Norse Atlantic Airlines has received Ops Approval from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Norway to operate Ultramain Systems’ electronic logbook, and is in live production use of it across its fleet.

The Norwegian airline, which specialises in low-cost, long-haul, and direct flights across Europe, the US and Asia, has selected ULTRAMAIN ELB on iPads to fully replace the aircraft paper technical log, cabin log, journey log, and fueling logs on its fleet of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

The system will provide the airline with real-time flight and cabin crew reports, selected from ULTRAMAIN ELB’s on-device Boeing 787 tailored fault repository, as well as enable enhanced planning and defect clearance.

This is expected to lower deferral rates, increase operational service levels, and lower maintenance costs across the Dreamliner fleet.

Tim Spears, vice president of the onboard systems division at Ultramain Systems, said of the collaboration: “Norse Atlantic has an all B787 fleet which has enabled us to configure the ELB specifically to that fleet type, with a workflow to suit both scheduled and charter operations.

“The collaboration between the project teams has been excellent leading to an expedient implementation. We look forward to supporting Norse through their journey and seeing the positive impact ELB has on their business moving forward.”
