Will Replace Paper Manuals Used By Cabin Crews On SWA Aircraft
Stratix, which provides enterprise managed mobile services (MMS), and Southwest Airlines continue their mobility collaboration by incorporating iPad mini-powered Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) into the aircraft cabin.
The EFBs will replace the paper manuals that Southwest Flight Attendants use to reference policies, procedures and manuals while working a trip. The iPad minis also will enable Southwest to simplify the way policies and procedures are updated and ensure that flight attendants receive updates at the same time.
For more detail and commentary on the project, please read “iPads Take Flight At Southwest,” a feature cover story on the project in the August issue of Field Technologies Online.

“There are a multitude of efficiencies and conveniences gained by acquiring an Inflight EFB, and we are thrilled to offer this technology to our flight attendants,” said Sonya Lacore, Southwest Airlines Vice President Cabin Services. “At Southwest, we strive for continuous improvement, and this multi-year mobility initiative is going to bring about new and exciting changes for our flight attendants and our customer experience.”
“Our mutual focus on customer experience and improved efficiency has created a long-standing collaboration with Southwest,” said Gina Gallo, president and CEO, Stratix Corporation. “Helping our clients realize the full value of their mobile investments and achieve their corporate mission is behind our successful partnerships with clients such as Southwest Airlines.”
