Nesma Airlines needed a way to maintain continuous situational awareness in the Operations Control Centre (OCC) after a flight had been released.

Flight dispatchers monitoring NOTAM awareness manually across multiple phases of flight, was time-consuming and prone to delays in detecting and responding.

NOTAM watch awareness

Nesma Airlines decided to integrate skybook’s NOTAM Watch into their flight dispatch process to enhance real-time awareness and visibility across all flights.

The innovative tracking tool automatically monitors NOTAMs and provides any critical updates throughout the flight journey - offering immediate visibility on any changes affecting destination, alternate, or enroute airports.

While also filtering out any irrelevant NOTAMs that are of no value to the airlines operations.

Real-time situational awareness in action

During a routine operation, Nesma Airlines experienced a real-time test of NOTAM Watch's value...

A volcanic eruption in Italy led to the sudden closure of their intended destination.

Thanks to NOTAM Watch’s instant alert notifications and email to the designated person, Nesma's OCC was the first to receive the information, enabling them to recall the flight before it reached the affected area - preventing wider disruption across the fleet.

“NOTAM Watch has proved to be a valuable tool at Nesma OCC, providing flight dispatchers with situational awareness after releasing a flight and during flight following in case any changes happens to the situation either at destination, alternates on Enroute alternates.

We have a had a flight called back following an eruption of a volcano in Italy which closed our destination, luckily with NOTAM watch we were the first to know and called the flight back hence reducing disruption over all the fleet.

I would definitely recommend it.”
