⎯ Five-year contract for entire all-Airbus fleet
⎯ Entry-into-service planned this year

Amsterdam, 4 June 2024 – Portugal’s flag carrier, TAP Air Portugal, has chosen NAVBLUE’s Mission+ FLIGHT and Flysmart+ solutions, which will support their evolving Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) requirements for a more integrated and connected digital Flight Operations environment.

TAP Air Portugal, that has been using NAVBLUE solutions since 2020, will now increase operational efficiency with Mission+ FLIGHT, the integrated electronic flight folder module of Mission+, NAVBLUE’s Electronic Flight Assistant, while reducing crew workload for pre-flight, inflight and post-flight performance computations with Flysmart+.

Mission+ FLIGHT is the integrated electronic flight folder module for mission management that provides briefing packages, flight follow-up and reporting capabilities to pilots.

The solution manages the data workflow between the Integrated Operations Centre (IOC) systems and the crew’s application on the flight deck. It also allows to monitor and archive all the exchanged mission data such as flight acceptance and post flight reports.

Mission+ Flight increases efficiency reducing manual entries and risk of errors and enhances pilot’s situational awareness while reducing their workload. Before and during flight, the solution provides briefing packages automatically on pilots’, operations team’s and dispatchers’ tablets.

It is also compatible with FOMAX Aircraft Interface Device, a Flight Operations & Maintenance Exchanger currently equipped across parts of TAP’s fleet, that allows automatic retrieval of mission critical information overhead at each waypoint in the Mission+ FLIGHT Navlog.

Flysmart+, NAVBLUE’s aircraft performance and Weight & Balance calculation tool, is integrated with Mission+ FLIGHT;

● Launch buttons for all modules directly from Mission+ FLIGHT;
● Data communications between both solutions, allowing automatic retrieval of information from Mission+ FLIGHT to Flysmart+, such as departure and arrival airports, aircraft type,
or registration number.

Marc Lemeilleur, CEO of NAVBLUE, says: “TAP Air Portugal was looking for a truly integrated and connected EFB environment to support their pilots’ mission management activities in terms of Ground to Air solutions. Our solutions will provide TAP Air Portugal pilots with better situational awareness, reducing their workload and manual entries, making their journey seamless while improving operational efficiency and safety of the airline”.

Mário Bento, TAP Air Portugal Flight Operations Director, says: “With the adoption of NAVBLUE’s state-of-the-art EFB solutions, we aim to improve the pilot experience, streamline workflow in the cockpit to optimise flight management and take advantage of aircraft connectivity to foster better communication and coordination with our operational departments. This crucial step aligns with our commitment to digital transformation and sustainability, driving us towards a more innovative and ecofriendly future in aviation.”

Founded in March 1945, TAP Air Portugal is the flag carrier of Portugal, part of Star Alliance, and operates a fleet of 81 aircraft, all Airbus (A319, A320, A321, A330). The airline serves a complex network of routes on around 80 destinations in Europe, Americas and Africa.

TrustFlight Ltd. (TrustFlight), a technology innovator focused on digitization of the aviation industry, today announced the integration of FL3XX, the complete aviation management solution for sales, dispatch, crew, maintenance, reports, and management, into its industry-leading Electronic Tech Log (ETL) solution. The integration, enabled by TrustFlight’s Integration Platform, will ingest FL3XX flight data including flight, passenger, and crew information, directly into TrustFlight’s ELB to eliminate time-consuming data entry and associated errors.

“TrustFlight was founded on three principles—increasing safety, reducing risk, and ensuring compliance,” said Karl Steeves, CEO, TrustFlight. “With the integration of FL3XX, we’ve made the Electronic Logbook (ELB) process even easier so pilots can skip the manual entry and focus on flying. Additionally, operators can be certain that there are no journey log errors or overruns on duty, so compliance requirements are always met.”

With the integration, information already entered in FL3XX will populate in TrustFlight’s Electronic Logbook (ELB), reducing pilot workload by auto-completing required fields with readily available data. Additionally, as soon as onboard documents are completed by the flight crew, they’re immediately available to the operations team with bi-directional syncing. When the flight is completed, actual takeoff and landing times, crew duty times, or details of fuel usage are automatically exported into FL3XX. The integration ensures that aircraft records are kept up-to-date and accurate, which is often a challenge for operators running disparate systems across their organisation.

“We’re excited to continue our relationship with TrustFlight,” said Paolo Sommariva, CEO, FL3XX. “We have already worked with TrustFlight on creating an integration for their Safety Management System, TrustFlight Centrik, and the integration with their Electronic Tech Log (ETL) is a welcome addition for our global user base.”

⎯ More than 17,000 pilots are now using Mission+ as part of their workflow on an average of more than 4,000 daily Delta flights
⎯ One of the biggest Electronic Flight Folder (eFF) projects in the aviation industry

Toulouse, France, 27 February 2024 – NAVBLUE and Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) have signed a long-term agreement for Mission+, NAVBLUE’s Electronic Flight Assistant, which provides pilots with all the data and information they need to perform their mission via one modular digital solution.

The agreement includes the deployment of Mission+ on the global airline’s entire fleet of over 900 Airbus and Boeing aircraft and represents one of the biggest transitions from paper to an Electronic Flight Folder (eFF) digital solution in the aviation industry. In addition, NAVBLUE and Delta will work on further enhancing the application for pilots by adding new functionalities.

Delta has been involved in the development of Mission+ since its inception. This digital solution is now considered the most intuitive eFF on the market that minimizes pilot interactions. Delta has also been part of the early adopter program, together with other major airlines from different regions and with diverse types of operations. The airline provided feedback to build a tool adapted to pilots’ tasks for mission management in all flight phases (briefing, in-flight follow-up, reporting).

The agreement between Delta and NAVBLUE considers the airline’s requirements and community-driven needs. As a scalable and reliable solution, Mission+ FLIGHT, the integrated flight folder module of Mission+, is seamlessly integrated with its existing ground environment ensuring business continuity.

The full implementation process across Delta’s fleet has been achieved in less than two years, covering deployment, testing, and operational usage by the airline’s entire pilot community (more than 17,000 pilots), who are now using Mission+.

Mission+ removes the need to print paper flight plan information for every Delta flight, which represents saving more than 77.5 million pages annually (or around 4,000 trees), further supporting Delta’s ongoing efforts to embed sustainability across its business.

Marc Lemeilleur, CEO of NAVBLUE said: “On behalf of the NAVBLUE teams, I would like to thank Delta for their trust in this product and our people. By choosing Mission+ they are enabling their pilots to benefit from all the data and information they need to perform their mission via a unique modular digital solution. Working together we enabled the deployment of Mission+ on the entire fleet in less than two years, which is a great success for all of us!“

Ryan Gumm, Flight Operations Senior Vice President of Delta, said: “Achieving this major milestone is part of our commitment to removing operational complexities, as well as moving toward a more digital, sustainable future. Mission+ allows our pilots more time to focus on what Delta people do best – expertly serve our customers with safety top of mind.”
