Hybrid premium airline Nok Air has gone live with Rusada’s maintenance management software, ENVISION. From its base in Bangkok, Nok Air operates flights to numerous destinations across Thailand, as well as China, Japan, and India. Since it began in 2004 the airline’s fleet has grown to 17 aircraft, comprising of Boeing 737s and De Havilland Canada Q400s.
Nok Air initially signed up for Rusada’s solution prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was subsequently delayed by the slowdown in global travel but reinitiated following the resumption of flights. The implementation was conducted in a staged, module-by-module approach to minimise disruption to the airline and utilisation of resources.
Nok Air are now live with five of ENVISION’s modules, including Fleet Management, Base & Line MRO, and Human Resources. Rusada’s teams conducted the deployment both remotely and in-person as restrictions allowed, to ensure a successful implementation.
Wutthiphum Jurangkool, CEO at Nok Air said, “As our route network and fleet size have continued to expand, we wanted to ensure that the efficiency of our operations didn’t suffer as a result. ENVISION has enabled us to consolidate our previous solutions and 3rd party services into a single, end-to-end platform, greatly improving our oversight and productivity.”
Julian Stourton, CEO at Rusada, added “As a hybrid premium carrier Nok Air is focused on delivering a convenient and cost-effective service for its passengers. ENVISION will provide their decision makers with all the tools and insights needed to accomplish this, and further increase the efficiency of their airline.”
