Technology is at the forefront of our lives, demonstrating its power and potential through our choices and applications. For small to medium sized airlines, embracing systems that simplify the day to day is not only now accessible, but essential for the efficiency and success of the operation.
An initial Operations Control Center (OCC) setup will meet the needs of the business with infrastructure choices tailored to the demands at the time.
However, as the aviation landscape evolves, so do the requirements of an efficient OCC. Systems that once served their purpose can become burdensome, requiring more resources and introducing complexities that hinder operational efficiency. It is not uncommon to discover an OCC weighed down with several disparate systems and manual processes that lack integration. Systems are often deployed throughout various stages of the business, each with its own interface and training requirements. This fragmentation leaves you with a tech stack that looks like a jumbled mess rather than neat and tidy, efficient building blocks.

SkyNet Aviation’s GM, Paul Chevalier, points out the criticality of integrated, automated, data flows:
“A properly configured, integrated OCC platform is like the autopilot on a modern aircraft. Everything is under control, operating smoothly, with your OCC staff there to monitor and deal with changes or issues that come up. A calm OCC leads to a profitable airline!”
By implementing a development strategy, your systems could soon be sharing accurate and real time data behind the scenes, strengthening both consumer confidence with reliable and resilient flight information, whilst also creating a better work environment for your team so they can focus on what truly matters.
The ultimate goal is one platform, one password. Authenticate and get on with your day. All users can find what they need in one intuitive location, including flight data, manuals, training resources, company updates and more, all with a single access. But it doesn’t stop there, as the ecosystem becomes more simplified, so are the procedural and training requirements. And who would have thought running reports for upcoming audits could be so easy and, dare we say it…? Enjoyable!
The ideal OCC setup places all technology platforms and system infrastructure online, providing a safety net for system integrity and unforeseen disruptions. No matter what you are faced with, integrated systems in an online environment would ensure your team can continue with the operation. SkyNet is hosted on a secure web-based platform, ensuring resilience and safeguarding against downtime.
Access your OCC anywhere, anytime.
Your team could be slowed down with multiple platforms, or master one intuitive system, leading to improved efficiency, streamlined training and less room for mistakes. This also means new team members can get up to speed faster, further enhancing your operation’s agility and effectiveness. If you see potential for improvement in your current ways of working, SkyNet’s onboarding process will guide your small to medium airline through the initial set up to embrace automation and integration, transforming your day to day, ensuring precision, efficiency, and a competitive edge.
