THE CHALLENGE
How to Maximize Aircraft Utilization
In a highly competitive and heavily regulated industry, airlines must maximize the utilization of their aircraft while ensuring safety, compliance, and profitability. It costs airlines money every minute a plane is parked at a gate out of service or remains in a hanger overnight for maintenance. Technicians need to stay productive and turn around aircrafts with speed, accuracy, and efficiency. But how can you do it with the numerous airplane configurations and tons of technical data?
THE SOLUTION
