Egypt — Acron Aviation has announced a significant Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) agreement with Air Cairo. Under this this multi-year contract, Acron Aviation will provide a fully outsourced Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) service based on its industry leading Flight Data Connect (FDC) platform. The service will cover the entire Air Cairo fleet that includes ATR, Embraer and Airbus aircraft types.
The agreement was signed in mid-April 2025 with service commencing on 1 May. The seamless and rapid transition of Air Cairo’s existing FDM service to Acron Aviation saw the onboarding of Air Cairo’s fleet of 36 aircraft into the FDC platform. This included the configuration of an automated flight data download pipeline and customisation of safety events, selected from a library of over 750 events, aligned with Air Cairo’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Acron Aviation’s FDC platform uses a patented data processing and analysis engine, delivering flight insights within minutes from receipt of data. This innovative platform utilizes statistical modelling and machine learning to provide Air Cairo with accurate intelligence in a visual and easy to understand format. This enables operational teams to quickly assess and identify safety risks, emerging trends and take informed corrective actions with accuracy and speed to maintain the highest levels of operational safety and efficiency.
Complementing the FDM service, the agreement includes Acron Aviation’s innovative Astra pilot app. This customizable app utilizes flight data intelligence from multiple sources to synthesis a unified view of operational and safety performance. The app securely distributes personalized insights to pilots in an easy-to-understand format that informs decision making.
Mitesh Patel, GM & VP Flight Data Intelligence, Acron Aviation: “We are honored to have Air Cairo place their trust in us for the delivery of a world-class FDM service. With Astra pilot app, Air Cairo’s pilots will have rapid access to insights into their flights, enabling them to identify risks and opportunities to ensure the highest levels of operational efficiency and safety are always maintained. Developing and delivering innovative solutions that deliver customer value is what we do best.” Patel continued, “We are proud to partner with Air Cairo to provide them with a solution that enables their teams to make informed, value driven decisions with speed and accuracy, to improve operational performance without compromising safety.”
With a database of over 45 million flights, FDC is the only FDM service in the world that enables customers to benchmark safety parameters against the industry, competitors or operators of the same, or similar aircraft.
