How Airlines Can Cut Type-B Messaging Costs by 75% with EDIfly
The High Cost of Staying Legacy
For decades, Type-B messaging has been the backbone of airline communications — connecting flight operations, ground handlers, and airports worldwide. Yet as technology evolves, many airlines still depend on outdated and expensive systems that no longer align with modern efficiency goals.
These legacy networks come with high annual fees, limited scalability, and restricted integration with newer platforms. The result: growing operational costs and slower innovation.
A Smarter Alternative: EDIfly
Enter EDIfly, a secure, open-source airline messaging system built for the digital era. Designed to replace costly Type-B infrastructure, EDIfly offers a fully encrypted, cloud-ready communication platform that can reduce messaging costs by up to 75%.
Built on modern protocols, EDIfly connects airlines, airports, cargo handlers, and government agencies seamlessly — without relying on expensive intermediaries.
How It Works
Unlike traditional networks, EDIfly uses peer-to-peer encrypted data exchange. Messages travel securely and directly between authorized participants, cutting costs while maintaining full reliability and compliance with aviation standards.
The system is also easy to integrate with existing operations, making the transition from Type-B smooth and disruption-free.
Benefits Beyond Savings
· Significant cost reduction compared to legacy Type-B messaging.
· Enhanced data security through built-in encryption.
· Faster implementation with minimal technical barriers.
· Open-source flexibility, ensuring independence and scalability.
The Future of Airline Communication
Airlines worldwide are moving toward open, interoperable systems — and EDIfly stands at the forefront of that shift. As global operations grow, secure and cost-efficient communication will be the key to staying competitive.
