Air India has selected Swiss-AS‘ AMOS as its comprehensive maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) software solution to maintain high reliability in aircraft operations amid significant fleet expansion and connectivity growth. The cloud-based AMOS system, developed by Swiss AviationSoftware (Swiss-AS), will streamline the management of maintenance logistics and compliance for Air India’s rapidly growing fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft. This includes the historic order of 470 new aircraft, alongside the addition of 36 leased aircraft last year and the integration of 70 Vistara planes by November 2024.
AMOS will enable Air India to manage maintenance and engineering logistics more efficiently by using real-time data across several functions, including supplies and spare parts inventory, facility utilisation, and resource allocation at its engineering and maintenance facilities worldwide. Through AMOSmobile, mechanics will have instant mobile access to the AMOS system, allowing them to digitally record maintenance activities, view 3-D graphics, and e-sign reports, effectively creating a paperless workflow. The AMOSmobile/STORES add-on will allow store personnel to carry out inventory tasks entirely via mobile devices, eliminating the need for desktop access or physical paperwork, significantly improving process efficiency on the ground.
Additionally, the AMOScloud hosting services will enhance data access and system integration across Air India’s expanding fleet, facilitating seamless collaboration between engineering teams and providing real-time updates on resource distribution. This robust cloud-based infrastructure is essential for Air India to handle its increasing fleet size and support efficient, coordinated planning and execution of maintenance activities.
Air India’s experience with AMOS software will also accelerate data migration and the in-house AMOS training programme, ensuring that the system is up and running quickly and efficiently. The first phase of AMOS implementation for the Air India Group, supporting 300 wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, is scheduled to go live in November 2024. By the end of November, Vistara’s 63 Airbus and seven Boeing aircraft will be fully integrated, enhancing operational capacity and ensuring the effective maintenance of the expanded fleet as Air India continues to strengthen its position in the global aviation market.
