Canadian low-fare carrier WestJet has moved to a paperless maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solution provided by Trax, a US-based supplier of aviation maintenance mobile and cloud products.
The airline has implemented the company’s web-based eMRO product and multiple eMobility apps hosted on the Trax Cloud environment.
WestJet said the move will improve its offline working experience and add efficiencies to its workstreams.
“With the technical aspects managed by Trax Cloud hosting, WestJet can focus on what we do best – maintaining our fleet, flying, and successfully serving our customer base,” said Gandeephan Ganeshalingam, Vice President of Technical Operations at WestJet.
eMRO is a device-agnostic, web-based application that offers a maintenance and engineering system with an integrated information flow, allowing its users to stay connected from any work location.
The system combines with mobile apps to enable users to remotely access required documentation and electronic data, view assigned maintenance tasks, receive real-time updates on planned and completed work, and use integrated materials modules.
WestJet opted for Trax’s QuickTurn, TaskControl, and Line Control apps as part of the transition.
“The implementation of additional Trax solutions will enable us to stay focused on quality and compliance while further modernising our operation,” said Ganeshalingam.
