Digital Platform Airline Pilot Club Partners with Welliba – Employee Experience Management Platform

Digital platform Airline Pilot Club (APC) is excited to announce a new partnership with Welliba. Welliba has developed a groundbreaking SaaS-based employee experience (EX) management platform, based on the best of behavioural science and human centric technology. Welliba helps people to understand and improve their well-being, development, and EX by analysing and improving the interaction between their personal characteristics and their environment. APC’s partnership will help pilots to improve their well-being and EX during their training, work and in their personal life.

The collaboration is set to launch on 13th of November, with an array of resources aimed at helping both experienced pilots and pilots in training. APC members, irrespective of their experience level, will get  full access to Welliba’s comprehensive suite of EX insights and digital learning resources to improve their students or staff experience, well-being, resilience, personal growth, and career readiness.

Members will benefit from:

  • A personalized insight hub, which can offer support, like a digital coach, to help APC members understand which internal and external factors impact their performance, resilience, well-being, and growth potential.
  • Personal advice and strategies to manage different blockers or stress factors and to help unlock a great experience during aviation training and professional pilot careers. No one-size-fits-all solutions, but advice on what works best for each person in their specific environment.
  • Resources for professional development that complement existing skills and prepare pilots for the evolving demands of the airline industry.

APC will get access to aggregate data that can point to areas of risk, opportunities and impact into holistic development of (future) pilots. No individual member data is shared by Welliba with APC or any future employer.

“We believe that supporting the holistic development of our members is crucial to the advancement of the aviation industry. Our partnership with Welliba represents a significant step forward in providing the necessary resources to help future and current pilots thrive at all career stages,” says Andy O’Shea, CEO & President, at APC.

“Welliba is committed to empowering individuals with personalised insights and learning resources to unlock a better experience at work and life and increase learning effectiveness, well-being, performance and professional growth. Collaborating with Airline Pilot Club enables us to reach a dedicated community of aviation professionals and support them in achieving their full potential,” states David Barrett, CEO, at Welliba.

The services provided by Welliba are currently free to APC individual members. APC can offer a dedicated paid service to flight schools and airlines with their own insights, analytics, dashboards and resources.

The APC-Welliba partnership is more than a set of newly available services: it is a commitment to the future of aviation excellence. APC invites all members to embrace this opportunity, which promises to enrich their professional paths and personal lives.

Global Aircraft Manufacturer, Airbus, Officially Establishes Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in China

France-headquartered aircraft manufacturer Airbus officially established a wholly-owned subsidiary—Satair (Chengdu) Co Ltd in Shuangliu district in Chengdu, capital of Southwest China’s Sichuan province.

This marks another giant step forward on Airbus’ map of life-cycle services, following the completion of Airbus’ aircraft lifecycle service center in Chengdu on September 28, 2023.

Satair is a global leader in the civil aviation industry supply chain, offering a wide range of products including aircraft spare parts and tooling with over 1,000,000 inventory part numbers. These products cater to all types of aircraft.

Richard Stoddart, CEO of Satair, said Satair Chengdu, whose business scope encompasses the purchase of pre-owned aircraft and the management and trade of available used aircraft materials, is an important business line of the Airbus Lifecycle Services Center project.

The company is expected to provide a more diverse supplement to Satair’s existing aircraft material support system, enrich the options of available aircraft materials, and offer more comprehensive material services and support to major airlines, aircraft maintenance facilities, and component repair centers.

George Xu, executive vice president of Airbus and CEO of Airbus China, said Airbus Lifecycle Services Center in Chengdu offers industry leading one-stop sustainable solutions by recycling middle life and aged aircraft, and it’s testimony to Airbus’ commitment to China as a long-term reliable partner.

“Thanks to our cooperation in Chengdu, Airbus completes our industrial value chain in China from design, parts manufacturing, final assembly of aircraft, technical support service for in-service fleet to end-of-life service,” he said.

The Airbus Lifecycle Services Center, first such facility outside of Europe by Airbus, will provide services covering aircraft parking, storage, maintenance, upgrades, conversions, dismantling and recycling for various aircraft types, after put into operation in December. It has a storage capacity of 125 aircraft.

Home to the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, the Shuangliu district is build a 40-square-kilometer economic zone surrounding the airport, to forge a strong aviation industry cluster, and thus to transform itself from a “city with an airport” to an “airport city”.

Local officials said the district will keep strengthening strategic collaboration with Airbus to jointly attract projects, host professional forums, and attract businesses in the fields of component maintenance, composite manufacturing, and engine transactions.
