TrustFlight in Great Britain will provide its electronic tech log, reliability analytics, and fleet oversight tools for Ypsilanti-based global cargo airline Kalitta Air’s fleet of 29 aircraft.
Air cargo operators such as Kalitta Air use tech logs to record airframe usage and discrepancies for internal and regulatory oversight.
As a global standard operating procedure, a log is completed for every flight operation by civilian and military aircraft operators. While most air freight carriers currently utilize paper-based reporting systems, Kalitta Air will deploy TrustFlight’s digital tech log solution.
In addition, Kalitta Air will use TrustFlight’s reliability analytics and fleet oversight tools to gain a real-time analysis of their fleet to optimize maintenance activities.
“Implementing electronic logs enables us to benefit from increased operational efficiencies and maintain our reputation for reliable on-time performance worldwide,” says Christopher Barks, director of quality control and chief inspector for Kalitta Air. “TrustFlight impressed us with the capability and ease of use of their systems alongside their knowledge of maintenance processes.”
“Kalitta Air is a pioneer in air cargo, globally recognized for its long history of success and operational acumen,” says Karl Steeves, director of TrustFlight. “They are well-positioned to transition to all-digital tech log record keeping. We’re proud that they have entrusted TrustFlight for this task.”
