India’s Akasa Air focuses on flight data analysis
Akasa Air, which describes itself as India’s fastest-growing airline, has partnered with global aviation technology firm CEFA Aviation to integrate its flight animation software (FAS) into the airline’s safety protocols.
The CEFA FAS software, known for its precise 3D animations based on flight recorder data, provides insights into flight events, allowing for more efficient analysis of incidents.
The interface helps simplify complex data, empowering safety teams and investigators to make informed decisions and improve overall flight safety, CEFA says.
“At Akasa Air, our primary goal is to emerge as the world’s leading airline for safety,” said Gaurav Pathak, chief of flight safety at Akasa Air.
“Safety is of utmost importance at Akasa Air and we continuously strive to pursue the highest standards of safety. Partnering with CEFA Aviation aligns with our commitment towards adopting best-in-class solutions to meet global safety standards.
“The Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) program at Akasa Air plays a pivotal role in achieving this aim. Using this technology, traditional email-based de-brief with the crew will be replaced by animated videos generated through CEFA FAS. This transition will enable the crew to engage in more effective self-debriefing sessions”.
“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Akasa Air,” said Dominique Mineo, CEO and founder of CEFA Aviation.
“The integration of our CEFA FAS software into Akasa Air’s operations marks a significant milestone in our commitment to advancing aviation safety globally. By leveraging our cutting-edge technology, Akasa Air will further strengthen its safety protocols, ensuring the highest standards of passenger security.”
Aviation safety in India has seen significant improvements in recent years, driven by increased regulatory oversight and technological advancements.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has implemented stricter safety protocols, and airlines are investing in tools for flight monitoring and data analysis.
Despite the rapid growth of the aviation sector, with India becoming one of the world’s busiest markets, the country has maintained a strong safety record.
