JetSMART goes live with AMOS

At a glance

  1. – JetSMART live with AMOS Airline edition, including AMOSmobile/EXEC 
  2. – Argentina and Peru subsidiaries’ operations also running in AMOS
  3. – AMOS hosted on Google Cloud with a noVPN setup successfully deployed 

Swiss-AS is very proud to welcome a new member in the AMOS customer community: The Chilean airline JetSMART is now live with AMOS.

Multi-Operator benefits 

As an ultra-low-cost company – “Lowest cost Wins!”  being one of their mottos – JetSMART outsource most of their operation (including CAMO and maintenance) as part of their ULC strategy. To fulfil their business strategy of ultra-low-cost, AMOS has been recognized as an all-round solution that will support JetSMART to optimize their costs while keeping their rapidly growing fleet of 23 new aircraft, composed of A320 NEOs and CEOs, at the highest safety standards. Although their main base of operation is in Chile, they also have operations in Argentina and in Peru. A key benefit for JetSMART is the multi-operator maintenance program capabilities of AMOS, as all three operators access the same database, while this one source of data will facilitate the communication and collaboration of the three different operators.

Project scope

The initial go-live targeted the Peru operations, followed with Argentina’s and Chile’s operation running in AMOS from the end of February and beginning of March respectively. After a kick-off in June 2022, the project team focused on core business processes allowing JetSMART to manage their planning, maintenance, engineering and procurement needs in AMOS after a 7-month implementation project. 

Thanks to the big efforts from the JetSMART staff in close cooperation with the Aircraft Engineering Services team from Lufthansa Technik, which after go-live takes over CAMO services for JetSMART, Swiss-AS managed to migrate the full set of data that will allow JetSMART to smoothly operate AMOS.

As part of the AMOS Airline Edition, core APIs like Transfer Executed Flights and Transfer Workorder have already been implemented, allowing AMOS to receive flights and export deferred items to JetSMART systems and dashboards. With AMOS, JetSMART now owns and controls their data and can grow the interoperability of AMOS within the ecosystem of JetSMART. The complete data integration provided by AMOS allows JetSMART to have a complete, up to date, and real time forecast of maintenance events. 

AMOSmobile/EXEC will also be part of the project scope for future implementations following GoLive, allowing JetSMART to save on costs and paper thanks to optimized mobile processes. 

We are pleased that once again, the cooperation between the Engineering Services team from Lufthansa Technik and Swiss-AS has proven to create and will continue to create added value in this business context as well as with other common customers. The biggest part of the project was performed remotely, integrating a highly diverse team of people working in different time zones including Germany, Miami, Argentina, and Peru. There will be continuous support provided to JetSMART in the post-go-live phase to allow JetSMART to increase their adoption of AMOS (after having initially focused on the core processes) and to exhaust the full potential of AMOS.

Hosting on Google Cloud deployed with noVPN

In addition to the standard set-up, JetSMART have opted for Swiss-AS providing cloud hosting services with a noVPN solution. JetSMART is the very first customer of Swiss-AS to successfully go live with a noVPN solution, allowing JetSMART AMOS users to connect to AMOS from anywhere with a reverse Proxy. This is part of a hybrid solution, in which they also have the possibility of connecting to their cloud with a VPN as a backup. No changes were required on the JetSMART side to use the noVPN access. Since noVPN has been deployed, users are experiencing a huge improvement in latency which causes AMOS to feel fast and responsive. This solution also enables fast deployment of AMOS to end- users’ clients (only a zip containing the AMOS client). 

“Our cooperation with Swiss-AS during the implementation of AMOS was excellent because they have understood our ULCC business model and have worked like a key partner in this project that will allow JetSMART to increase the efficiency of the engineering and maintenance organization by using state of the art technology”, commented Estuardo Ortiz, CEO of JetSMART Airlines. 

About JetSMART:

Founded in 2016, JetSMART Airlines is a South American ultra-low-cost carrier created by US private investment fund Indigo Partners, which also controls low-cost carriers like US airline Frontier Airlines, Mexico’s Volaris and Hungary’s Wizz Air.

Etihad Airways Digital Technical Operations powered by AMOSmobile/EXEC

At a glance

  • – AMOSmobile/EXEC as key player in achieving digital transformation goals
  • – Effortless implementation by Etihad’s AMOS Competence Centre
  • – Next digitalization step to come is the introduction of e-signature

Swiss-AS is delighted to share that Etihad Airways Technical, the airline’s engineering & maintenance organisation opted for the integrated mobile solution AMOSmobile/EXEC to enable mobile execution of all its line and light base maintenance activities. Their digitalisation vision is to lead the industry and their strategy is in line with the market’s growing interest for technological improvements and optimisation of operational efficiency. Swiss-AS is proud to participate, together with Etihad, to these accomplishments.

Long-term digitalisation project in full swing

It has been 2 years since Etihad Airways Technical has successfully implemented a single maintenance information system, AMOS for its entire fleet to digitise and automate the airline’s engineering and maintenance activities. 

The recent rollout of AMOSmobile/EXEC marks a new milestone in the digital transformation journey of Etihad Airways Technical as they move forward with their digitisation journey and sustainable technological solutions to enhance safety performance, drive operational efficiencies, and ensure optimal financial performance.

AMOSmobile/EXEC to bring efficiency and cost savings

AMOSmobile/EXEC has been rolled out to about 1,000 engineers and technicians at Etihad’s home base in Abu Dhabi, UAE with approximately 100 iPads available to be used in line and light maintenance operations, to update AMOS with executed maintenance work without the need to travel back and forth between the aircraft and the office. 

This supports smoother and more streamlined processes and is a key enabler to Etihad Technical’s paperless maintenance strategy.

The daily working processes and the efficiency of the engineers and technicians will drastically improve as they move from paper-based processes to a fully integrated collaboration with AMOS providing live data. 

Etihad is also eager to implement paperless operations to make AMOSmobile/EXEC deliver its full value and get the full benefit of its platform allowing the airline to go fully paperless: Mechanics will have the possibility to open and close work orders from their tablet, track events, perform troubleshooting or report defects on the aircraft in AMOSmobile, ultimately improving efficiencies and productivity whilst ensuring they continue to improve safety and compliance.

“Etihad is continuously exploring new ways to enhance its operations and provide its guests and its employees with world-class services and processes. Our strategic partners and stakeholders play a vital role in this venture, and Swiss-AS have been a valuable partner in our digitalisation agenda. Our most recent implementation of AMOSmobile is another example of how we are leveraging innovative technologies to enhance operational efficiencies”.

Paul Kear, Senior Vice President Technical at Etihad Airways

The implementation was completed with very little involvement from Swiss-AS’ project team as Etihad Airways’ team has a well-rounded experience of AMOS and counts among Swiss-AS long-term partners. AMOSmobile/EXEC has been live since the end of 2022.

About Etihad Airways

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, was formed in 2003 and quickly went on to become one of the world’s leading airlines. From its home in Abu Dhabi, Etihad flies to passenger and cargo destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.

Condor goes live with CrossConsense’s LBA approved Aircraft Fleet View 2.0

Condor Flugdienst GmbH went live with Aircraft Fleet View 2.0 – a Native App that gives the user an always up-to-date view on the airline’s fleet status. It indicates AOGs, delays and other important information. It provides the right level of detail to be useful but not crowded with information. A new feature is the CAMO Release to Service. This enables a guided workflow involving the commander and the CAMO for releasing the aircraft prior to each flight. Recently, the LBA (German Federal Aviation Authority) granted Condor approval to use the CAMO Release Tool.

At Condor, Aircraft Fleet View will be used by pilots as well as by the management. It is meant for everyone who wants to get a general overview over the status of the fleet. Users who do not have the time or the knowledge to dive deeply into the MRO backend system will be presented with the most important information regarding a single aircraft, a range of aircraft or the whole fleet.

Aircraft Fleet View sends push notifications, e.g. when CAMO in its browser based application gives the “Release to Service” or if an AOG happened.

Patrick Frey, Fleet Chief Boeing at Condor Flugdienst GmbH says:

The Aircraft Fleet View has been developed with focus on the needs of a dynamic airline operation. It enables Condor to remove old fashioned, static PDF Technical Status Reports from the briefing package and replace it with an interactive live view of the aircraft technical status.

Our pilots are able to access fleet wide data to familiarize themselves with the current technical status of their assigned aircraft. This enables better decision making, both safety and economy wise, even before arriving at the aircraft. The Aircraft Fleet View CAMO Release function enables a direct communication between Maintrol personnel and the flight crew. This ensures that all required maintenance documentation is available and checked prior releasing an aircraft for operation. Receiving post-flight information by the pilots, via the application, enables Condor to better coordinate maintenance services and prioritize maintenance service to aircraft with technical defects.

About CrossConsense:

Founded in 2002, Frankfurt Germany-based CrossConsense offers its customers in the commercial aviation industry, highly skilled services, designed to buttress their productivity and uptime performance, based on sound knowledge in the areas of maintenance, engineering and logistical support. CrossConsense maintains a staff of 24 dedicated, experienced, and motivated team workers.

Personalize IT with Lido mPilot 6.3

The customizable Lido mPilot 6.3 is here! With this much-anticipated version, customers can look forward to a number of new features, including company layers, company airport classification, expired weather, and more.


The all-new company layers module allows you to create and manage content as you desire, such as security airspaces, decompression procedures, or escape routes, which is then displayable on the Lido mPilot enroute map. Company layers are created by the airline administrator via the Lido Web Portal, and the result can be made available to your pilots on Lido mPilot instantly after publishing. Pilots are able to easily browse the layers via the new CPMY section and conveniently toggle the company layer visibility on their devices. It is also possible to show expired company layers, as well as to show company layers with an effective date in the future, in the enroute map.

Airlines are now also able to define the company airport classification for their particular fleet(s) via the Lido Web Portal. The defined airport classification can then be sent to Lido mPilot and visualized over the enroute map.

With the extension of the URL scheme, airlines are now able to open a chart, as a popover, directly from 3rd party applications. This allows pilots to redirect more efficiently to specific chart content within Lido mPilot.

The most recent addition to Lido’s weather module is the expired weather depiction. This features enables the display of expired weather phenomena in the enroute map for users with no data connectivity. Should the weather data expire, it can still be displayed with a clearly identifiable pattern.

In addition to these new features, there have been a number of enhancements to existing features with this new release of Lido mPilot. You can look forward to the improved annotation feature on terminal charts, the ability to change the orientation of the airport moving map (AMM) from the true north to magnetic north, an increased prominence of tropical cyclone and volcanic icons, among others.

Contact your Lido customer support for more detailed information and stay tuned for updates on lhsystems.com and on LinkedIn.
