Delta TechOps, the maintenance division of Delta Air Lines, has selected Trax, the aviation maintenance software subsidiary of AAR, to overhaul its legacy maintenance and engineering systems. This strategic move marks a significant step in Delta's commitment to modernising its technical operations and improving overall efficiency across its maintenance network.
Trax will provide its advanced eMRO and eMobility solutions to replace outdated systems. Initially, over 6,000 technicians within Delta TechOps' line maintenance network will benefit from these new tools, which are designed to digitise and streamline maintenance tasks. This implementation is expected to boost data accuracy, operational performance, and technician efficiency.
Following this initial rollout, Delta and Trax plan to expand the use of the system further, incorporating additional eMRO modules and eMobility applications. These future deployments will focus on critical areas such as heavy maintenance, planning, engineering and quality management. All solutions will be hosted on the fully managed Trax Cloud platform, ensuring seamless scalability and robust data integration.
The collaboration represents a broader trend in the aviation industry, as major airlines increasingly turn to digital platforms to handle the complexities of fleet maintenance. John M. Holmes, AAR's Chairman, President and CEO, noted that AAR's investments in Trax have positioned the company to support some of the world's largest and most diverse fleets. He expressed gratitude to Delta for choosing Trax to lead its system modernisation.
John Laughter, President of Delta TechOps, echoed this sentiment, stating, “We are confident Trax will enhance our operational efficiency by streamlining maintenance processes across Delta TechOps, enabling our people to focus on delivering the Delta Difference.”
