JetBlue becomes launch customer of Airbus' “Maintenance Mobility”

JetBlue has become the launch customer for Airbus’ “Maintenance Mobility” offering, following a contract signed with Airbus. Maintenance Mobility allows the airline mechanics to have all the technical information they need on iPads. Maintenance Mobility is one of several services in the Smarter Fleet cloud-based services platform developed by Airbus in partnership with IBM. The agreement with JetBlue covers the integration of the Maintenance Mobility services into the airline’s maintenance information system (MIS), as well as the software and data hosting over a five-year servicing period. The deployment will be accomplished step-by-step with Airbus experts working on-site with JetBlue in order to spread the integration and manage change gradually. For mechanics it enables them to access information needed to perform the turnaround, such as task cards or real-time access to aircraft maintenance messages. It also include an e-Doc browser for access to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM), Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC) or Minimum Equipment List (MEL) from a mobile device.
