Navtech iCharts will be supplied to the regional airline which operates scheduled and wet lease routes within Europe. Braathens Regional is also a subscriber to Navtech's Airport Obstacle Database (AODB) for their ATR fleet.
"We are delighted to work with Braathens Regional again and we are pleased they have acknowledged Navtech's advancements as a solutions provider," said Ashley Heard, European Sales Director at Navtech. "Navtech iCharts, is a fundamental transformation to the charting marketplace and with the growing number of airlines choosing Navtech, it acknowledges the benefits available to our customers from our software investments."
Braathens Regional is a returning Navtech Charts customer and has re-contracted in part because of the popularity and superior functionality of Navtech iCharts , the electronic charting application for the iPad. The airline intends to use iPads as an EFB Class 2 solution in the cockpit of their 17 aircraft SAAB and ATR fleet. "Braathens Regional will, after a trial period of minimum 6 months, utilize the Navtech iCharts application meaning that there will be no back-up paper charts," said Braathens Regional, Director of Flight Operations Anders Fredriksson. "We see this as a big step towards the paperless cockpit."
