Avion Express partners with Fokker Services to introduce the Electronic Flightbag Solution (EFB) for iPad® on their Airbus fleet

Fokker Services and Avion Express have concluded an agreement covering the introduction of the Fokker Services’ EFB solution for iPad® on the Avion Express’ A320 fleet.

The Fokker Services EFB solution for iPad® is a Class 2B, EASA-certified installation including mounting and power supply. Its simplicity allows the advantages of an EFB to be achieved at a fraction of the cost and downtime of other solutions currently being offered.

Avion Express will be using the EFB solution for iPad® on their entire A320 fleet. This will provide savings in weight, as well as enhanced accessibility of information and performance data. Aleksei Lupitski, Managing Director at Avion Express stated, “We are very enthusiastic about the EFB solution for iPad® offered by Fokker Services.  It provides a simple, fully approved solution to be able to implement this solution quickly and cost-effectively.”

“We are very pleased with Avion Express being another customer for our EFB solution for iPad®. Fokker Services has, since the successful introduction of the EFB solution for iPad®, secured orders for more than 200 aircraft. This includes regional, narrow and wide body Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Fokker aircraft”, says Heino van der Laan, VP Marketing & Sales at Fokker Services.

“In addition, Heino adds, we are very proud with the Aviation Week 2013 MRO supplier Award we won today for this innovative iPad® based EFB solution.”

The Fokker Services EFB solution for iPad® covers not only the hardware to mount and power the iPad®, but also the associated certification and supporting data, such as manual supplements, to ensure that airworthiness compliance can be demonstrated.
