Empire Airlines The Challenge Find a powerful, yet affordable BI and analytics environment designed to meet the needs of small to midsize service businesses. The Strategy Supplement an Excel-based reporting Empire Airlines Takes Off With Turnkey BI environment with a turnkey BI appliance that includes interactive reports and Appliance dashboards, giving employees control over their data, with proactive alerts to Scale Computing’s Analytics Appliance Combines flag important developments within their purview. WebFOCUS BUE Software With HC3 Virtualization Platform The Results Fresh, relevant, real-time data to executives, As Empire Airlines grew and its operation became more complex, senior managers managers, and operations-level personnel – saw the need to acquire a software platform for business intelligence (BI), analytics, in a form that they can act on immediately and reporting. Simply put, Empire Airlines wanted more than BI. The ideal product – with minimal involvement by IT would be a hardware platform that could support several virtual environments, professionals. including BI and analytics, e-mail, a domain controller, and a terminal server to Information Builders Solution support workers at remote locations. Scale Analytics Appliance built with Scale HC3 virtualization platform and WebFOCUS The Idaho-based company also owns Empire Aerospace, which provides heavy Business User Edition. maintenance services to the airline industry, and Empire Unmanned, which provides unmanned aerial surveillance and analysis services for agriculture and other industries. The company provides air cargo services in 18 states and operates an inter-island passenger service for Hawaiian Airlines. One of Empire Airlines first inquiries was with Scale Computing. Melanie Ellingson, Information Builders helps director of IT at Empire Airlines, liked Scale’s HC3 Virtualization Platform, a “datacenter- organizations transform data into in-a-box” with server, storage and virtualization integrated into a single appliance. business value. Our business Best of all, the appliance included WebFOCUS Business User Edition. intelligence, integration, and data integrity solutions enable smarter Ellingson and her colleagues evaluated all the leading BI tools, but she determined decision-making, strengthen that none of them were quite right for her organization. “We knew BI would customer relationships, improve streamline our operations, but we had a hard time finding something that our small performance, and drive growth. company of 350 employees could relate to,” she explains. “We looked at quite a few vendors, but their enterprise solutions were too big and expensive for us.” WebFOCUS iWay Software Omni Customer Profile According to Ellingson, the partnership between Scale Computing and Information Builders created the perfect analytics solution. “The appliance was easy to set up and use right away and the installation was a breeze, ” she noted. “They gave us an image that we installed directly on the device. The support and training were great, along with the learning tools they provided. Having our data on premises is important for us and this new appliance helped make that a reality.” WebFOCUS for Real-Time Status Alerts Empire Airlines’s BI footprint is expanding quickly as Ellingson and her team discover all the things the Analytics Appliance can do. For the inter-island flights that Empire Airlines operates in Hawaii, it generates reports about flight delays, cancellations, and mechanical issues. “Previously we received e-mail messages about the expected length of each delay and which aircraft were involved,” Ellingson recalls. “The Analytics Appliance delivers additional information to key individuals.” Some of this data populates dashboards and historical reports, with actions triggered by automatic alerts. “The Analytics Appliance has powerful alerting capabilities that we plan to use extensively going forward,” she says. “It has become an important reporting program for monitoring our high-level KPIs.” WebFOCUS to Enhance Microsoft Excel Empire Airlines services its fleet at a maintenance repair overhaul (MRO) facility in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. This facility also service planes for other airlines. Previously Empire Airlines used Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to orchestrate many aspects of its MRO contracts – everything from performing structural work to creating composites to ordering parts and scheduling inspections. Now Empire Airlines is importing this data into the Analytics Appliance to give workers an expanded set of capabilities. “The support and training were great, along with the “Planes are often here for six to eight weeks for MRO contracts,” says Ellingson. “These are huge learning tools they provided. jobs with hundreds of parts and thousands of lines on a work order. The Analytics Appliance Having our data on premises uses HTML5 to package the data in an interactive format, complete with charts and graphs and is important for us and this visualizations.” new appliance helped make that a reality.” HTML5 is the engine of WebFOCUS Active Technology, a unique form of BI that combines data and interactive controls into self-contained HTML files. Active Technology reports, charts, and Melanie Ellingson Director of IT dashboards deliver analytic capabilities in a completely portable and disconnected environment. Empire Airlines Also referred to as In-Document Analytics, it provides portable BI in standard documents that are easy to distribute. Users can slice, dice, and filter the data to get what they need. Instead of having to peruse an Excel spreadsheet to stay abreast of a complex job, authorized personnel can click, sort, summarize, and visualize the data by client, plane, work order, timeframe, part, and many other variables. Empire Airlines plans to create customer-facing applications to allow clients to directly monitor the work being done on their aircraft. “The Analytics Appliance makes it easy to appropriate all the work we have put into our Excel spreadsheets,” Ellingson explains. “We drill into the data to see the underlying detail. We considered Microsoft BI for this purpose, but the Analytics Appliance is much easier, and the performance is exceptional. Both programs hit the SQL Server database, but the appliance is much quicker than Excel,” she adds. “The Analytics Appliance, and its embedded instance Applause for Predictive Analytics of WebFOCUS Business User Ultimately, Empire Airlines plans to use the MRO data not only to examine historical trends, but Edition, has everything also to look ahead to the future. Its goal is to create predictive analytics that will allow managers we need for reporting, BI, to see potential problems and forecast important developments, from estimating maintenance and analytics. We are very requirements to predicting parts shortages. “We need to look ahead to potential problems so we pleased with what we have can change course when needed,” Ellingson says. “The Analytics Appliance helps us concentrate been able to accomplish in a resources in the areas that need attention.” short period of time.

NORTHWEST AIRLINES 1926-2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES Personal Retrospectives by Robert DuBert It's hard to believe that they are gone. Can it be possible that it was 50 years ago this September that this aircraft made its first public appearance? Are we really all so, ahem, elderly that we Photo: True Brand, courtesy Vincent Carrà remember 1968 as if it were yesterday? This plane had its origins in 1964, when Boeing began work on a proposal for the C-5A large military airlifter contract, and after Lockheed won that contest, Boeing considered a commercial passenger version as a means of salvaging the program. Urged on by Pan Am president Juan Trippe, Boeing in 1965 assigned a team headed by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter to design a large new airliner, although Boeing at the time was really more focused on its supersonic transport (SST) program. A launch customer order from Pan Am on April 13, 1966 for twenty five aircraft pushed Sutter's program into high gear, and in a truly herculian effort, Joe Sutter and his Boeing team, dubbed “The Incredibles,” brought the program from inception on paper to the public unveiling of a finished aircraft in the then unheard of time of 29 months. We're talking, of course, about the legendary and incomparable Boeing 747. THE ROLLOUT It was a bright, sunny morning on Monday, Sept.

Anarchy In The Airways Abstract In his dialogue - Anarchy In The Airways - Joseph C. Von Kornfeld, Assistant Professor, College of Hotel Administration, University of Nevada, Las Vegas initially states: “Deregulation of the airline industry has brought about financial vulnerability for the traveling public. The uthora analyzes the situation since that point in time and makes recommendations for some solutions.” In this article, Assistant Professor Von Kornfeld, first defines the airline industry in its pre-regulated form. Then he goes into the ramifications and results of deregulating the industry, both in regards to the consumer, and in deregulation’s impact on the airlines themselves. “The most dramatic consequence of the pressures and turbulence of airline deregulation has been the unprecedented proliferation of airline bankruptcies,” Von Kornfeld informs.

  • Aviation Activity Forecasts
    Chapter 22 Aviation Activity Forecasts 1. Introduction This chapter forecasts aviation activity at Coeur d’Alene Airport (COE). Forecasts form the basis of other Master Plan Update (Plan) elements, and identify anticipated growth at COE so improvements can be planned. COE’s users require facilities for safe and efficient operations. The development of these facilities is correlated with aviation activity forecasts. This chapter forecasts based aircraft and aircraft operations. Forecasts prepared by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Idaho Transportation Department’s Division of Aeronautics (ITD-Aero) are compared, and evaluated for their concurrence with observed local and national trends. Aviation activity forecasts and observed trends are used to select a preferred forecast. This chapter also considers the opportunity and viability of scheduled commercial passenger airline service and air cargo at COE. Forecasts have a base year of 2008, selected because of the available data of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 FAA Terminal Area Forecast (TAF) (2009 TAF), and the ITD-Aero 2008 System Plan (2008 System Plan). The forecast reporting years are five, ten, and twenty years. Projections include analysis of statistical data, professional judgment and interpretation, and industry rules of thumb to support the recommendations. Forecasts are generally expected to represent unconstrained demand that the Airport could realistically expect to serve if the necessary facilities to support the demand were present. Master Plan July 2012 2-1 Coeur d’Alene Airport AVIATION ACTIVITY FORECASTS CHAPTER 2 1.1 Forecast Utilization Aviation forecasts are one of two elements the FAA will formally approve as part of this Plan; the other is the Airport Layout Plan (ALP).
