"Apps on my phone and service from Cubic Telecom eliminates waiting for delayed flights, and the crew are always on time."
Using dedicated apps and devices from Cubic Telecom, air crews are now kept away from airports until they receive confirmation that the incoming flights are on time.
Using dedicated devices and dual IMSI SIM cards, costs to airlines are minuscule compared to the time lost by a crew change - not to mention the upset for passengers. With coverage for voice and data in 230 countries, global coverage is at a level that other carriers can only dream of.
Many airlines now run Google apps as an outsourced email application, a calendar and Google Docs, which allows users to create and share documents in real-time. These applications create quite a large data footprint when the crew members are outside their home country. But using Cubic Telecom's dual IMSI technology, airlines are able to give their crew data services when away from home - and manage costs at the same time.
