Global leading data analytics solution promotes
a culture of safety and efficiency
SunExpress selected GE Aviation for a comprehensive safety
contract including eFOQA Mainline. The program covers the
SunExpress fleet including Boeing 737 and Airbus A330 airplanes and
expands upon a previous agreement to enable advanced analytics with
enriched data sets that will ultimately drive greater understanding
of flight trends. Implementation is currently underway.
“GE Aviation’s eFOQA is an integral tool used by SunExpress to
ensure our training programs and operating policies are not only
delivering upon the most stringent principles of safety and
efficiency in the industry but are setting new standards of
excellence. Upgrading to GE’s eFOQA Mainline solution allows us to
carry this to a new level,” commented Sedat Yılmaz, assistant
safety manager with SunExpress.
FOQA (Flight Operations Quality Assurance), also commonly
referred to as FDM (Flight Data Monitoring), is the process of
analyzing and reviewing routinely recorded flight data. Airlines
and operators that adopt FOQA are better able to identify and
eliminate potential safety hazards in flight operations.
“SunExpress puts safety as a top priority for its operations.
Quality and accurate data is a major enabler to improving safety,”
said Ben Ivy, senior product manager for GE Aviation. “As part of
this agreement, SunExpress is able to break down barriers and make
quality data available across their operations, helping airline
safety while increasing efficiency.”
“The partnership with GE Aviation and their eFOQA data analytics
marks a continued commitment SunExpress has in the support of our
flight operations, our flight crews and, most importantly, our
customers,” Sedat Yılmaz said. “Because safety will always be our
top priority, we’ve chosen to work with the industry leader.”
Used by hundreds of operators worldwide, FOQA is GE Aviation’s
premier service for helping operators understand and improve
safety. GE’s patented analytics software fuses meteorological
information, navigation data, and terrain mapping to identify
safety events and measurements on thousands of flights every
day.
Since its introduction in the airline industry more than 20
years ago, FOQA has been widely credited with reducing incident and
accident rates at airlines where it has been adopted. In its
2017-2018 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Enhancements,
the NTSB encourages aircraft operators to improve safety oversight
of their aircraft by routinely reviewing recorded flight data in a
structured program such as eFOQA.
