AirAsia renews its confidence in NAVBLUE, signing for a suite of solutions to improve flight operations, and becomes the first Mission+ FLIGHT customer in Malaysia

AirAsia (AXM), the leading low-cost airline in South-East Asia, the largest by fleet size and destinations, has signed an agreement for N-Flight Planning, Mission+ FLIGHT and Flysmart+, three state-of-the-art NAVBLUE solutions which will help the airline digitalise and enhance its flight operations. Air Asia was also part of the Early Adopter Program with Mission+, providing feedback during the development and testing phase as NAVBLUE continues to innovate its next generation platform.

N-Flight Planning, NAVBLUE’s award-winning flight planning solution, has been chosen by AirAsia based on its track record of being one of the safest, most efficient and optimised flight planning applications on the market. The scalability and customisability of N-Flight Planning makes it the ideal choice for AirAsia with its multiple bases of operations throughout the region, each with its own unique operational requirements and scale.

Mission+, NAVBLUE’s Electronic Flight Assistant (EFA), optimises the pilot’s journey from preparation to closure of a flight: this EFA gathers all the information pilots need in one single application on a globe-centric display and reduces their workload, streamlining the flow of information between ground and onboard systems. AirAsia has selected Mission+ FLIGHT, a module of Mission+ for mission management providing briefing packages, flight follow-up and reporting capabilities to pilots. Flysmart+ continues to help the airline to optimise aircraft performance and Weight & Balance calculations, and to ease access to electronic documentation. It is also interfaced with Mission+, allowing quick access to mission information, time savings, and reduced risk of errors.

Through its subsidiaries, AirAsia will implement Mission+ FLIGHT across 6 affiliated airlines and 4 countries in Southeast Asia by the end of this year: Thailand (Thai AirAsia – AIQ and Thai AirAsia X - TAX); Indonesia (Indonesia AirAsia - AWQ); the Philippines (Philippines AirAsia – APQ) and of course Malaysia, with AirAsia Malaysia (AXM) and AirAsia X (XAX).

Marc Lemeilleur, CEO of NAVBLUE said: “AirAsia has been a NAVBLUE customer for almost ten years with N-Flight Planning and we are proud that the airline has decided to expand its NAVBLUE service portfolio today by choosing more of our innovative solutions to digitalise its pilot briefing process. Tailored for our customer and co-designed together, this suite of state-of-the-art solutions will enable AirAsia to really enhance and optimise their operations.”
