is their MRO operation. Traditionally,
this has involved a slow, largely manual
planning process with too many
spreadsheets and taking too much time.
It’s an approach that’s no longer fit for

Civil aircraft cost millions to purchase or lease
and maintain over decades of operational life.
But until now, predicting future maintenance
and engineering requirements for a fleet of
aircraft has been a difficult, time-consuming
challenge — and very easy to get wrong.

Today’s fleet managers and planners must
resolve future uncertainty and create accurate
forecasts. They must optimize maintenance and
