The world leader in digitized aviation documentation, Web Manuals, is strengthening its South American foothold having signed SKY Airline, a low cost airline with more than 40 destinations in 9 countries within the Americas and the second largest carrier in Chile and Peru.
Under the agreement, Web Manuals will support the airline to streamline the publishing and distributing of its manuals and documents, offering significant cost and time-saving benefits and improving document approval processes before authorities.
José Raúl Vargas, Chief Operating Officer, SKY Airline: “By using this Platform, we aim to enhance the efficiency of our operations by providing all our personnel, especially pilots and maintenance technicians, with access to a document ecosystem. This will allow them to quickly review and edit protocols and manuals, reducing search times for operational information.
“This comes in a context of great growth plans for SKY. We operate a fleet of 32 aircraft and plan to close the year with 36. Likewise, we have a standing order for ten Airbus 321XLRs, which will make us the first operator of this aircraft type in South America. Our ambitious expansion plans require choosing the right partners to streamline our growing operation.”
Krister Genmark, chief commercial officer, Web Manuals: “South America is a key market for us, and we are seeing unprecedented demand for streamlined, efficient and regulation-compliant processes.
“Welcoming SKY Airline to our Web Manuals community is a testament to the quality of our offering and hard work of our team. We look forward to working with the team and helping them make the most of their digital documentation management.”
Web Manuals serves more than 650 customers globally. The South American region has experienced remarkable growth in the last quarter with four new South American and Caribbean customers signing on in just two months, bringing the total to eight South American airline customers.
