Digital documentation services developer Web Manuals will offer free licenses to new customers until August 31 to support the aviation industry through the Covid-19 pandemic, the Sweden-based company announced today. The “freemium” package includes free initial online training, access for five readers or reviewers, one editor, and a free choice of one compliance library with no system limitations.

“The aviation industry has been hit particularly hard by the Covid-19 pandemic and is under a number of financial pressures,” Web Manuals founder and CEO Martin Lidgard said. “Ensuring compliance and safety during this time through up-to-date digital manuals should not be another cost to worry about. This is why Web Manuals will be offering this package for free for the next four months, with no contract obligations.”

Web Manuals also will unlimited, free licenses until August 31 for airline and wet lease and aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance (ACMI) operators that want to digitize their manuals. “Arguably, some of the worst affected segments of the aviation industry since the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak have been airline, wet lease/ACMI operators,” Lidgard added. “Providing free licenses will support these organizations as they begin to navigate the tricky recovery period.”
