A post from flight operations software provider Evoke Systems outlines common warning signs that an airline's shift-handover process isn't working — including reliance on verbal-only handoffs, inconsistent documentation between shifts, and information that only exists in one person's memory rather than a shared record. The piece argues these gaps compound over time, creating operational blind spots that are hard to spot until something goes wrong, and positions structured digital handover logs as the fix its EFOS platform is built to provide.

The flight-ops software maker's post argues that inconsistent, undocumented handovers quietly erode safety margins and operational efficiency.

Why Airline Operations Centers Are Betting on AI to Unify Fragmented Decisions
An industry piece argues that no single person inside an airline's operations control centre has the complete picture during a disruption, since weather, crew, maintenance and network data all sit with different teams. It frames AI's role as pulling those fragmented signals together fast enough to keep pace with a live disruption.
