An Operations Control Center (OCC) manages several complex aspects of airline operations, such as the expensive fleet of modern and old aircraft, a large number of crew members, detailed maintenance cycles, optimization of fuel burn, ATC communications, airport slots and so much more. Unfortunately, most OCCs are powered by legacy IT systems that might result in airlines running a high risk of frequent and often expensive disruption in their services. However, modern IT systems with ‘Situational Awareness’, take a different path. By displaying only the relevant information, they reduce screen complexity, thus enabling users to understand the situation better and make the most appropriate decision.
In this Whitepaper we discuss:
• Daily challenges of an OCC and shortcomings with existing IT systems
• “SAW – Situational Awareness Window” approach in airline OCC management
• Benefits for Airlines with Situational Awareness Technology in Airline Operations
