Whilst there are hopeful signs of increased demand for air services, it is also clear that emerging from the pandemic, airlines will need to make fundamental changes to the way they operate.

The global pandemic has had an unparalleled and devastating impact on the aviation industry, with a dramatic decline in demand, drastic reduction of fleets, significant headcount reductions and an accelerated closure of airlines. However, as airlines begin to return to a ‘new normal’ - how can they adapt to the new reality – becoming leaner, stream-lined and more operationally efficient? 

As the world ponders its future after COVID-19, many are wondering how and when things will get back to normal.

In commercial aviation the safe transition of passengers from point A to Point B is the number one priority – passenger safety is paramount and commercial aviation wouldn’t exist without this directive. Any failure to recognise this imperative can result in catastrophic commercial and reputational damage that is almost impossible to recover from.

Airline document management is a cumbersome process, but it’s not without its challenges. For instance, having a lack of process can mean managing mission-critical documents and manuals can start to go amiss and can be hard to gain back control. In this article, we take a look at some of the ways that good document management software can do to help you take back control and keep the cogs turning smoothly. Read on to learn more.
