PAL Airlines: one solution across the entire company
For more than four decades, PAL Airlines has played a vital role in linking communities throughout Atlantic and Eastern Canada. To support its growth and maintain high standards of safety and compliance, the company adopted Web Manuals, an all-in-one document management system. It has been a game changer ever since.
Handling the challenges of growth and the rising complexity of regulatory requirements and aviation documentation
For years, PAL managed manuals through a patchwork of tools and processes. While the team built strong procedures, revisions and updates often consumed significant time and effort.
Document complexity
“As a company, we built up some great processes with great people, but it always took a lot of time to stay on top of all the document management. It was hard to find a solution that would tie everything together.”
Compliance challenges
“There’s a multitude of regulatory bodies that you deal with in an airline across different countries, different jurisdictions of aviation authorities, and they all make changes every day.”
Manual reviews
“Going through the document review process used to take us about two days to review all regulations, consuming a multitude of hours of effort from many people in a boardroom.”
Operational ease
Web Manuals “is a very user-friendly solution. It’s easy to use. Everyone has been very happy with the implementation and being able to have their documents right at their fingertips.”
Proactive updates
“The beauty of Web Manuals is that we’re notified of those changes in most cases.”
Streamlined compliance
“…and now we’re simply notified when we come into work in the morning. You can see the change and implement it fairly quickly.”
Time is money in aviation.Our passengers expect safe, comfortable, and on-time flights. With Web Manuals, we saw major efficiency gains in our operations center, praised by both frontline and operations staff.”
