BELOIT, Wis., May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wizz Air, one of
Europe's fastest growing airlines,
is transforming its content authoring process for both company and
operating manuals with Comply365's end-to-end content management
and distribution platform.
As the leading low-cost carrier in Central and Eastern Europe, Wizz Air needed an innovative
way to speed up its documentation process to support its rapid
growth plans. Wizz Air operates one of the youngest aircraft fleets
in the world with its Airbus A320 and A321s.
They fly under two AOCs (Air Operator Certificates): Wizz Air
Hungary, based in Budapest, and
Wizz Air UK, based in London Luton. Since both airlines share the
same aircraft types, significant portions of content of their
flight operating manuals could be sourced once and then shared for
efficiency.
"We were looking for a modern system for our Operations
departments that would allow us to author and maintain one set of
common content and leverage it where possible across our network,"
Wizz Air Chief Operations Officer and Chief Technical Officer
Heiko Holm said. "We not only got an
innovative solution that will scale with us as we grow, but an
experienced Comply365 team that's wonderful to work with."
Wizz Air transported 34 million passengers in 2018, a 20-percent
jump from the previous year. It operates a fleet of more than 100
aircraft across 25 bases in Europe.
"We warmly welcome Wizz Air to our global community of diverse
Comply365 users," Comply365 CEO Tom
Samuel said. "We are pleased they chose Comply365 as a
partner to streamline and modernize their authoring process across
multiple subsidiaries. Not only are we able to meet Wizz Air's
immediate needs, our experience serving long-time clients such as
American Airlines and Southwest Airlines proves we can continue to
effectively support Wizz Air as they grow their operations."
Wizz Air recently accepted delivery on the first of 256 Airbus
A321neo aircraft to support their growth strategy throughout and
beyond Europe. But with that
ongoing delivery, the carrier needed a faster way to author
operating manuals so new aircraft could be brought into service
without delay. Comply365's authoring system can repopulate
effectivity statements from manuals in existing, identical aircraft
manuals, allowing Wizz Air to create manuals for aircraft before
they are delivered.
"This was a very time-consuming process that we had to do
manually, so we're really looking forward to publishing manuals
much faster, more efficiently and accurately," Holm said.
"Comply365's editor also makes it relatively simple for anyone to
author OEM or company manuals in XML compared to other systems that
require a degree of XML knowledge."
"At Comply365, we're investing in a fashion that provides an
innovative way to safely and efficiently provide end users with
targeted and personalized content," Samuel said. "We're proud to
support the pilots, cabin crew and ground and maintenance teams at
Wizz Air with the data and insights they need to make critical
decisions and continue growing."
