Date: Tuesday December 9, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
What can be done and how to do it
Airlines and MRO shops are striving to optimize maintenance planning and execution to increase equipment uptime and reduce operating costs. The challenge, however, is that aircraft frequently require unscheduled maintenance--service that occurs outside regular maintenance programs.
How can airlines and MRO shops prepare for the unexpected?
- Plan and execute unscheduled maintenance
- Ensure that aircraft information is accurate and relevant
- Improve compliance and safety
In this free webcast, you'll learn from industry experts about how to improve maintenance efficiency, asset performance, compliance and safety by creating a seamless flow of information across service planning, inventory management and execution systems.

Passenger self-service trends and adoption
|
Date: Tuesday October 7, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
In this free webcast, we will share the findings of the 2008 Passenger Self-Service Survey conducted by SITA and Air Transport World. In its third edition, this annual survey interviewed over 2,000 passengers at the gates of 6 of the world leading airports:
- Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson airport
- Paris Charles de Gaulle International airport
- Mumbai International airport
- Johannesburg International airport
- Sao Paulo Guarulhos International airport
- Moscow Domodedovo International airport
This survey gives a unique snapshot of the adoptions of "self-service" technologies through the measure of "actual" usage by passengers. Moreover, it gives an interesting insight into passengers preferences and willingness to use technology throughout their travel experience in the future.
What needs to be done to increase passenger adoption while delivering the expected return-on-investment for airlines and airports? As self-service options are increasingly becoming mainstream, what are the main challenges and priorities facing the Air Transport Industry?
During this webcast, you'll be able to hear about Mumbai International airport's experience in deploying self-service alternatives on and off-airport and well as their plans towards self-service expansion in the future.

New generation aircraft communications: the airlines' challenge
|
Date: Thursday September 18, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
This topical webcast will address the business transformation imperatives resulting from the advent of a new generation of aircraft systems such as Electronic Flight Bags generating much higher data transfer requirements than the traditional ACARS systems that have been around for 30 years. These new generation communications systems will come as standard in the new A380 and B787 models and be progressively added to existing models.
The speakers will cover the challenge of establishing wireless coverage in airports worldwide and via satellite broadband networks. They will discuss how aircraft cockpit data communications migration from ACARS to using the much more open Internet Protocol will pose the challenge of securing and encrypting air-ground communications.
Hear about the challenges and opportunities, the impact on existing processes and systems, and the implications for security as next-generation aircraft become part of the IT network.
Discussion topics will include:
- New cockpit systems: Electronic Flight Bags, Electronic Logbooks
- Impact on aircraft operations: proactive and en-route maintenance, faster turn-around, mixed fleet management, access to aircraft manufacturers
- Connectivity: open but secure connection via airport networks and Inmarsat
- Growing data exchange volumes: the need for high bandwidth to enable implementation of data-hungry applications at reasonable cost

Digital Traveler - What's hype and what's reality?
|
Date: Thursday June 12, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
There are strong expectations that mobile device based services and applications will eventually become mainstream within air transport. However, recognizing this vision and reaching it are two different things.
During this webcast, industry experts will discuss:
- What can airlines, airports, ground handlers, government agencies and passengers really expect from mobile based services?
- What are the forces at play and key considerations to take into account in the deployment of mobile technology by the ATI, and in the adoption of the services by passengers?
- Plus, what is the business case for these different services?
While there's inevitable hype about any new technology, there are clear signs that mobile has something to offer the air transport industry. Surveys consistently reveal that 90%* or more of airline passengers carry a mobile device with them when they travel. Increasingly, people are "digital travellers".

Fares Distribution and Management - time to reduce your distribution costs.
|
Date: Thursday May 29, 2008 |
Speakers include:
|
As distribution is commonly reported as being the third largest cost for an airline - after fuel and labor - it is not surprising that the subject of Fares Distribution and Management should be put under the microscope once again.
At the webinar on May 29th, SITA will be joined by Dr. John F. O'Connell of Cranfield University, UK. Dr. O'Connell researches and provides practical input and consultation to airlines worldwide on the challenges and opportunities in Distribution and Fares Management. He is an IATA instructor on distribution issues as well as an AACO (Arab Air Carriers Organization) appointed advisor to airlines in the Middle East. Currently tenured with the Air Transport Department of Cranfield University, Dr. O'Connell will identify the issues and opportunities for cost reduction within an airline, focusing on distribution as the area of greatest potential to increase the bottom line. He will be joined by Fergal Kelly, Product Manager Airfare Price & Airfare Shop, from SITA who will present a view of an end-to-end fares management solution which could address this key cost reduction opportunity for airlines.
For any airline interested in adding dollars to the bottom line, this is an occasion not be missed.

its myths, merits and realities.
MPL Experts from Alteon, Center Air Pilot Academy and Sterling Airlines Dispel the Myths and Share Their Experiences as Early Adoptors.
To clarify the confusion about MPL, Mechtronix and ATW present four leading experts that not only clarify its myths and realities, but review its history, challenges, technology's role in making it viable and its actual deployment today.
Xavier Herve, President of Mechtronix Systems, a leading flight simulation company discusses the historic roots of the traditional pilot training, how it no longer fits the pilot provisioning needs of today and how simulation technology is making MPL more viable than ever before.
Marsha Bell, Vice President of Marketing at Alteon, the training division arm of Boeing will discuss how airlines are starting to take on MPL graduates, and some are sponsoring MPL training courses. What is the motivation of those airlines which are buying into the new system, and are results measurable yet?
Anna Kjaer, Chief Ground Instructor and Operating Manager for Center Air Pilot Academy in Scandinavia, will discuss how and why it became the first flight training organization to graduate the first MPL certified students in a strategic partnership with Scandinavia's low cost Sterling Airlines.
Per Lilja, Technical Pilot and former Head of Training at Sterling Airlines will discuss MPL and why it was a priority and a practical option for his airline to become the first to embrace MPL this early in the game. As a pilot and training executive, he provides another unique dimension to discussing the myths and realities of MPL.
