REITERATES COMMITMENT TO MAINTAINING HIGHEST SAFETY STANDARDS

Delhi, 28 March 2022: Vistara, India’s finest full-service carrier, today announced its partnership with Aerospace Software Development (ASD) and became the first scheduled Indian airline to deploy RFIDAeroCheck technology as part of its commitment to maintaining highest safety standards. ASD’s RFIDAeroCheck will track the presence and expiration of emergency equipment on the airline’s entire fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

Yet another industry-first by Vistara, the RFIDAeroCheck technology enables efficient management of all life-limited components, ensuring their presence on the aircraft as well as tracking expiry dates. This is done by storing information related to tracked components within a server-wide application database including information on defined equipment types, aircraft locations and configurations as well as information on various parts. Using the latest ATA Spec2000 and GS1 standards, RFIDAeroCheck is fully compliant with industry standards. 

Mr. SK Dash, Senior Vice President – Engineering, Vistara, said “Ensuring safety of our customers and employees is the topmost priority at Vistara and we are committed to investing in technologies that aid our growth plans and enhance our safety framework. We are pleased to partner with Aerospace Software Development (ASD) for deployment of RFIDAeroCheck which provides a quick and accurate integration of our maintenance processes, giving us the required commercial and operational flexibility across our fleet. We are also proud to be the first Indian airline to introduce this cutting-edge technology to the Indian aviation sector – another step in our digital transformation journey.”

Mr. Dave Browne, Managing Director, Aerospace Software Development, said “We are delighted that Vistara selected ASD as their RFID partner and we are very proud to have Vistara as our first airline customer in India. Working in partnership with Vistara, we have implemented the RFIDAeroCheck solution on time and on budget. The successful implementation of RFIDAeroCheck at Vistara will lead to tracking of all emergency equipment on aircraft in a fraction of the time currently required and with significant financial savings.”

With the RFIDAeroCheck, aircraft scans can be completed within minutes, ensuring accurate data and timely information regarding upcoming requirements. For instance, an RFID maintenance scan on a Boeing 787 aircraft (with 288 life vests on-board) can be completed in less than a minute by simply walking down the aisle. An O2 Generator presence and expiry check which takes 4 man-hours on an average (usually 2 mechanics spending 2 hours each) can be completed in 30 seconds.

Vistara is India’s highest-rated airline on Skytrax and Tripadvisor and has also been the winner of several ‘Best Airline’ awards besides being lauded for cabin cleanliness and safety standards.

It aims to capture the audience’ imagination and spark nostalgia for some of their best travel memories.

Deepak Rajawat, Chief Commercial Officer, Vistara said, “We are excited to be the first Indian airline to introduce such a unique melody, with ASMR sounds, that brings back the joyful memories of people’s numerous excursions. Through the Soundtrack of Travel, we also try to recognise the various teams who work together in harmony to deliver the seamless experience our customers have grown to love and appreciate. We hope this music becomes the soundtrack of many journeys together with our customers.”

#TheSoundtrackOfTravel is a 360-degree holistic, multiple-touchpoint campaign which will be amplified across radio, digital, social media channels, TV and cinemas; and will also be available to customers onboard Vistara World starting May 2022. A dedicated Spotify channel will be the next leg of the campaign to reach a wider audience and inspire them to travel again.
