LATIN AMERICA FOCUS
Tools for the job, both now and for the future
Andrés Castrillón, Key Account Manager of Quantum Aviation Solutions, spoke to REN
about the growing popularity in the Hispanic market of the tool that it offers to airlines
and ground handling companies all around the world.
He says, quite frankly, that the evolution and change of mentality during the past five
years have been wonderful to observe.
“Airlines and handlers now understand the benefits of implementing their management
tools. Their expansion represents a before and after in the optimisation of processes
within the ground handling industry,” he relates.
The American company offers two tools: Equipment Fleet Management (or EFM) and a
Baggage Reconciliation Solution System. The first one was actually developed in Frankfurt,
Germany, while the second application stems from London; both are implemented
worldwide. Castrillón works specifically with EFM for the Latin American, Spanish and
Portuguese markets.
He says that all his customers have achieved notable improvements and have witnessed
a reduction in accident rates with the company’s software and hardware tools. Quantum
also offers a return on capital invested by segmenting the benefits into three main groups.
These are first, a reduction in fuel consumption, second a reduction of equipment
maintenance and third, a trimming of the fleet size.
“The benefits offered by Quantum are of great value, focusing 100% on the airport
business and associated with an excellent support service, allowing constant monitoring
during and after implementation,” he concludes.
