AEGEAN Airlines and Olympic Air Bring Operational Learning to Flight Crews with CEFA AMS

COLMAR, FRANCE, October 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CEFA Aviation today announced that AEGEAN and its subsidiary, Olympic Air, have selected CEFA Aviation Mobile Services (CEFA AMS), the operational learning platform developed by CEFA Aviation. The deployment began Aug. 1, 2026, and will provide more than 800 pilots across a fleet of 88 aircraft with private access to their own flight data to support post-flight learning.

Following a comprehensive evaluation, the company selected CEFA AMS for the depth of context it gives pilots. By bringing together operational, environmental, and human factors, CEFA AMS helps pilots make sense of each flight and the decisions they made.

Integrated directly into the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), CEFA AMS lets pilots review their own flights shortly after landing using synchronized flight animation, aircraft parameters and navigation charts on the same timeline. This gives pilots a clear understanding of how each situation developed. They carry what they learn from one flight into the next.

For AEGEAN and Olympic Air, the benefits extend far beyond individual pilots. Individual insights evolve into meaningful crew discussions, strengthening the organization's safety culture and building operational resilience through lessons learned from every flight.

Traditional flight data analysis focuses primarily on the small fraction of flights where an issue occurs. CEFA AMS extends learning beyond those events by bringing the principles of Safety-II directly to pilots, enabling them to learn from the thousands of flights completed safely every day. This broader approach complements existing Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) programs while supporting Evidence-Based Training (EBT) in day-to-day operations.

“Aviation has become remarkably good at measuring what happened during a flight. The next step is understanding why,” said Dominique Mineo, CEO and Founder of CEFA Aviation. “Every flight contains knowledge worth keeping. Our job is to put that knowledge back into the hands of the pilots who created it. We are proud that AEGEAN and its subsidiary, Olympic Air, share this vision, and we look forward to supporting their journey toward Operational Learning.”

“We were not looking just for a flight replay tool. We wanted a platform that our pilots would use, one that fits naturally into their daily workflow and helps them learn from their own operations,” said Captain Panagiotis Siskos, Accountable Manager / COO of AEGEAN. “CEFA AMS stood out because it places each flight in its real operational context. By helping pilots better understand their own operational performance, it gives them greater confidence to openly discuss their flights and supports stronger voluntary reporting. This will reinforce our safety culture and help us turn everyday operations into everyday learning. We look forward to deploying it across both airlines.”
