Porter Airlines is among the fastest-growing carriers in North America and operates a mixed fleet of more than 70 De Havilland Dash 8-400 turboprops and Embraer E195-E2 jets. With growth accelerating and a strong passenger-first service proposition, high levels of operational reliability are business-critical. To support its long-term strategy, Porter embarked on a comprehensive modernisation of its maintenance and engineering operations, centred on a fully integrated digital solution.
At the heart of this transformation is AMOS, the maintenance and engineering platform developed by Swiss-AS, complemented by mobile applications and selected components from the AMOS Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem. Together, these tools provide a single, connected environment to manage end-to-end technical operations.
Porter selected AMOS in 2021 as the core system for its technical organisation, with a clear objective: to replace fragmented tools and paper-based processes with a consistent, integrated platform covering planning, execution, compliance and continuous improvement. Today, AMOSdesktop underpins maintenance control, engineering, planning, stores and purchasing activities across the airline.
To extend these capabilities to the operational frontline, Porter deployed AMOSmobile/EXEC with electronic signatures, giving engineers and mechanics real-time access to work packages, task cards and electronic work instructions directly at the aircraft. The consistent user interface across desktop and mobile applications has reduced training requirements and enabled rapid user adoption across teams.
Building on this foundation, Porter continues to expand its digital maintenance environment to further enhance efficiency, transparency and regulatory compliance. The introduction of AMOSeTL, the electronic technical logbook fully integrated with AMOS, has replaced paper-based defect recording and aircraft release processes. Data flows directly into the system, reducing handovers, minimising errors and providing a complete, auditable record.
In parallel, AMOS Line Maintenance Manager (LMM) delivers advanced planning and optimisation, with automated task assignment and real-time workload visibility supporting faster turnarounds and improved decision-making during disruptions. Component shop modules add structured oversight of internal and external components, strengthening planning reliability and compliance.
Looking ahead, the planned integration of flydocs’ Lifecycle Asset Management will further enhance document control, audit readiness and asset visibility, supporting effective fleet management and lease return requirements.
