Just finished an hour long session with our US partner and the biggest avionics and ATM system vendor, discussing possibilities for cooperation in the field of advanced air mobility. There is a lot of synergy and working together will be a natural. Disruptive technologies, here we come!

BluSky has always been known as a technology leader, always on the lookout for new and improved solutions. With the brand new cooperation agreement with a US start up, we are entering the exciting world of advanced urban air mobility. We are staying on our well trodden territory of traffic management and airport operations, but of course this brave new world is very different from traditional ATM and airports. A real challenge! Interestingly, our experience in process automation and the old free flight concept is proving to be worth a lot and much sought after. So, once again, we are where we love to be, at the forefront of disruptive technologies!

Our training activities are in full swing. The first NOTAM origination for airports course was delivered a month ago with more coming up. This course responds to a new EASA requirement and is very popular. One of our instructors is in Istanbul delivering the Advanced Airport Operations course this week and the Safety Management Systems course next week. This latter is new in our portfolio. Several A-CDM courses are also planned where we are teaching the new version of this important concept.

BluSky Services will be celebrating its 20th birthday tomorrow. We thank our clients and all BluSky experts for the many successes we have had in the conviction that this will be repeated in the next 20 years!

Our second project in Canada has reached an important milestone. With the completion of the transition plan, all preparation phase documents have been completed. Next will be the creation of the Functional Requirements Document (FRD), which is the final step before vendor selection. Our A-CDM 2.0 concept now integrates the old Business Services and Business Rules document in the FRD, making it easier to have a good overview of the overall system to be created.
Our US partner in the meantime has managed to take important steps towards getting two more European airports interested in A-CDM, which means that our consulting portfolio will likely broaden after the Summer holidays.

We have been a bit slack with updating the site... so, here is a quick look of what is happening. As usual, BluSky Services is working together with partners to provide the best possible service to our clients. Right now we have a US partner and a Canadian one. Together we are running two A-CDM projects, one in Europe, the other in Canada. Both are progressing well.
Our training activities are also picking up. Classroom training is still lagging a bit... what with the war and the still persisting reluctance of some people to travel. Finances are also tight... Virtual remote classes however are alive and well! Two new courses are showing promise. One is aimed at airport personnel who will be charged with originating NOTAM, the other introduces our concept for the Smart AOCC.
The future looks bright. There is one more Canadian airport which might be interested in A-CDM with a fourth also a possibility. Mind you, when I say A-CDM, this is not the old, vanilla A-CDM common in Europe. We are talking about A-CDM 2.0, a much enhanced, more flexible version of the concept.

One look at Flightradar24 confirms what our ears have also told us… aviation is slowly recovering. Of course, the recovery is far slower than we would all like to see it happen, but at least we are moving!
Looking back at the past two years, we now see clearly that BluSky Services has weathered the crisis rather well. We did start the digital transformation early and when remote training started to be the rule of the day, almost all of our training courses had been already adapted for remote delivery. Our clients appreciated this very much and we ended up with training carrying us through the most difficult periods.
Add to this the Belgian government which had different types of support initiatives, all of which were aimed at keeping small companies alive. Of course we were all expected to contribute our own efforts to keeping things on an even keel, but this was normal. With our early pre-emptive digital transformation we managed things rather well.
With now an EU project and a new A-CDM implementation in our portfolio with things also starting to move in Canada, the future looks good.
We have just received the training schedule for 2022 and while remote course delivery still dominates, there are a few in-person deliveries also. I have already set up the allocation of our instructors, who are of course keen to once again meet the students face to face. It is too early to know how things will pan out and we may have to revert to remote delivery… we will see.
More contrails by the day!

Smart Airport Management Solutions (SAMS) - Presented by The Partners in Excellence Introduction In today’s world, most airports use an AODB, a legacy software called Airport Operational Data Base. The name is something of a misnomer, since the AODB is much more than a data base.

With the world economy slowly reviving after the shock of the COVID crisis, it is becoming clear that those who are able to adapt to the new realities will survive while others who only manage to get back to their pre-Covid status will at best have an uncertain future.
We at BluSky Services have long recognized this imperative and implemented the necessary steps in plenty of time. Since our training activities had been one of the major revenue sources, we started by re-creating our classroom courses for on-line, remote delivery. Advanced Airport Operations, Collaborative Decision Making and the SMART Airport Operations Control Center were the first to see the light of day as specially adapted on-line courses. The same amount of knowledge, but delivered in a way that fits the on-line format, the shorter sessions and the need to keep the participants engaged from beginning to end… just like in a classroom.
Demand for these courses is big, not least because it is possible to offer the courses at a lower price and it is possible to organize the courses with fewer participants and still earn money on them.
Last week we did get a nice compliment, when at the end of a course one of the participants said that for him, the remote course felt just like a classroom delivery.
We are using the excellent conferencing tool Webex from Sysco. Our instructors have been given a one day training session on the use of the tool and apparently they are able to deliver the course as it was intended.
Our CORRECT package was designed from the ground up to fit the post-COVID world, providing guidance and tips for a CORRECT recovery from the crisis.
Perhaps the most significant is SAMS, the Smart Airport Management Solution. Recognizing that in the post-COVID era, capacity is secondary to efficiency, SAMS proposes an airport management solution that does away with the outdated concept of the Airport Operational Data Base (AODB), replacing it with a service oriented, highly flexible solution, rich in available functionality at a very attractive price. SAMS is able to grow with the demands created by the progressing recovery.
Finally, we have just finished the updating of a client’s course study book. It was an interesting exercise, especially when we got to the parts that talked about the biggest crisis the aviation industry had ever faced. No, they were not referring to COVID, this was all about 9/11! The chapter had to be re-written, of course, with COVID claiming to be the biggest ever crisis for the aviation industry…

BluSky Services at 18…
For most of us, the 18th birthday was something special. With the doors to adulthood wide open, we all felt a kind of exhilaration. Beware world, here we come!
But how do you look at a company that has come into the world as an adult and has in its 18-year history become ever more adventurous and future oriented?
BluSky Services was officially registered on 1 April 2003 in circumstances that were experienced back than as the biggest crisis the aviation world had ever experienced. Little did we know that our new baby would celebrate its 18th birthday in the middle of a crisis compared to which 2003 was child’s play.
Our original vision, to be a trendsetter in the development, deployment and exploitation of cutting-edge aviation technologies, to be the trusted guide on the road to the future for international organizations, airports, air navigation service providers and aircraft operators has not changed over the years. Perhaps this constant and relentless focus on everything new and exciting was part of the appeal that resulted in BluSky Services becoming an accredited supplier to worldwide communications companies, sought after developer of aviation training courses, a source of instructors to aviation associations and a recognized expert in areas like system wide information management, performance based navigation, collaborative decision making and most recently, recovery advice for organizations hard-hit by the Covid 19 pandemic.
Like most others in the aviation family, we too have a very difficult time behind us. Nevertheless, we do see the light at the end of the tunnel! With airports the world over starting the recover from the initial shock and looking for help in getting to the new realities, we see our agenda filling up again with meetings and projects. What better indication could one want of the trust and recognition BluSky has earned over the years than the way people are turning to us for guidance in these difficult times?
BluSky is looking forward to the next 18 years! We thank our team and our clients who have made this 18th birthday truly special!
