Wizz Air has announced a strategic partnership with Aerogility, a provider of AI-based digital twin solutions, to enhance its long-term heavy base maintenance planning.
As Wizz Air prepares for significant fleet expansion over the next five years, it will utilise Aerogility's model-based artificial intelligence to efficiently integrate new aircraft while optimising maintenance for its existing and future fleet. The technology allows Wizz Air to anticipate maintenance needs even for aircraft not yet in service, supporting smarter and more agile operational planning.
Aerogility will create a digital twin of Wizz Air's full maintenance operation, generating accurate and predictive forecasts by analysing aircraft utilisation, operational constraints and resource availability. This data-driven approach will be integrated into Wizz Air's existing AMOS platform, enabling the airline to schedule heavy base maintenance activities, such as C and D checks and powerplant servicing, at the most efficient times. This proactive planning aims to reduce maintenance-related downtime and costs, while ensuring high levels of aircraft availability and operational performance.
Adrian Lecea, Long Term Planning Manager, Wizz Air, says, “Considering Wizz actual fleet of more than 200 aircraft, and with the plan of duplicating the fleet size over the next five years, the need for sophisticated maintenance planning solutions becomes increasingly vital. Not only does Aerogility provide crucial insight into current fleet planning and maintenance, but its solutions also permits us to plan our future fleet across a decade, ensuring our MRO capacity planning and fleet availability. The advanced AI platform will allow us to simulate planning and multiple maintenance scenarios, ensuring that decisions are made with the highest level of accuracy and foresight.”
The partnership arrives at a critical moment as Wizz Air continues its rapid expansion and prepares to meet rising passenger demand. By deploying Aerogility's intelligent forecasting and planning capabilities, Wizz Air is reinforcing its commitment to safety, sustainability, and operational excellence, while effectively managing the lifecycle of its growing fleet.
