ELMS Helps Jet2 Deliver Next Evolution In Competency And Compliance Management

Jet2.com has signed a major contract extension with software provider ELMS, committing to the competency and compliance platform until at least 2028.

Key to the decision was the launch of new functionality within the ELMS Solution, specifically aimed at improving safety, in which Jet2 played an integral role in developing. The airline will be the first to roll out these new features, which include supporting a new competency framework, enhanced authorisation module and integration within its maintenance monitoring systems.

"We’ve been using ELMS since 2016 and in that time have built an extremely collaborative relationship with the team," said Steve Taylor, Engineering Training & Development Manager at Jet2. 

"Working closely together, we have developed enhancements to the system that could have a significant impact for the industry.

An intuitive, cloud-based MRO software platform, the ELMS Solution replaces inefficient and antiquated paper-based processes with an instantly accessible way of tracking employee qualifications, training and experience to deliver clear and defined staff development and succession pathways. Users can also manage on the job assessments, workflows and complex authorisation processes, from any connected device.

Jet2’s maintenance division employs around 1,100 engineers, each with their own personal ELMS dashboard. The UK’s third largest airline, Jet2 is based out of Leeds-Bradford Airport and operates a fleet of more than 127 aircraft, to 80 destinations from 12 airports across the country. In 2023 it welcomed more than 17 million passengers on over 100,000 flights.
