Air Cairo rolls-out advanced Flight Data Monitoring across its fleet

The service will cover the entire Air Cairo fleet that includes ATR, Embraer and Airbus aircraft types.

The rapid transition of Air Cairo’s existing FDM service to Acron Aviation saw the onboarding of Air Cairo’s fleet of 36 aircraft into the FDC platform. This included the configuration of an automated flight data download pipeline and customisation of safety events, selected from a library of over 750 events, aligned with Air Cairo’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Acron Aviation’s FDC platform uses a patented data processing and analysis engine, delivering flight insights within minutes from receipt of data. This innovative platform utilises statistical modelling and machine learning to provide Air Cairo with accurate intelligence in a visual and easy to understand format. This enables operational teams to quickly assess and identify safety risks, emerging trends and take informed corrective actions with accuracy and speed to maintain the highest levels of operational safety and efficiency.

Complementing the FDM service, the agreement includes Acron Aviation’s innovative Astra pilot app. This customisable app utilises flight data intelligence from multiple sources to synthesis a unified view of operational and safety performance. The app securely distributes personalised insights to pilots in an easy-to-understand format that informs decision making.

Mitesh Patel, GM & VP Flight Data Intelligence, Acron Aviation: “We are honoured to have Air Cairo place their trust in us for the delivery of a world-class FDM service. With Astra pilot app, Air Cairo’s pilots will have rapid access to insights into their flights, enabling them to identify risks and opportunities to ensure the highest levels of operational efficiency and safety are always maintained. Developing and delivering innovative solutions that deliver customer value is what we do best.” Patel continued, “We are proud to partner with Air Cairo to provide them with a solution that enables their teams to make informed, value driven decisions with speed and accuracy, to improve operational performance without compromising safety.”

With a database of over 45 million flights, FDC is the only FDM service in the world that enables customers to benchmark safety parameters against the industry, competitors or operators of the same, or similar aircraft.

Captain Ahmed Shanan, Chairman and CEO, Air Cairo: “After conducting a comprehensive assessment of leading Flight Data Monitoring solutions in the market, we selected Acron Aviation as our strategic partner based on their ability to deliver a service that meets the highest standards of safety, technological sophistication, and operational alignment. Their platform stood out for its depth of analytics, speed of insight, and adaptability to our specific operational needs.

This collaboration provides our flight operations and safety teams with enhanced visibility into performance trends and potential risk areas, enabling data-driven decisions that strengthen our safety management framework. By integrating Acron Aviation’s capabilities into our operations, we are reinforcing our long-standing commitment to proactive safety oversight and operational excellence, ensuring that Air Cairo continues to operate at the forefront of flight safety in the region.”
