Trax a leading provider of aviation maintenance and engineering software, has announced the successful rollout of its expanded eMobility applications with Air Europa Express. The Spanish airline, which already relied on Trax solutions for real-time line maintenance, has now shifted from paper-based logbooks to a fully digital Electronic Logbook system.
This move marks a major step toward paperless aviation operations, streamlining technical and cabin maintenance processes across its Boeing 737 fleet.
First EU Airline to Implement Trax Electronic Logbook
Air Europa Express has become the first operator in Europe to deploy Trax’s Electronic Logbook under EASA regulations. This milestone reflects growing regulatory confidence in digital maintenance tools, paving the way for wider adoption across European carriers.
Notably, Trax’s Electronic Logbook has already been successfully used for years by airlines regulated under the FAA in the U.S. and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), demonstrating its global adaptability.
Operational Efficiency and Safety Gains
By adopting Trax’s Electronic Logbook suite, Air Europa Express has seen immediate improvements in:
- Operational efficiency with faster workflows
- Data accuracy through real-time digital input
- Maintenance safety via reliable, easily accessible records
According to Francisco Borja Mas Boned, Head of Innovation Maintenance at Air Europa, the intuitive design of the apps has ensured quick adoption by crews. He emphasized that the system boosts operational safety by providing “real-time, reliable, and accessible data.”
Trax’s Role in Digital Transformation
Nelson Perea, Regional Director of EMEA at Trax, highlighted that the collaboration with Air Europa Express reflects the airline’s commitment to modernization. By replacing paper-intensive processes in both the flight deck and cabin, the carrier is not only cutting costs but also setting a new digital standard in the aviation industry.
Trax’s eMobility applications are designed to integrate seamlessly into airline operations, helping carriers improve compliance, reduce delays, and streamline maintenance cycles.
Broader Implications for European Aviation
The adoption of digital logbooks by Air Europa Express could accelerate a broader industry shift across Europe. As regulatory bodies like EASA continue to approve and endorse such solutions, more airlines may follow, especially as paper-based systems become increasingly outdated in a data-driven aviation landscape.
