This three-year contract will bolster Air Algérie’s MRO documentation system, for 15 ATR aircraft with deliveries of raw data of line maintenance publications in XML format to be integrated into Air Algérie via the Swiss-AS ‘AMOS.’
ATR, the world’s leading regional aircraft manufacturer, Air Algérie, and Algeria’s largest public carrier, have collaborated to launch the first Digital Maintenance Documentation package. This three-year contract aims to bolster Air Algérie’s maintenance documentation system, optimizing the operations of its fleet consisting of 15 ATR aircraft.
This innovative service, provided by ATR, involves delivering raw data of line maintenance publications in XML format to be integrated into Air Algérie’s Maintenance Information System via ‘AMOS.’ This comprehensive solution, designed by Swiss-AS, facilitates the digitalization of airline maintenance management.
Laid Bouchama, Technical Director, Air Algérie said, “We are proud to be the launch customer of this new service that will help us streamline our daily maintenance procedures, reducing downtime and increasing our fleet’s availability. This three-party cooperation ensures that we all benefit from the greatest expertise in terms of on-the-ground operations, engineering insights and digitalisation, to the benefit of our passengers who will appreciate the reliability of our service.”
Key benefits of this collaboration include time and cost savings, improved safety and compliance, and enhanced efficiency in maintenance procedures. The digital maintenance documentation contract enables Air Algérie to streamline revision processes, distribute publications swiftly and in a paperless manner, reduce preparation time for maintenance checks, standardize the structure and format of documentation, enhance information consistency across all aircraft manuals, and automate revision tracking and document control.
Fabiano Faccoli, Chief Executive Officer, Swiss-AS said, “We are pleased to see that the partnership agreement recently signed with ATR already benefits our customers, and that our digitalisation solutions are a real support to their daily operations. It’s technology at its best, making our customers’ daily tasks easier and ensuring they can focus on core and value-added activities.”

Stefano Marazzani, ATR’s SVP Customer Support and Services said, “Seeing an established customer like Air Algérie placing its confidence in one of our new products is the best recognition of the value of our expertise. ATR’s new Digital Maintenance Documentation package will be a decisive tool, empowering Air Algérie to further optimise its maintenance management processes, which ultimately means more reliable and accessible connectivity for the local communities.”
