(20/08/24) IndiGo has enhanced operations with the
implementation of
Aviobook, an
Electronic Flight Folder (EFF) from Thales.
The iPad-based application, developed by pilots, replaces traditional paper
processes and provides pilots with real-time access to critical
flight information, including weather updates, flight plans, and
operational notices.
This transition to a digital platform not
only reduces the environmental impact by eliminating paper use but
also streamlines pre-flight preparations, enabling better on-time
performance and enhanced weather preparation.

Key benefits
and features of the Aviobook EFF, include:
– Pilots currently handle up to 50-60 sheets
of paper per flight. Digitizing operational flight documents will
significantly reduce pre-flight preparation time and enable more
efficient flight planning and operations;
– The transition
towards a paperless cockpit will save over 20 million pages of
paper each year and enable better fuel management contributing to lower carbon
emissions, reinforcing IndiGo’s commitment to sustainability and
operational excellence;
– Aviobook
facilitates seamless communication between pilots and operations
control. Real-time updates of flight documentation and the ability
to share crucial information like weather and fuel instantly will
enhance responsiveness to dynamic situations, ensuring smoother
operations and better decision-making; and
– Aviobook empowers
pilots with advanced tools and information at their fingertips.
It’s user-friendly interface and intuitive design make it easier
to access vital information quickly, allowing pilots to focus more
on flying and less on paper tasks, thereby enhancing overall
operational performance.
“We are thrilled to be the first airline in India to
use the Electronic Flight Folder (EFF),” said Capt.
Ashim Mittra, Senior Vice President – Flight Operations, IndiGo. “The implementation of EFF
marks a significant milestone in our journey towards digital
transformation and a paperless cockpit. Our pilots will now have
access to real-time information and tools that will enable them to
make better-informed decisions, streamline operations, and
contribute to our sustainability goals. I would like to extend my
gratitude to the DGCA, Aviobook, and all the teams who have worked
tirelessly on this project to make it a reality.”
