Condor to Deploy eWAS Pilot and eWAS Dispatch

Condor, a German leisure airline, has signed an agreement with SITA to deploy eWAS Pilot and eWAS Dispatch applications.

The eWas Pilot app offers a clear view of the current and future weather hazards along a flight plan, enabling an enhanced situational awareness. The solution enables not only a safer and more comfortable flight, but also helps airlines to reduce fuel consumption through an early and optimal preparation as well as smarter rerouting.

eWAS Dispatch, which has been developed in collaboration with dispatchers themselves, improves workflow by providing the same, real-time, graphically optimized view and information as pilots, enhancing processes and collaboration across dispatch and cockpit teams.

Christian Schmitt, Managing Director Operations of Condor, said, “At Condor, our focus has always been delivering on the promise of quality to our passengers and ensuring the highest safety standards for customers, crews and pilots. As an existing SITA customer, its aircraft communications technology has enabled us to collaborate more efficiently. Taking this next step in our partnership enables us to further enhance our operations and increase fuel economy, reflecting our strong emphasis on ecological responsibility.”

The Condor deal comes just months after SITA’s acquisition of GTD Air Services – its collaborative partner in the development of the eWAS portfolio.

Stephan Egli, Commercial VP Europe, Middle East & Africa, SITA for Aircraft, said, “The expectation for real-time data flow is growing rapidly, with a host of changing mandates and regulations to ensure that flying is safer and more sustainable than ever. Alongside this, we want to enable our airline customers to provide real passenger satisfaction and optimize costs wherever possible. We’re pleased to continue our work with Condor to transform its optimization plans into reality and help them achieve this.”
