AirAsia Aviation Group and AirAsia X, two of Asia’s largest low-cost carrier groups, have strengthened partnerships with SITA, adopting SITA Mission Watch to ensure safer and more efficient airline operations across seven airlines.
Datuk Captain Chester Voo, Deputy Group CEO (Airline Operations), AirAsia Aviation Group, said: “At AirAsia, we are constantly looking for innovative tools that will raise the standards for the safety and efficiency of our operations. SITA has brought all seven airlines across the AirAsia Group and AirAsia X to the cutting edge of flight tracking technology, allowing us to go above and beyond industry safety standards, streamline our operations through a single platform, and boost the ease of collaboration between our flight dispatchers and pilots to resolve any potential issues before they happen."
Yann Cabaret, CEO of SITA For Aircraft, said: “We are proud to be strengthening our partnership with AirAsia, having worked closely with them since 2020, supporting their sustainability goals with the help of SITA OptiFlight for CO2 reductions and fuel savings. In delivering the next generation of flight tracking technology to all AirAsia member airlines, we’re helping dispatchers work smarter and safer, while staying one step ahead of changing conditions.”
SITA Mission Watch is the industry-leading flight tracking and flight monitoring solution, delivering comprehensive weather visualization and shared situational awareness between the operations control center and the cockpit through advanced alerting and messaging systems.
With a user-friendly interface and seamless integration with other applications, it provides a single platform to enable synergies across AirAsia. Now deployed at AirAsia Malaysia and AirAsia X, AirAsia Philippines, AirAsia Indonesia, Thai AirAsia, Thai AirAsia X, and AirAsia Cambodia, SITA Mission Watch supports AirAsia in managing over 200 aircraft serving more than 130 destinations in 22 countries.
SITA Mission Watch maps each aircraft’s latitude, longitude, altitude, and time to provide 4D/15 visibility that meets and exceeds ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) mandate on tracking requirements, a top priority for AirAsia.
By incorporating real-time weather data aggregated from multiple sources, the solution also gives flight dispatchers the capability to anticipate potential issues before they happen and take steps to resolve them proactively, thanks to ease of communication with the cockpit through integrated messaging services.
