ABOUT SAMCO AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE

SAMCO Aircraft Maintenance, established in 1988, is an independent third party maintenance provider for a complete range of regional jet and turboprop aircraft.

SAMCO facility is located in the heart of Europe, at Maastricht Airport in the South of The Netherlands. This base supports a wide range of aircraft maintenance activities varying from heavy base-maintenance checks, line-maintenance, CAMO approved Continuing Airworthiness services, logistic support, asset and maintenance management to EASA Part 21 approved design changes.

2MoRO is proud to announce that its Aero-Webb® web software suite 6.0, dedicated to the optimization of maintenance activities (fleet tracking, configuration control, inspection and decision making, planning and execution of maintenance tasks, …), has successfully passed the certification test JAVA-EE-NW 7.3 provided by SAP® and, therefore, received the “SAP Certified – Powered by SAP NetWeaver” logo.

SAP® is the leader of the ERP (Entreprise Resource Planning) software provider and thousands of Aviation companies in the world are using its standard functionalities. This certification confirms that all the rules and good development practices established by SAP® were followed to ensure both a standardized integration of Aero-Webb® with SAP® and an optimum use of the SAP® NetWeaver Web server.

Aero-Webb® was designed to complete this ERP with standard & user-oriented MRO functionalities. This new certification illustrates the 2MoRO commitments to the SAP® Aviation community. The SAP® users can now take advantage of the latest Aero-Webb® off-the-shelf modules rather than spending time and money to complete SAP® by developing specific additional functionalities or complex interfaces with other MRO software.

The Aero-Webb® connectivity cockpit also enables the connection with numerous other Information Systems (MIS, Flight Schedules, ERP, PLM, …) and is helpful for data migration phases. For all these reasons, certain customers have chosen Aero-Webb® even if they are not using the SAP® ERP.

Guildford, UK, 30 January 2014 – Private and commercial pilots now have a low-cost, complementary tool for flight planning and situational awareness with RocketRoute’s launch of ‘World Airways’, the first iPad app to display the entire global airway network.

With World Airways, pilots can view all airways worldwide in the palm of their hand and zoom-in to examine airways right down to town level. On a GPS-enabled iPad, users can also use the app to monitor the track, speed and altitude of their own flight. World Airways is fully updated with each Aeronautical Information Regulation and Control (AIRAC) cycle.

Uwe Nitsche, Co-founder, RocketRoute, says: “World Airways is a great companion tool for airline, business and private pilots. Using RocketRoute’s comprehensive airways database, the app is an affordable and convenient reference tool and a great addition to a pilot’s flight planning toolkit. With the compact dimension of the iPad, World Airways is also a great way to enhance situational awareness in the cockpit.”

At its low introductory price, World Airways significantly undercuts the cost of conventional digital airways products. The app showcases the data and processing power at the heart of RocketRoute’s next-generation flight planning software, which routinely manages hundreds of thousands of data elements to identify the optimal routes for pilots to fly through the world’s airways network.

As well as being a practical tool for pilots, World Airways can be used to educate and entertain other users interested in the global airways network, including air passengers, training establishments and aviation enthusiasts.

Nitsche continues: “The worldwide airways network is breathtaking in its scope and complexity, with thousands of changes occurring daily. The scale of this achievement is clearly presented though World Airways, which offers a fresh and involving perspective on how millions of passengers are transported around the globe each day.”

World Airways is available from the iTunes store (search “RocketRoute Airways”) at an introductory price of just $9.99 for 12 months’ usage, including all AIRAC cycle updates. A free trial version will be released shortly.

AMOS making headway in Japan

Swiss-AS, in cooperation with Lufthansa Systems, are proud to announce that the airlines Japan Transocean Air (JTA), J-AIR and Ryukyu Air Commuter (RAC) have chosen AMOS as their joint aircraft maintenance management software.

“We are delighted to add JTA, J-AIR and RAC to our loyal customer base. This marks a mutual success for our close cooperation with Lufthansa Systems in the Asia-Pacific region,” states Ronald Schaeuffele, CEO of Swiss-AS.

AMOS has been represented in Singapore since April 2013. In cooperation with Lufthansa Systems, an AMOS business unit has been set up in Singapore to better reach customers in the Asia-Pacific region. The partnership has proven its worth during the common pre-sales phase and will certainly add value in the AMOS implementation process.

Regional airlines to jointly use AMOS

The three airlines, all subsidiaries of Japan Airlines, have decided to implement and use AMOS jointly in a single system environment to exploit synergy effects within the group. The project has kicked off in January 2014 with the aim of having AMOS up and running approximately twelve months thereafter.

“For the purpose of improving both efficiency and quality, we decided to make use of common maintenance management system among JTA, J-AIR and RAC. We are absolutely delighted to have an indispensable system as AMOS. It is of the utmost importance that we implement the cutting-edge system. Now, we can set sail for success in our business. Let’s join forces,” said Yoshinobu Oshiro, Executive Officer of Maintenance, JTA.

“With the introduction of AMOS that is actually used in operators all over the world, more improvement of operational quality as well as efficiency than ever is expected in our company,” said Koichi Yamamoto, Managing Director of Maintenance, RAC.

And Yasuhiro Takebayashi, Director of Maintenance, J-AIR, said “In order to grow further as a regional airline even in the situation of severe competition between airlines in Japan, J-AIR decided to introduce a state-of-the-art tool for aircraft maintenance to ensure more efficiency and safety.

As a result of careful consideration, AMOS turned out to be exactly what we’re looking for. By co-introducing AMOS with JTA and RAC, I also expect synergies of increasing the overall strength of the JAL Group.”

The project team is staffed by employees from the three airlines and the main project activities will take place in Okinawa. The key challenges are expected to be data cleansing and conversion from several legacy sources, as well as modelling and harmonisation of the desired joint processes. Backed by 25 years of experience in the domain of AMOS implementations, Swiss-AS looks forward to tackling the challenges we will face, and support the airlines in deploying AMOS.

For Commsoft, a world leader in aviation engineering and maintenance systems, 2013 was a year in which the international demand for its Open Aviation Strategic Engineering System (OASES) continued to grow.

In March, the Ukrainian charter airline, WINDROSE Airlines, signed a 5 year contract with Commsoft for the use of OASES to support its fleet of four Airbus A321 and four Airbus A320 airliners. 

July saw Falko Regional Aircraft Limited, a market-leading asset manager in the regional aircraft arena, opt for OASES to support its growing portfolio of leased aircraft. Falko began using the system immediately, within Commsoft’s hosted environment, to support its fleet of BAe146/Avro RJ aircraft

In the same month, Airclaims, an existing Commsoft client, signed a 6-month contract with Hi Fly Malta to provide CAMO support – using OASES – for one of the airline’s A340-600s.

Two major deals with existing Commsoft clients were agreed in September. In the first, Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group, who have strong UK MoD links, signed a new 12 month, 5 concurrent user contract to support the planned expansion of its CAMO services.

In the second, Blue Air AMS, the Romanian low-cost airline, signed a new 5 year contract for the ongoing use of OASES to maintain its fleet of Boeing 737s. As part of the deal, Commsoft’s own Bucharest-based implementation team were contracted to support Blue Air AMS in the airline’s planned migration to the latest AMP and AD/SB software. 

October saw Pentastar Aviation, providers of comprehensive management services for a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 configured for a luxury business shuttle service, become the launch customer for the hosted version of Commsoft’s OASES. Pentastar, were also Commsoft’s second U.S.-based customer.

In the same month, Commsoft signed a new 3 year contract with NextJet, one of Sweden’s largest domestic airlines, to support its fleet of 10 SAAB 340 aircraft. The contract also made provision for NextJet to link with the PDC operations system interface.

Cardiff Aviation, founded in 2012 by senior aviation manager and entrepreneur Mario Fulgoni and Bruce Dickinson, vocalist with rock band Iron Maiden, selected OASES to support its CAMO and MRO operations and, in November, signed a 5 year, deal with Commsoft. Cardiff Aviation’s clients include a range of national carriers and independent airline companies.

December saw Commsoft add Nigerian airline, Arik Air, to its growing customer list in a 5 year, deal. The airline will develop its internal CAMO capabilities, using OASES to cover its fleet, including Airbus A330-200s, Boeing 737s, Bombardier CRJ-900s and Dash 8 Q400s.

December saw the successful implementation and commencement of live OASES operations by Mesa, the Portuguese aircraft line maintenance provider to support a fleet of Airbus A310, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340 aircraft. 

Deals were also concluded with three aviation technical bureaux / CAMOs, which are a prime target for Commsoft’s hosted OASES system. These included UK-based technical consultants GGAC and RTTS, together with a new Croatian CAMO, AvioCATS, which has a contract to support SAFI Airways in Afghanistan using OASES and is in discussions with other prospective clients in the Gulf Region.

Nick Godwin, MD of Commsoft, commented: “Looking back over 2013, we have good reason to be proud of our achievements. The OASES user base continued to grow as we introduced new functionality and services, so our existing clients continued to show their confidence in us by renewing and extending their contracts. We’re all set for an even more exciting 2014 and plan to announce some new technical developments”.
