PHI International (formerly HNZ) is implementing Ideagan’s risk-monitoring and -control Coruson software. The enterprise cloud-based system enables real-time risk control, visibility, and reporting. With Coruson, PHI International will become the first operator in the helicopter industry to combine comprehensive bow-tie risk models with aspects of safety reporting and auditing.
“Many places we fly to have dynamic and fast-changing operating conditions, and it is critical that we have the best possible systems in place to help us manage any risks as they emerge. Coruson gives us real-time monitoring of hazards and risks in every location,” said Robert Cavers, PHI International’s safety and quality director. “We fly helicopters in extreme environments all over the world from offshore Western Australia to the ice shelves of Antarctica, every day of the year," he said. “If a pilot is on an offshore marine pilot transfer flight and observes a hazard, he or she can report that back to us immediately by inputting it to Coruson. We can then start tracking the risk factors and making the necessary safety adjustments straight away.”
PHI International operates a fleet of more than 20 single- and twin-engine helicopters in New Zealand, Australia, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Antarctica. Coruson customers include Jaguar, Land Rover, Haeco, Johnson Matthey, Air Asia, British Airways, Ryanair, and Telefonica.
