JAL set out to transition from on-premise systems to a cloud-based platform designed for long-term scalability, not just to serve a single function but to support future growth across the business and aims to use the IFS solution to enhance aircraft quality and operational availability.
 
An aviation maintenance specialist from the IFS Aerospace and Defence division, with experience in deployments at other leading organisations, has travelled to Japan to work closely with JAL’s maintenance and IT departments. Together, they will conduct a detailed assessment of operational alignment with IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance, with the goal of full implementation.
