Skyshare Case Study

BLUETAIL Case study

SkyShare

“Bluetail delivers major efficiency gains by enabling us to reduce our conformity inspection time per aircraft from eight weeks to about three weeks. The time-savings are incredible.”

– Jonathan Schaedig, Vice President, Maintenance, SkyShare

The Background

For SkyShare, an FAA Part 135-and 91K operator managing a fleet of 12 aircraft, a seamless digital process was vital. With operations spanning fractional ownership, charter, aircraft management, brokerage, and FBO services, the enhanced visibility and easy access of their digital records played a critical role in their success.

The Challenge

Prior to implementing Bluetail, SkyShare faced a time-consuming and manual process for managing their aircraft logbooks and related records. Searching through paper documentation required significant labor, and the lack of instant and efficient access to key records posed challenges, particularly during FAA conformity inspections. The inefficiency of the process also limited their ability to maximize revenue and manage costs effectively.

The Transformation

In 2023, SkyShare partnered with Bluetail to digitize all their aircraft records and transform their record-keeping workflow. With Bluetail’s secure, cloud-based platform and its Compliance feature, SkyShare revolutionized their approach to managing aircraft airworthiness.

Key product features included:

  • Comprehensive Digitization: All aircraft records were scanned and made easily searchable and shareable.
  • Compliance Feature: The industry-first research and reporting tool that streamlined conformity inspections by up to 50%.
  • Secure Cloud Access: Instant access to 100% of records by the FAA oversight team, enhancing transparency.

The Benefits of Bluetail

For SkyShare, the adoption of Bluetail was a game changer. By digitizing their aircraft documentation and leveraging the compliance feature, the company not only achieved significant time and cost savings but also strengthened trust with FAA. This partnership underscores the value of Bluetail’s solution in enhancing operational efficiency and compliance in business aviation.
