Flybig adopts ARMS® software suite for digitalized operations

Flybig, India’s newest airline has selected LAMINAAR Aviation Infotech’s ARMS® application software to kickstart their operations. The ATR operator chose the ARMS® V2.5 unified platform for network planning, crew management, flight operations, flight dispatch, maintenance and engineering (M&E) and safety management. In addition, Flybig has also opted for the ARMS® mobility suite to enable digitalization and promote paperless operations.

Capt. Srinivas Rao, FRAeS, CEO of Flybig, says, “We chose ARMS® after their convincing demonstration of a new-age solution that we were looking for, and hoping it will keep our hands free from IT operations. Added to that, were the testimonials we received from their existing clients, and the fact that they have such a strong presence in India.”

Vivek Sheorey, CEO of LAMINAAR Aviation Infotech, says: “Being chosen by a significant new start-up airline is testimony to our products being agile and future ready. Airlines require real-time visibility and integration of data between flight operations. Our aim is to be FlyBig’s trusted partner for setting up systems and processes with speed and agility to enable faster decision making. We congratulate Flybig for its successful launch and look forward to a long-term engagement.”

With offices, design and development labs in Mumbai, Bangalore, Singapore and Denver (USA), LAMINAAR’s 75 plus global clients include top Indian airlines such as: Air India, GoAir, Vistara, SpiceJet among large scheduled operators and start-ups such as Star Air, besides over 20 large and small non-scheduled operators. The company’s global clients include heavyweights Air Asia, Iberia, Silk Air of the Singapore Airlines group and Jin Air, the low cost subsidiary of Korean Airlines. Among the many large non-scheduled operators, Qatar based Gulf Helicopters has been LAMINAAR’s client for nearly a decade.

The ARMS® V2.5 offers flexibility and seamless interoperability between its subsystems – flight ops, M&E, crew, safety, quality and analytics – that plays a critical role in any airline’s integrated operations initiative. The tech stack is easy to deploy, maintain, add components and features that bring non-disruptive incremental changes benefitting especially the large airlines.

In its launch flight in December 2020, the Flybig airline flew from New Delhi to Shillong. On 3rd January 2021, the airline started serving destinations from its Indore hub. Currently with two ATR 72-500s, the airline plans to add more ATR 72s as well as Dornier 228s.
