ATR and Swiss-AS have announced a new partnership to develop the digitalisation of airline maintenance management, using the most efficient software tailored to airlines’ needs and operational constraints.

The industry-first partnership between the aircraft manufacturer and MRO software company will see the partners collaborate to improve and customise the integration of ATR maintenance data into the AMOS software provided by Swiss-AS to ATR operators.

Fabiano Faccoli, CEO, Swiss-AS, said he is looking forward to the new partnership: “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.”

During the partnership, ATR will spearhead the utilisation of S1000D for the Maintenance Documents. Additionally, Swiss-AS’ AMOS software will be able to induct from ATR AMM, AWM, ESPM, IPC, TSM AND MEL in S1000D seamlessly.

In the future, the partnership will develop to include the integration of the Operator Maintenance Program via S1000D CAMO engineers; production planners and engineers; maintenance controllers; and troubleshooters, who will benefit from both the integration of AMOSdesktop and AMOSmobile/EXEC.

“Through this joint initiative with Swiss-AS, we continue to innovate and develop our solutions through digitalisation to better support our customers in managing their in-service fleet, including technical and logistic systems,” said Stefano Marazzani, SVP Customer Support and Services, ATR. “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.”
