How Mauritania Airlines chose the skybook EFB platform

Mauritania Airlines operates domestic and international services across Africa in a demanding operational environment where timely flight information and reliable briefing workflows are essential.

With a mixed fleet and established flight planning and crew management systems already in place, the airline needed an EFB platform that could integrate seamlessly into its existing operational workflows while supporting day-to-day flight operations.

EFB Live Testing

Selecting a new operational EFB platform wasn't simply about comparing features. Mauritania Airlines needed to be confident the solution would perform reliably during airline operations.

Rather than relying solely on demonstrations, the airline wanted to validate the skybook EFB platform using live flight activity.

During the trial evaluation, Mauritania Airlines needed to see that skybook could support live operations consistently and reliably, with workflow integrations into FliteDeck Pro and data transmission between Jeppesen systems.

Trial & Evaluation of skybook

Throughout the skybook trial, the Bytron team worked closely maintaining regular communication with Mauritania airlines throughout a collaborative proof-of-concept, involving sales, product and support specialists to ensure a smooth evaluation process.

This included support sessions, follow-up meetings and technical testing, working alongside the airline until each operational question had been delivered.

Mauritania Airlines pushed live flights through skybook, allowing both teams to validate behaviour under genuine operating conditions.

The evaluation focused on:

• Live flight publishing and briefing workflows
• Integration with existing flight planning processes
• Tablet and ground portal data mapping
• XML and checkpoint data
• FliteDeck Pro workflow

Confidence in EFB platform

Following extensive testing and continued confidence in the skybook system, Mauritania Airlines confirmed that both the EFB application and Ground Portal were performing well during live operational use and had support from the pilots and flight operations team.

More importantly, the airline's confidence of the EFB platform was built through:

• Successful validation using live operational flights
• Close collaboration between airline operations, product and support teams
• Workflow adjustments and integration setup
• Demonstrated compatibility with existing operational processes
• Confident progression from trial to full deployment
   

Mauritania Airlines have been live with skybook for over a year, and in that time they've seen consistent improvements in operational efficiency, data quality, and crew workflows. It’s particularly rewarding to see skybook become embedded into their operations as a trusted tool across both flight deck and dispatch.

Mauritania Airlines' evaluation shows the importance of validating systems in the environment where they will be used.

By testing their flights, integrations and operational workflows, the airline ensured skybook could support real-world operations.

Through responsive technical support, collaborative problem solving and continuous validation, Bytron helped transform an initial technical evaluation into long-term operational confidence.
