Air Transat, a leading Canadian leisure airline, has reached a major milestone in its digital Technical Operations (Tech Ops) transformation journey by introducing AVIATAR’s electronic Technical Logbook (eTLB), including the newly developed Digital Cabin Logbook, across its fleet of 43 Airbus A321 and A330 aircraft. After receiving Transport Canada’s authority approval for the operation of the eTLB, Air Transat is the first customer worldwide to operate this enhanced digital solution in both cockpit and cabin.

AVIATAR’s eTLB allows Air Transat to eliminate paper-based processes and enhance data transparency across its fleet and crews. It supports both short- and long-haul operations while meeting stringent regulatory requirements. As a fully integrated solution, it synchronizes with AMOS, the world-leading software for maintenance and engineering, and flydocs, global leaders in digital records and asset management. This ensures real-time data flow and conformity in Air Transat’s operations by automating technical dispatch and eliminating transcription errors, while ensuring regulatory compliance through digital signatures and centralized archiving.  

The new Digital Cabin Logbook expands Air Transat’s digital ecosystem to include cabin operations, allowing crews to capture relevant events in flight. Through structured inputs and standardized templates, cabin information can be shared across cockpit and maintenance teams and is synchronized with AMOS. By facilitating a parallel digital workflow, the solution aims to improve data quality, increase operational transparency, and reduce paper-based processes, contributing to greater efficiency and sustainability over time.

Fast-track implementation:  From project kickoff to full fleet go live in less than a year

The project launched in February 2025 and received Authority Maintenance Approval – an important regulatory milestone –along with the release of the final logbook version, in January 2026. Starting with three aircraft in January, Air Transat successfully went live across the fleet at the end of February 2026, supported by a dedicated hypercare phase to ensure a smooth entry into service.

Building on this success, Lufthansa Technik and Air Transat are now exploring further AVIATAR integrations, including Predictive Health Analytics and Condition Monitoring, supporting the airlines’s ambition to become fully paperless in its Technical Operations.

“By choosing AVIATAR's Electronic Technical Logbook, Air Transat made a forward-looking decision. As the world’s first AVIATAR customer to introduce the Digital Cabin Logbook, this implementation marks a major milestone in extending end-to-end digital aircraft documentation into the cabin,” said Arne Schlossmacher, Head of Sales and Customer Development AVIATAR Americas at Lufthansa Technik. “The close cooperation between the airline’s Tech Ops team, cockpit, cabin and ground crews, and AVIATAR developers made the fast-track implementation period possible. It reflects the strength of our partnership and lays the foundation for further digital solutions across Air Transat’s fleet to support its impressive approach to become fully paperless in Tech Ops.”

“The joint implementation project with the AVIATAR team was highly successful, going live in just eleven months,” said Helene Lormeau, Director Systems Support and Continuous Improvement at Air Transat. “Our teams worked closely with AVIATAR experts through multiple on-site workshops, becoming an active partner in developing and refining the solution. The flexibility of AVIATAR’s eTLB allowed us to meet the needs of a wide range of stakeholders – including Tech Ops, Flight Ops, IT, Training, MCC, and Transport Canada. Strong collaboration, clear communication and disciplined project management were key to the project’s success and laid the foundation for a successful digital transformation.”

Air Transat benefits from Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem since 2007

By integrating AVIATAR’s eTLB with Swiss AviationSoftware’s AMOS and flydocs Digital Records Management, Air Transat benefits from all three core pillars, as well as Lufthansa Technik’s Engineering Services of the Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem, as it transitions toward a fully digital environment.

Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem is a flexible, multi-application suite consisting of AVIATAR, the independent platform for data and analytics; AMOS, the world-leading software for maintenance and engineering, which Air Transat has been using since 2007; and flydocs, a global leader in digital records and asset management; supplemented by Lufthansa Technik Engineering Services. Each solution operates independently, but is designed to work together seamlessly, offering modular, integrated services through a customer-centric, collaborative approach along the whole value chain of technical operations. The Ecosystem is designed to boost process efficiency, reduce technical operating costs, enhance operational stability, and maximize aircraft availability and asset value across the full lifecycle – including lease transitions.
