Comply365 Supporting Charter & Cargo Carrier’s Record Growth

Beloit, WI – DEC. 20, 2023 – Aviation software leader Comply365 is pleased to announce its newest implemented customer, GlobalX, which is leveraging Comply365’s end-to-end authoring, distribution, and compliance management solution to deliver smart content to its frontline crews.

Miami-based GlobalX, a high-growth domestic and international hybrid charter/cargo airline, selected Comply365’s ProAuthor to have more control over the carrier’s Airbus and company manuals and more efficiently create and deliver smart content to its flight crews as it continuously adds new aircraft and crew members.

GlobalX recorded record flight activity this summer – an 81-percent increase over the third quarter of 2022 – and with that ongoing growth came the need to speed up its processes and increase its agility in managing its operational manuals and documents.

“We needed a solution to rapidly produce our manuals and streamline our distribution to our end users,” said John Coomes, Vice President and Director of Operations at GlobalX. “Based on my previous experience with Comply365, I knew it was the right partner and solution to scale with us. The team at Comply365 has been phenomenal at setting us up for success, and the app is so user friendly that training our team has gone really smoothly.”

As GlobalX onboards new aircraft, ProAuthor will enable faster, more routine manual revisions and help the airline remain audit ready. Comply365’s mobile app will automate compliance tracking for the airline’s users and electronic forms will provide frontline employees with an easy way to send information from the field to the operations staff, to enable data-driven decisions.

GlobalX joins a community of more than 90 global customers, from start-up airlines to the world’s most mature carriers, from ultra low-cost to full-service airlines, charter operators, cargo airlines, business aviation, ACMI and wet-lease operators, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), flight training and rail operations.

“GlobalX has been a wonderful partner to join our Comply365 community, and I’m pleased to see their excitement in implementing our solution,” Comply365 CEO Tom Samuel said. “We are thrilled to support the record growth unfolding at GlobalX with a platform that’s bringing increased efficiency and compliance to their operation and an enjoyable user experience for their flight crews.”

Beloit, WI – NOV. 2, 2023 – Aviation-software leader Comply365 is pleased to announce its mobile platform will enable Asia Pacific Airlines – a cargo airline that transports emergency relief supplies, US Mail, live animals and other important cargo – to better manage and deliver mission-critical content to its flight crews.

Asia Pacific Airlines, headquartered in Guam, specializes in air cargo services throughout the Pacific region, often delivering critical supplies and relief efforts during times of crisis with a fleet of Boeing 757s. The all-cargo jet service needed a better way to manage and update its operational manuals and track compliance in its EFB (Electronic Flight Bag).

“We serve many small island nations where the remote locations create unique challenges for air cargo transportation, and we needed a reliable solution that would bring more sophistication and efficiency to our EFB,” said Adam Ferguson, President at Asia Pacific Airlines. “Comply365 will reduce our manual processes, enabling us to better manage and deliver the information our crews need and seamlessly track our read and signs.”

Using Comply365’s app, crew members will be able to review their most up-to-date operational content more accurately and quickly, even in the most remote locations. The cargo carrier also will be able to deliver content and personalized notifications based on roles and locations and drive higher rates of compliance with reporting insights.

Asia Pacific Airlines joins multiple cargo airlines among Comply365’s more than 90 global customers, from start-up airlines to the world’s largest carriers, from ultra low-cost to full-service airlines, charter operators, business aviation, ACMI and wet-lease operators, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), flight training and rail operations.

“I’m happy to welcome Asia Pacific Airways as the newest member of our Comply365 community, which continues to grow in the Asia-Pacific region,” Comply365 CEO Tom Samuel said. “We’re excited to bring a great mobile experience to Asia Pacific’s crews, and we’re proud to support the valuable services they provide, especially in times of vital need.”

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Carrier Marks First Latin American Customer for Comply365

Beloit, WI – OCT. 11, 2023 – Avianca, one of the largest air transportation groups in Latin America, will transform its document authoring and compliance management processes across its multiple airlines into Comply365’s single, end-to-end authoring and distribution platform and mobile app.

Comply365 is pleased to announce the Avianca Group of airlines will implement ProAuthor to author and manage its Airbus, Boeing and company manuals across all its departments to streamline and centralize its processes. The move will help increase safety and bring great operational efficiencies to the airline while providing crews with more consistent and up-to-date information.

As a network of pan-Latin American airlines serving over 140 routes with more than 2,000 weekly flights, Avianca’s goal of being an airline for everyone attracted close to 24.6 million passengers last year.

Avianca is the second-oldest continually operating airline in the world. The Bogotá-based group of airlines flies a mixed fleet of 130 aircraft.

“We are honored to partner with such a longstanding, reputable brand in aviation. We look forward to enabling their teams with a system to increase safety, efficiency, and provide a better mobile experience for their end users,” Comply365 Chief Commercial Officer Sergio Ramos said. “Avianca marks Comply365’s first customer in Latin America, and we’re excited about the value we can bring to airlines in the region.”

Comply365’s ProAuthor will offer Avianca the opportunity to centralize its documentation across its airlines to reduce labor-intensive, inefficient and time-consuming authoring workflows while improving compliance processes and streamlining reporting.

Using the Comply365 mobile app, crews in Flight Operations, Maintenance, Ground Handling, Security and other departments will have access anytime, anywhere to the most current content – with the ability to easily see what is new. Global searching will enable them to easily find what they need across all their manuals, and they will be able to create bookmarks and annotations that stick with their documents even as new versions are released.

Avianca joins more than 90 global aircraft operators relying on Comply365’s operational content and compliance management platform, from start-up airlines to the world’s largest carriers, as well as cargo, business, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), flight training and rail operations.

“It’s exciting to welcome an airline with such a storied history as Avianca into our customer community,” Comply365 Chief Executive Officer Tom Samuel said. “We are proud to support Avianca’s vision to lead air travel within the highly competitive Latin American air transportation market, and we look forward to celebrating Avianca’s continued success with the value our solutions will bring.”
