• AMOSeTL fully deployed across the SunExpress fleet after a staggered rollout that began in January 2025
• Over 101,000 flights logged during the parallel run phase, paving the way for confident transition to paperless operations
• Successful two-year collaboration between SunExpress and Swiss-AS shaped the product from early development to authority approval and go-live

Swiss AviationSoftware (Swiss-AS) is pleased to announce that SunExpress, a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, has successfully gone live with AMOSeTL, the fully integrated Electronic Tech Log solution within AMOS. This milestone marks the culmination of an intensive two-year collaboration, with SunExpress being not only the launch customer but also as a strategic development partner contributing to the product’s refinement.

Since the initial development phase of AMOSeTL in 2022, SunExpress has actively participated in workshops, demos, and feedback sessions, contributing valuable insights that helped shape the product. The airline’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence was instrumental throughout all phases of the project.

A phased journey from concept to paperless cockpit

SunExpress was among the first airlines to sign for AMOSeTL. Their operational expertise and commitment to digitalisation provided vital input throughout the project. The objective: to deliver a modern, intuitive, and fully integrated electronic tech log solution that meets the operational needs of airlines and supports their paperless ambitions.

AMOSeTL was rolled out with AMOS release 23.12, following a structured approach supported by close cooperation between SunExpress and Swiss-AS.

Once the logged and operated flights reached a stable high-performance level—covering approximately 101,000 flights—the decision to off-board paper tech logs was confirmed. A staggered deployment began in January 2025, starting with the Boeing 737-8 fleet. Within three months, the entire SunExpress fleet was transitioned smoothly to fully paperless operation.

Scope and integration

SunExpress implemented AMOSeTL in both pilot mode and external maintenance mode, fully integrated with AMOSmobile/EXEC at its base stations. This setup allows for seamless collaboration between cockpit and maintenance teams, fully digitalising the technical logbook process from end to end.

Together, AMOSeTL and AMOSmobile/EXEC provide a modern, connected working environment: pilots can log defects and monitor aircraft status directly on their devices, while engineers receive real-time updates and can take immediate action using AMOSmobile/EXEC. 

With this setup, SunExpress has achieved a truly paperless operation across its fleet. From pre-flight checks to return-to-service confirmations, every step is now handled digitally – reducing administrative overhead, ensuring data accuracy, and improving turnaround times.

Now fully operational at SunExpress, AMOSeTL enables:

• Operational efficiency: Real-time synchronisation of cockpit and maintenance data, accelerated defect reporting, and streamlined return-to-service workflows.
