Air Algérie and ATR have signed a contract for the first Digital Maintenance Documentation package, which will further strengthen Air Algérie’s maintenance documentation system and optimise maintenance and engineering operations for its fleet of 15 ATR aircraft.

Under the three-year contract, ATR will provide raw data of line maintenance publications in XML format to be uploaded to Air Algérie’s Maintenance Information System via AMOS. With the Digital Maintenance Documentation package, Air Algérie will save on time and costs, improve safety and compliance, shorten revision and preparation of processes, improve information consistency across aircraft manuals and automate revision tracking and document control.

“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,” said Laid Bouchama, Technical Director, Air Algérie. “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 services.”

“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,” said Stefano Marazzani, SVP Customer Support and Services, ATR. “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.”
