Algerian carrier Air Algérie and regional aircraft manufacturer ATR, have signed the first digital maintenance documentation package to further strengthen the airline's maintenance documentation system and optimise the maintenance and engineering operations for its fleet of 15 ATR aircraft.
A new service provided by ATR to its operators, this three-year digital maintenance documentation contract sees providing customers with raw data of line maintenance publications in XML format, to be uploaded into the airline's maintenance information system via ‘AMOS', the comprehensive solution designed by Swiss-AS to optimise the digitalisation of airline maintenance management.
Through this three-party cooperation and innovative service, Air Algérie will benefit from both time and costs savings and improved safety and compliance. The airline will be able to shorten revision processes, make the distribution of publications swifter and paperless, reduce preparation time for maintenance checks, standardise the structure and format of its documentation, improve information consistency across all aircraft manuals, automate revision tracking and document control, therefore saving time while preparing regulatory audits.
Laid Bouchama, Technical Director of Air Algérie said: “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. 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 service.”
