Flybe appoints Swiss-AS for new MRO software
The comprehensive AMOS system is expected to take between 12-15 months to implement and will incorporate business process mapping, ‘gap’ analysis, data migration, key-user workshops and key and end-user staff training for 600 potential users through a mix of; web-based, on-the-job and classroom training. It will greatly improve Flybe’s current and somewhat fragmented in-house built legacy system and leverage greater efficiencies and cost savings to enhance further the competitive advantage of Europe’s largest regional airline MRO facility.
John Palmer, Managing Director Flybe Aviation Support, says: “For some years, there has been an aspiration for Flybe Aviation Services and Flybe UK to have an Engineering & MRO system that can be used to leverage and exploit technological advances and in turn also satisfy our business and regulatory requirements. We are therefore extremely pleased that we have concluded this agreement with Swiss-AS to implement AMOS that is being designed to satisfy the diverse and individual demands of the 20 divisional units that comprise our engineering facility.”
The Swiss-AS AMOS system is a market leader in Engineering & MRO software and, FAA and EASA compliant, is fully integrated and is being continually developed to meet the needs of its customers.
Swiss-AS CEO, Ronald Schaeuffele, adds: “We are honoured to have been awarded this prestigious contract to implement AMOS for Flybe that will also play a key role in supporting its planned fleet expansion. Due to the incorporation of best practice processes and the business experience of more than 20 years, AMOS and the Swiss-AS project staff will substantially support these expansion plans.”
Mr Palmer said: “We’ve established a close working relationship with Swiss-AS during the AMOS evaluation process in ensuring it can provide the company with the best-fit for improving our current ageing systems and realise improved efficiencies and potential cost savings. We look forward to embedding this advanced and comprehensive system into our operations to enhance our competitive edge in the global marketplace by providing the widest range possible of cost-efficient, value for money maintenance services to our expanding list of high profile global clients.”
