Comply365 Leads Research to Integrate AI into Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) Transformation

Global – Comply365, LLC (“Comply365”), a leading global provider of operational content, safety and training management solutions for the global aviation industry, announced a new research initiative focused on how next-generation, AI-powered technologies can transform Advanced Qualification Program (AQP) practices across the aviation industry.  This exciting initiative which forms part of the company’s wider AI strategy, reinforces Comply365’s commitment to modernizing Training Management Systems (TMS) and shaping the future of training for its global aviation customer base.

The AI initiative focused on AQP will directly support the evolution of Comply365’s Fox Training Management platform, already trusted by a wide range of airlines in North America and across the globe, for managing complex AQP workflows. By embedding intelligent, data-driven capabilities, this initiative aims to unlock new levels of efficiency, safety, and regulatory confidence in airline training programs.

As a collaborative industry approach, the research will draw on the expertise of Comply365’s Global Advisory Board, comprised of highly experienced Chief Pilots and leaders from across aviation operations and safety, alongside input from current airline customers operating under AQP. Together, these stakeholders will help to shape the research priorities, validate emerging AI approaches, and ensure that outcomes are grounded in operational relevance.

The Compy365 AQP AI initiative is focused on improving key aspects of aviation training management by:

  • Delivering deeper insights into training effectiveness and performance trends
  • Reducing manual workloads to improve operational efficiency
  • Supporting more personalized and adaptive learning experiences
  • Enhancing transparency and responsiveness in compliance reporting.

Craig Drew of the Comply365 Global Advisory Board and former SVP Air Operations at Southwest Airlines stated “This AI initiative by Comply365 represents a pivotal step forward in aligning AQP with the dynamic demands of modern aviation. By harnessing AI to generate actionable insights and reduce training and operational complexity, we have a real opportunity to elevate training outcomes, enhance safety, and support a more adaptive, performance-driven culture across the aviation industry.” 

Ilia Kostov, CEO of Comply365 also stated “We see tremendous opportunity to evolve AQP into a more agile, data-informed framework that not only ensures compliance but also fuels training effectiveness and performance improvements. By integrating AI and automation, we aim to enable our customers to unlock training insights and improvements that traditional systems cannot deliver at the same pace or to the same standard.” 

Findings and prototypes developed through the research will be shared with industry through conferences including Compy365’s customer conference, Connections365, and its Customer Advisory Board, reflecting the company’s mission to empower customers with intelligent solutions that deliver significant efficiencies and operational improvements. A first unveiling of the AQP AI initiative will take place at the Connections365 conference in Dallas this coming September.

Comply365’s ongoing investment in AI, including the AQP AI initiative, is part of a wider innovation strategy backed by the company’s world-class investors, Insight Partners and Liberty Hall Capital Partners.

Simorg Releases the 3rd Edition of its Customer Focus Series – Highlights Partnership with Pegasus Airlines

Turkiye – Management software for full flight simulator training center operations, Simorg, announces the third edition of its Customer Focus Series. This latest edition provides insights from Simorg’s airline customer, Pegasus Airlines and Pegasus Aviation Technologies.

Read the full interview below:

In this edition, we feature Pegasus Airlines and Pegasus Aviation Technologies, highlighting their proactive approach to training and operational readiness. As Pegasus continues to grow its next-generation fleet, their investment in advanced training infrastructure and technology, including Simorg, has helped ensure consistency, safety, and quality across expanding operations.

Led by Tuğrul Ünaydın, the Pegasus Aviation Technologies team brings a unique combination of digital capability and aviation insight—demonstrating how the right tools and leadership can align to meet evolving industry needs.

Founded in 1990, Pegasus Airlines has evolved from a charter airline into one of the most innovative and fastest-growing low-cost carriers in the world. Renowned for its operational efficiency and customer-centric approach, Pegasus connects over 100 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, offering affordable and reliable air travel.

Located in Istanbul, the Pegasus Aviation Technologies is a state-of-the-art facility supporting the airline’s growth and safety focus. It provides training device services and technology development. Designed to meet growing market demand, the center is a cornerstone of Pegasus’s operational excellence.

Introduction to Tuğrul Ünaydın (Accountable Manager)

Tuğrul Ünaydın, a computer engineer with extensive experience in aviation, brings a unique blend of technical expertise and operational knowledge to Pegasus Aviation Technologies. Under his leadership, the center has adapted to the dynamic needs of the aviation industry, leveraging cutting-edge technology to deliver practical and efficient training solutions.

Mert: It’s unusual for a low-cost carrier to establish its own flight academy. How did Pegasus’s in-house training operations begin?

Tuğrul:It’s true that it’s not common for an LCC like us to have a flight academy. However, as our fleet has been growing rapidly, we recognized the need for reliable and efficient training to maintain our standards. Initially focused on internal needs, we soon saw an opportunity to contribute to the broader aviation community.

Mert: As a computer engineer, how do you view digital’s role in aviation training?

Tuğrul:The future of aviation training lies in integrating advanced technologies like real-time data analytics and predictive systems. These tools enhance accuracy, compliance, and efficiency. Platforms like Simorg redefine the synergy between technology and aviation training, making processes more dynamic and adaptable. For the future perspective, especially in a rapidly evolving environment, companies which catch the benefits of Artificial Intelligence will be more likely to lead in their sectors.

Mert:Why did Pegasus choose Simorg instead of developing in-house software?

Tuğrul:Sometimes, the right decision is not to build but to buy. Choosing Simorg allowed us to access innovation faster and with less risk, complementing our existing systems effectively.

Mert: How does Simorg align with Pegasus’s commitment to cutting-edge technology?

Tuğrul: Training continuity is critical to our operations. Simorg has turned a complex and essential process into a structured, scalable reality, ensuring seamless operations and preventing delays or cancellations.

Mert: How has Simorg enhanced Pegasus Aviation Technologies operations?

Tuğrul: Simorg’s integration with our crew planning system automates slot creation and reflects it back in the kiosks, simplifying training logs for both crew and instructors. Its compliance reports save significant time while ensuring accuracy. Additionally, Simorg supports inventory management, maintenance scheduling, audit planning, and risk assessments, consolidating all our operational needs into one platform.

Mert:  What is Pegasus’s vision for training as the fleet continues to grow?

Tuğrul: Our vision is to stay ahead by building a scalable and efficient FSTD operation. We aim to ensure every crew member receives top-quality training that aligns with the demands of our expanding operations.

Results and Benefits

  • Scalability: Seamlessly supports Pegasus’s expanding fleet and training needs.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automatic slot creation, compliance reporting, and streamlined processes.
  • Comprehensive Management: Consolidates sim planning, inventory management, and risk assessments into one platform.
  • Innovation Alignment: Strengthens Pegasus’s reputation as a leader in adopting cutting-edge technology.”
