Commsoft, developers of one of the world’s leading aviation engineering and maintenance systems, is continuing to enjoy significant success with its hosted OASES programme. Three currently unannounced customers, including a regional airline in Europe and two airliner corporate shuttle operators in the U.S.A. have already signed for OASES in 2012, with two having gone live with a total of six aircraft between them.

OASES (Open Aviation Strategic Engineering System) is designed to combine ease of use with a technical sophistication that allows for the full integration of all maintenance and engineering functions, from inventory management and purchasing to defect control and work scheduling. The hosted programme allows smaller airlines, CAMOs and corporate operators to gain access to OASES by removing potentially prohibitive set up costs such as server acquisition and third party licensing. As the operator’s fleet size grows or functional demands increase, it can then transfer easily to a more conventional OASES set up.

Nick Godwin Commsoft’s Managing Director, commented:

“We’re continuing to witness a growing international interest in our hosted OASES programme, confirming our prediction that it would open up a whole new maintenance planning market for OASES amongst smaller operators.”

Fundamental enhanced functions

AMOS 10.00, the latest AMOS version, contains new features and functions that herald a new era in Swiss-AS’ MRO software. It launches the most extensive developments since the conversion from AMOS classic to AMOSNG in 2002. The latest version is the starting point of major developments that will be rolled-out over the next 2-3 releases while also being the cornerstone paving the way for all further software enhancements. The reason for the staggered approach is the magnitude and complexity of some new features. With the latest software release, Swiss-AS introduces numerous functions that are dedicated to the needs of pure MRO providers and represent the AMOS community’s voting in the AMOS Strategic Board (ASB): the new Advanced Planning, the extended rotable control functions, Multi Entity Support to name just a few new or enhanced functions. Besides the enlargement of the functional breadth and depth, the contemporary GUI, the possibility to add desktop widgets, a new desktop background and a cleaner menu and status bar further increase the user-friendliness as well as the look & feel of the MRO software.

Newly developed highlights of AMOS 10.00

• The Multi Entity Support hosts and integrates multiple financially independent companies on one system, allowing airline groups or other aviation companies with subsidiaries in different countries to consolidate all activities in one system but still comply with local regulations.
• In the framework of the new Advanced Planning features, which the AMOS customers ranked as top priority for strategic developments, the Improved Resource Management has been implemented.

Resources can now be planned down to individual work steps that allow a detailed allocation of skills and material in the critical path of any groundtime. In this context, also the introduction of a Central Workstep Repository was realised, which reduces the manual input and facilitates consolidation on the work package level for scheduled and non-routine work.

• The new Maintenance Program structure supports the management of local operator maintenance programs in reference to a centrally managed master program to facilitate full multi operator support.
• Another highlight of the new AMOS release is the integration of the Rule Engine, which allows user definable workflows for complex business rules, e.g. for contract management, financial approval, aircraft configuration management, etc.

About Swiss AviationSoftware and AMOS

AMOS – developed and distributed by Swiss AviationSoftware – is a comprehensive, fully integrated software package that successfully manages the maintenance, engineering and logistics requirements of modern airlines and MRO providers by fulfilling all airworthiness standards. Swiss-AS is a 100% subsidiary of Swiss International Air Lines Ltd., and counts more than 100 customers worldwide to its loyal customer base, including pure operators of all sizes, major low-cost, regional and flag carriers, large airline groups and MRO providers.

The fact that none of them has ever replaced AMOS by another system speaks for itself. Swiss-AS’ AMOS is the industry-leading MRO software in Europe and one of the best-selling solutions world-wide. Swiss-AS has its headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, and is also represented in Miami, FL, USA. SWISS-AS.COM

Charter and ACMI specialist Suckling Airways has joined the family of users of Commsoft’s OASES maintenance management software.

Suckling Airways, who maintain a separate AOC, becomes an OASES user following its acquisition by Loganair, one of Commsoft’s longest-standing customers.

The deal adds Suckling Airways’ six Dorner 328-110 regional turboprop aircraft to the existing Loganair fleet maintained in OASES. The fleet is comprised of primarily Saab 340s, plus Britten Norman Islanders and De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters – for a combined fleet total of 26 aircraft.

Suckling Airways, based at Cambridge Airport, UK, performs ACMI contract work for airlines including Air France / CityJet, Loganair and Direktflyg; has ACMI AOG contracts with carriers including British Airways, SunAir and Blue Islands; and flies to more than 100 ad hoc and seasonal charter destinations each year.  It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Glasgow-based regional airline Loganair but maintains a separate AOC, Part M and Management structure.

Suckling Airways is using the following OASES modules in conjunction with Loganair and the latter’s Part 145 approval:

• Inventory Control & Purchasing
• Electronic Demands
• Reliability, Technical Log Entry & Defect Control
• Workcard Production & Planning
• Technical Records & Forecasting
• Job Scheduler
• Line maintenance control

Nick Godwin, Commsoft Business Development Director said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Suckling Airways into the OASES user community and we’re looking forward to Suckling Airways realising the same operational and cost advantages in their fleet that OASES has provided to Loganair for some years now.”

Suckling Airline exec David Knight said:
“Obtaining access to OASES is exactly the type of operating benefit that we and Loganair are looking for. This is a great opportunity to apply a first class maintenance management tool to the Dornier fleet and capitalise on the efficiency gains that it can bring us.”

BERLIN, 7 August 2012 – Lufthansa Regional partner Augsburg Airways has equipped flight crews of its Embraer 195 aircraft with Pacelab CI OPS, the cost index tool by Berlin-based software provider PACE. Calculating the most economical altitude and speed in any given circumstances, Pacelab CI OPS enables pilots to take direct control of the cost efficiency of their flights. The software not only takes into account current weather conditions, ATC updates and connecting flights but also the unique airline-specific cost structure.

Pacelab CI OPS is deployed on electronic flight bags (EFBs), the mobile computers which are standard equipment of all Augsburg Airways pilots. To ensure a smooth and efficient introduction of the software, PACE closely consulted with IT company aircore_systems, whose framework AS-FlightBag provides the EFB’s operating system. In addition to the application en route, Augsburg Airways also uses Pacelab CI OPS to generate variable speed schedules for CI-optimized flight plans.

Commenting on the introduction of the tool, Frank Joosten, Vice President Flight Operations at Augsburg Airways, said: “Reducing fuel expenses and increasing operational efficiency are important goals. With Pacelab CI OPS, our flight crews can make an active contribution to achieving them.”

The Pacelab CI OPS software was developed in close cooperation with Augsburg’s partner airline Lufthansa CityLine; it is used by the majority of Lufthansa Regional members.

Zurich, Switzerland – 7 August 2012 – Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium has achieved fuel savings of 2.1% in the past 1.5 years. Aviaso software has been supporting Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium in its fuel efficiency improvement program since early 2011. The fuel efficiency software developed by Aviaso provides a full range of data analysis, reporting, and monitoring tools. This helps the Belgian airline to really understand how its fuel is used, to define improvement initiatives, and to monitor the progress of its fuel savings initiatives. 

“Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium had already significantly improved its fuel efficiency in the years before 2011, and if you are on a good level it is not easy to get additional fuel savings. However, in the current economic environment it is key to further reduce fuel costs and at the same time lower the environmental footprint”, says Lode Ketele, general manager of Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium. 

Captain Carl-Philippe Combes, Fuel Specialist at Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium adds: “We realized that we need two things to get our fuel efficiency improvement program to the next level. On the one side we need reliable information on how we really use our fuel, and on the other side, we need to be able to quickly track the progress of our improvement program.” Carl-Philippe Combes continues, “We are very satisfied with the Aviaso software. It gives us the required transparency and it helps us to monitor our fuel conservation initiatives. Additionally, to ‘complete the loop’ so to speak, the software allows us to provide feedback to our crews and ground personnel, which has a strong motivating effect. Already shortly after we had started the implementation in early 2011, we had the software up and running. Now, a good year later, we have improved our fuel efficiency by 2.1%. The Aviaso software supports us with several key performance indicators (KPI) to track the fuel efficiency. The main KPI we use is fuel burn per 100 RPK, which actually improved by a total of 4.5% in the past 1.5 years. In that timeframe, Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium did also adjustments in the network and improved the seat-load factor, which also had a positive effect on the KPI. With the Aviaso software we can analyze the different factors influencing the fuel efficiency and we can clearly allocate which improvements are due to our fuel efficiency program and which are due to other reasons (see attached chart).” 

Rudolf Christen, CEO of Aviaso says: “We are not going to blindly promise 5% or more improvements to an airline. Such improvements are possible, but they depend on the level where an airline starts from. However, our experience with several airlines shows, that it is possible to achieve significant savings even if an airline already starts at a high level.” Rudolf Christen adds: “Nowadays, many airlines have already ‘picked the low-hanging fruit’ and have implemented the obvious initiatives. The key to further savings is to really understand the factors influencing the fuel consumption. This means being smart with your fuel-relevant data. Typically, the data required for the fuel efficiency program is available somewhere in the different IT systems of an airline. The challenge is to identify in which IT system the data is stored and how to retrieve it.”
