ATR partners with Swiss-AS to boost MRO digitalization

ATR partners with Swiss-AS to boost MRO digitalization.
Swiss AviationSoftware Ltd. is a 100% subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik and is embedded into their Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem.

ATR and Swiss-AS will work together to improve and customise the integration of ATR maintenance data into the AMOS software provided by Swiss-AS to ATR operators.

ATR, the world’s leading regional aircraft manufacturer, has announced a partnership with Swiss-AS, a leading MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul) software company, to improve the digitalisation of airline maintenance management. This collaboration is the first between an aircraft manufacturer and an MRO software company, and the two partners will work together to improve and customise the integration of ATR maintenance data into the AMOS software provided by Swiss-AS to ATR operators.

The goal of this partnership is to enable airlines to digitalise their maintenance management in the most efficient way possible, with software tailored to their needs and operational constraints. At present, the integration of technical publications provided by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) into the software solution is the responsibility of the operator and often requires the use of standalone systems and various middleware to manage data integrity and revisions. By improving and customising the integration of ATR maintenance data into the AMOS software, this partnership will help operators save both time and money.

Fabiano Faccoli, CEO, Swiss-AS said, “We are pleased to sign this partnership with ATR. It represents a step further in supporting operators throughout their digital transformation, making the most of ATR’s expertise as a manufacturer and Swiss-AS’ proficiency in digital maintenance management. This will help them save both time and money.”

Swiss-AS has become a fixture in the MRO software market, combining 30 years of innovation and excellence in the area of IT and aircraft maintenance. Swiss AviationSoftware Ltd. (Swiss-AS) is a 100% subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik and is embedded into their Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem. Profitable from the first day and highly successful over the last years, Swiss-AS has laid the foundation for a trend-setting future by strongly and continuously investing in manpower as well as research and development.

Stefano Marazzani, SVP Customer Support and Services, ATR said, “An aircraft is only valuable when it is flying, which is why, over 20 years, ATR has been helping to increase operators’ fleet time and reduce their costs by optimising maintenance and repair processes. This contributes to making regional air transport more reliable, accessible, and sustainable. Through this joint initiative with Swiss-AS, we continue to innovate and develop solutions through digitalisation to better support our customers in managing their in-service fleet including technical and logistic systems. This partnership will integrate our customers’ requirements in terms of maintenance planning and management with an end-to-end approach to evolve our service and support offering.”
