As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to severely impact the aviation industry, for Jeppesen the operation is also far from normal. Some unusual, pandemic-related, activities we have recently been engaged in are:
Assisting operators to plan crew more in teams, reducing the impact in case they become infected
Providing advice and guidance for fast and frequent re-planning using the optimizers when preconditions change at short notice
Investigating usage of our crew rostering optimization capabilities for assisting the health care sector to produce rosters for personnel caring for COVID-19 patients
Providing advice to operators about re-configuration of fatigue model functionality and crew planning optimizers for utilizing/following current and proposed regulatory guidance for managing the crew during the pandemic
Special operations, like repatriation flights, being modelled and assessed for fatigue risk using BAM, as requested by regulators when operating 'beyond' the normal flight and duty time limits
Please contact your Jeppesen representative or service manager if you think we may be of assistance also to your operation during these special conditions.
