In other Farnborough news, Safran announced that All Nippon Airways has become the first airline to have connected its Safran flight data management systems to a cloud, rather than servers, through the SITA solution. Thanks to the cloud-connected Cassiopée AGS (Analysis Ground Station), flight data analysis can now be performed for the entire ANA fleet.
