IndiGo will soon introduce a wrist gadget and use a ground device to detect fatigue among pilots and check their level of alertness before and after flying an aircraft.
The airline will partner with French aerospace conglomerate Thales Group to work on the Fatigue Analysis Tool, it said in a statement. The technology will enable the airline to collect and process data from pilots to prepare flight patterns and rosters aimed at reducing pilot fatigue.
“The programme will use real-time data, historical information, and predictive analytics, with all data collected being de-identified. We remain committed to our pilots’ well-being, ensuring their health and mental well-being, ultimately enhancing passenger safety,” the airline’s statement read.
