shared learning.

Making Aircraft Maintenance Data Truly Actionable

In the world of aircraft operations, maintenance data is everywhere, logbooks, flight records, work orders, compliance forms, yet too often, it remains underused. This isn’t just inefficient, it’s a missed opportunity.

At MRX Systems, we believe that the true value of maintenance data lies not only in its storage, but in how it’s structured, accessed, and leveraged. Our goal is to turn day-to-day operational data into a strategic asset that helps operators stay compliant, organized, and efficient.

More than compliance – clarity and visibility

Whether you’re managing airworthiness or performing actual maintenance tasks, one of the biggest challenges is keeping track of everything: task deadlines, part replacements, component lifecycles, and documentation. These aren’t just bureaucratic requirements, they directly impact aircraft availability and operational readiness.

MRX Systems provides a unified, cloud-based platform where all this information is centralized, organized, and accessible to everyone involved. This shared environment allows for better communication, fewer errors, and faster decision-making.

Operators can:

• Quickly access aircraft technical status from anywhere
• Monitor upcoming maintenance tasks and inspections
• Maintain digital traceability of all maintenance actions
• Manage documentation and airworthiness records in one place

Whether you’re a Part-145 organization, a CAMO, or an integrated operator handling both, the goal is the same: reduce time spent chasing information, and increase time spent maintaining safety and reliability.

Turning information into operational confidence

In situations where CAMO and MRO work together (or are part of the same structure), MRX Systems bridges the gap by:

• Ensuring shared access to aircraft records
• Reducing redundant data entry between departments
• Supporting better coordination between planning and execution

MRX Systems helps operators make better use of the information they already have, without adding complexity to their processes.

By combining MRO and CAMO functionality in a simple, cloud-native platform, we aim to bring clarity and control to aircraft maintenance, turning everyday operations into a foundation for better decision-making.
