Latvia's airBaltic Officially Launches AMOS Maintenance and Engineering Management System

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 11, Latvian airline airBaltic announced that it has completed the deployment of the AMOS aircraft maintenance and engineering management system, which was officially put into operation in November 2026. The new system was developed by Swiss aviation software company Swiss Aviation Software (Swiss-AS) and integrates aircraft maintenance planning and execution, fleet engineering management, spare parts inventory, procurement logistics, and maintenance resource management, covering the daily work of approximately 600 employees in the company's technical department.

This system switch replaces airBaltic's previous maintenance management platform. The new system centrally manages data that was previously scattered across different business processes, covering aircraft maintenance task scheduling, maintenance records, aircraft configuration, spare parts inventory, and resource allocation. Maintenance management personnel can query aircraft technical status, maintenance task execution, and parts usage information on a unified platform, reducing duplicate data entry and manual data transfer between different departments.

AMOS links aircraft maintenance task scheduling with actual execution records, making it easier for the technical department to track maintenance work progress, personnel resource allocation, and spare parts requirements. The system can also record the costs associated with maintenance activities, creating linked data among maintenance tasks, parts consumption, and related expenditures, providing a basis for maintenance budgeting and cost accounting. Some management tasks that previously required manual work in the legacy system will also be transferred to automated processes.

The project implementation took approximately two years, with the formal implementation phase beginning in October 2024. During this period, airBaltic organized participation from its technical, information technology, finance, and flight operations departments in the system switch, with more than 100 employees cumulatively involved. In addition to software deployment, the implementation work also included legacy system data cleansing and migration, re-engineering of technical processes, and upgrades to supporting information technology infrastructure. The project was supported by Swiss-AS for system support, with AFRY, Axiom Group, and EXSYN participating in process development, project management, and data migration, respectively.

Following the go-live of the new system, the workflows of approximately 600 technical department employees and related financial accounting personnel were affected. Maintenance personnel, engineering management personnel, and spare parts management personnel can access relevant information through the unified data platform, while the finance department can track maintenance activities and their costs in greater detail. Unlike a simple replacement of maintenance software, this implementation also involved adjustments to maintenance business processes, data structures, and interdepartmental workflow interfaces.

Going forward, airBaltic plans to further develop a mobile application that will enable maintenance technicians to view technical documentation, maintenance tasks, and spare parts information on the aircraft site via tablet computers. The company also plans to gradually introduce paperless management functions such as electronic maintenance documents and electronic aircraft technical logs. AMOS also has the capability to support third-party customer maintenance and aviation component repair operations, and airBaltic will evaluate the potential for expanding into related business areas in the future.
