The new five-year contract following a selection process spanning two years, will provide, manage, and update cloud-based e-manuals for the airline’s fleet of Boeing 777s, and Airbus A330s, A340s, and the new A380s.
Vistair’s founding Managing Director, Ian Herbert, said: “It is especially pleasing that we have been chosen by such a premier league airline after so rigorous a selection process”.
The Emirates contract with Vistair coincided with the 2011 Dubai Airshow, where the airline announced a multi-billion order for a further 50 Boeing 777 aircraft, that will be included in the Vistair service.
This new contract adds Emirates to Vistair’s fast-growing list of leading airlines that already includes British Airways, BMI, Aer Lingus, easyJet, Flybe, Flydubai, Thomas Cook, and DHL Air.
“It also enables us to expand our UK workforce at a time when advanced technology jobs are under intense pressure”, said Vistair’s Ian Herbert.
