Software

Blue One Management Sa/Nv created, developed and designed a software suite (All in one not modular) able to support any airline (Pax, Cargo, Scheduled, Charter and/or Corporate Business), worldwide and multiple based in the making of flexible, cost effective business decisions at the level of training, planning and tracking of flight and cabin crew as on planning, tracking and maintaining of aircraft. Fully capable of handling multi aircraft type qualifications within an environment of multi air operator certificates.

The Blue One software is built out of one central database, towards the three major building blocks being :

• Data Administration: People, Aircraft, Airport, Training and Hotel.
  
  
• Planning and Tracking: Aircraft Tracking, Crew Tracking, Pairing Management, Crew Utilization, Crew Interface, Leave Management and Interface Monitor.
  
  
• Parameters/Reporting: Reports, Duty Administration, Application Parameters, System Parameters, Crew Parameters, KPI and E-borders.

All modules have been worked out with the intent of building intuitive interfaces, where all required information is available.
Such a tool will sustain,  at all stages, the decision making process related the planned or ongoing operations.
Blue One is delivered out of the shelf, including absolutely all the modules. This unique strategy guarantees a scalable tool, which will go along with the expansion of your operations without any additional investments.

On the technical site, it should be noted that the Blue One Software is based on an ORACLE 10g database, using a fully normalized data model.  
This choice guarantees by far, the best performance, multi platform installation and portability.
Thanks to a long term relationship, Blue One has been ranked as official ORACLE partner for several years.
On the application server site, Blue One Software is developed using the Oracle Forms and Reports Technology 10g.  The application is deployed using a Java based application server.

The Blue One Software is fully web-enabled. It is usually installed on one dedicated server, accessible via the LAN for the office users. This set-up doesn't require any specific installation on the workstation.
Hence, the application is accessible via the Internet from anywhere without client software installation.

Thanks to its state of the art technology, Blue One Software offers a wide choice of interfaces with the external world, including text file, IP stream, HTTP and XML Technology.
The Blue One Software Database is accessible for reporting from many industries standard reporting tools such as Crystal Reports, Microsoft Access or Business Objects.
A standard set of Database views are published and supported to protect the customer investments.

All the standard Blue One software reports are produced in PDF format which makes the distribution very easy.

Emission Trading Scheme

The EU Commission have introduced a requirement for the Operators to comply with a series of measures within the scope of the Directive 2008/101/EG for the aviation industry. Those measures define the framework in which the Airlines will have to monitor and report on their CO2 emissions in order to inform the Climate Change Committee (CCC). Those requirements apply to all the flights from, to and within Europe, unless the Operator can be ranked amongst the “Small emitters”.

The EU Commission have published a timeline which defines the different steps to be accomplished by the Operators.

One important step is the submission of a “Monitoring Plan”, by each Operator. The monitoring plan is meant to report on the CO2 emissions of the past and will be used as a start basis by the Authority in order to further monitor the actual emissions of CO2 as of 2010. As from 2012 (to be confirmed), the airlines will have to deal with their Emission Permits, obtained and managed within the framework of the Emission Trading Scheme.

The purpose of Blue One is to become a relevant tool, which will allow the airlines to build transparent reporting means that comply with the EU requirements. Blue One will be used for data mining purposes and will produce all the necessary data in order to be compliant with the EU regulation about the Emission Trading Scheme.

Three main focus areas are in the scope of this feature:

• Computation of the flown distances, based on the Great Circling Distance between the city pairs,
• Export of the relevant Mass & Balance data, parsed from the LDM messages
• Export of the relevant fuel figures, parsed from the reported fuel figures through the different reporting means available in the system: Crew Interface, Aircraft Tracking, integration with a Flight Planning software,

One export of data will be produced. This export of data contains all the information of each flight accomplished and covers all the requirements to be used in order to realize the purposes of the ETS monitoring and reporting. Thanks to the gathered data and enhancements to the core application, it will be possible to:

• Compute the RTK (Revenue Ton/Kilometer)
• Compute the amount of emissions of CO2 in tons, based on the actual fuel burn
• Fill in the official Emissions reports published by Eurocontrol
• Choose the methodology of reporting based on the possibilities left by the Commission
• Prepare the external audits and bring the evidence of the consistency of the reported figures
