Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen has signed a five-year charting navigation service renewal agreement with Tyrolean Airways, a subsidiary of Austrian Airlines, to provide tailored paper charting service and digital Web access to Jeppesen charts through e-Link online and e-Link for Windows applications.

“Jeppesen provides solutions that help make the transition from paper-based information to electronic services easier to implement, as we investigate the further implementation of digital technology across our fleet,” said Capt. Harald Lazar, Tyrolean Airways vice president, Flight Operations. “Using tailored Jeppesen paper chart manuals that are also accessed online allows us to process data more efficiently, while we examine our long-term digital information strategy for the flight deck.”

Through the agreement, Tyrolean Airways also implements Destination Booklet and Text Supplement services from Jeppesen to help organize charting material on board and reduce strain on operations staff through less revision filing activity.
