Air India to induct Coruson for end-to-end safety management across operations

To further improve end-to-end safety management, including real-time information, reporting, and status of in-flight incidents, Air India, the largest airline in India and a Star Alliance member, has chosen Ideagen’s enterprise cloud software solution, Coruson, with its UK headquarters.

The safety data software application, which will be online with effect from May 1, 2023, will weed out the requirement of paperwork to a large extent and ensure automated processes relay critical information to key personnel and authorities without delay. This will also lead to timely action. Air India is separately engaged in procuring iPads for pilots and crew members and when introduced, Coruson will also be available on these devices as well.

Air India has always been according top priority for the safety of its passengers and crew, and this tie-up with Coruson is another step in that direction.

Ideagen software covers all aspects of risk, giving the airline full visibility of safety data from maintenance of the aircraft through to cabin crew checks on board. It will provide Air India with complete visibility across the airline’s entire organization, allowing it to access the latest data and use this to spot and mitigate potential risks, thereby enhancing the safety of operations.

Ideagen’s customer base of more than 11,400 includes more than 250 airlines and all of the top aerospace and defense companies including respected brands such as British Airways, Emirates, Boeing, Airbus, BAE, and the US Navy.

PIA Reinstates Manchester and Paris Routes After EU Ban Lift

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced plans to resume flights to Europe starting in January, beginning with Paris as its first destination.

The decision follows the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) removal of a long-standing ban on the airline. PIA’s inaugural flight to Paris is scheduled for January 10, with bookings opening on December 9.

In an official statement, PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan confirmed that the first flight schedule has been approved, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s recovery efforts. The EU ban had previously cost PIA approximately Rs40 billion ($144 million) annually in lost revenue, compounding its financial struggles.

With European operations restarting, PIA is now setting its sights on the United Kingdom. The airline plans to seek approval from the UK Department for Transport (DfT) to resume flights to major British cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
