In 2009, our founder Kris, was playing around with the idea of creating an app to improve his workflow. He was not looking to start up a company but simply wanted to create a product that he, as a pilot, would want to use. After joining forces with an IT expert, AvioBook’s success story officially began with the development of the first app. The arrival of the iPad was a catalyst for change as it presented a whole range of new possibilities.
DAT were attracted by the ergonomics of the product. They considered the EFB to be “perfect” and became AvioBook’s first customer. We also won over KLM and successfully adapted the product to their specific requirements. Since then, AvioBook has continued to grow. The takeover by Thales was an excellent opportunity to scale up and benefit from Thales’ expertise in data and cyber security, while preserving AvioBook’s individuality and agile work ethic.
