Jeppesen, India’s Jet Airways Sign 5 Year EFB Class 2 Contract

Jeppesen recently agreed to a five-year electronic flight bag (EFB), tailored digital charting and navigation service renewal contract with Jet Airways, a leading commercial carrier based in India.
The agreement provides Jeppesen solutions for Jet Airways and its subsidiary carriers Jetlite and Jetkonnect. The agreement includes Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro class 2 EFB services with an enroute situational awareness application, tailored digital charting services and NavData navigational information.
Jeppesen services in the agreement help Jet Airways move closer to achieving its mission of operating in a paperless flight environment. Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro EFB services allow the airline to transmit seamless real time flight data between pilots and operations staff, including weather, maintenance logbooks and ground information in an integrated format to increase operational efficiency.
“We held productive meetings with the Directorate General Civil Aviation (DGCA) authority of India to implement our FliteDeck Pro EFB class 2 services with Jet Airways, which also clears us to provide similar options for other commercial carriers of India,” said Thomas Wede, Jeppesen senior vice president and general manager, Aviation. “We are pleased to continue our relationship with Jet Airways and we look forward to helping them operate more efficiently through enhanced digital navigation and operations solutions.”
