General Info:

In Spring 2009, on behalf of a client, Aircraft Group delivered two leased aircraft to SkyEurope Airlines, based in Slovakia. SkyEurope was building its fleet to open more routes and expand its operations. The airline went on to lease several more aircraft from other financial institutions. The planes were to be flown throughout Europe for this commercial carrier but a few months later it was obvious that SkyEurope was in financial trouble. In September 2009, the airline declared bankruptcy and ceased operations. All the planes were grounded. Although The Aircraft Group couldn't predict the future when it delivered the aircraft to SkyEurope, the firm knew from its years of experience that keeping all aircraft documentation on a centralized server would ensure document integrity and offer more flexibility for transferring the aircraft in the future, if necessary. In the case with SkyEurope, repossession of the two aircraft that Aircraft Group supplied was as easy as arranging for a crew to fly the aircraft out of the country. Unfortunately, the other aircraft Lessors were not as fortunate. Several others of SkyEurope's Lessors are now burdened with the additional task of researching and recreating the necessary documentation history. Without SkyEurope's staff on hand, the costly task is left for a hired team to go onsite and reassemble the documentation. Oftentimes there are 200, 000 to 400, 000 documents per aircraft making research and recreation a herculean effort. Making matters worse, the aircraft are sitting idle and incurring storage fees while not producing any revenue. Aircraft Group created the optimum system for SkyEurope by supplying the planes and providing secure access to all necessary documentation over the internet. This allowed SkyEurope personnel to maintain maintenance checks, airworthiness records, flight histories and more while the original hard copy documents remained with Lessor. Not only was this convenient during operations giving instantaneous access to any document, it also allowed for immediate removal of the aircraft when SkyEurope became insolvent, saving everyone time, money and aggravation. "Technology now offers us incredible flexibility and convenience while still providing security. Unfortunately, many companies do not take advantage of automation on the front-end and end up paying dearly for it on the back-end. We see this scenario time and time again and are hoping that in the future online recordkeeping will be as commonplace as it is in other industries, " commented Walter Andrushenko, president of Aircraft Group.
