flydubai, the Dubai-based airline, has chosen skybook to provide a new digital flight briefing solution that utilises the flagship software product from Bytron Aviation Systems.

Now live across flydubai’s flight operations, skybook is handling approximately 250 sectors per day, providing the operations teams with the latest tools to dispatch flights as well as providing pilots with detailed digital flight briefing information.

Modular and scalable by design, skybook is a flexible modern flight dispatch, crew briefing and journey logging solution that can be tailored to meet the exacting needs of any operator, across any sector, regardless of fleet, size or budget.

Implementing skybook will enhance existing flight operations processes helping drive efficiencies, save time and ultimatly reduce operating costs across every sector being flown.

Bytron Aviation Systems Managing Director Shane Spencer said: “flydubai is one of the UAE’s national carriers with an extensive network and I am proud to be able to say that they have chosen skybook as their premier solution for flight dispatch and digital crew briefing.”

“We carried out an intensive trial and evaluation period together, testing each and every aspect of skybook’s functionality, reliability and overall performance.”

“This was an excellent opportunity to not only prove our worth but to also learn from flydubai’s experience and to further develop skybook based on their operational requirements. This partnership has realised major benefits for ourselves as well as for all of our current and future clients.“

“skybook is now handling the dispatch and briefing process for every flydubai flight, automatically generating the information required to produce up to 250 sector briefings per day, all meeting the exacting requirements needed for flydubai’s pilots, helping to save time, improve efficiency and consistency and to benefit operating costs in the future,” added Spencer.

Commenting on the project, Paul Smylie, Senior Manager, Flight Operations at flydubai, said, “We chose skybook as a digital briefing solution not only due to the capabilities of the system, but as a result of the willingness of Bytron to continue to develop the product in line with industry best practice. The highly configurable solution provides a useful tool for our pilots, as well as for our Flight Operations and Network Control teams. We look forward to working with the Bytron team on further developments going forward.“
