Frontier Airlines has decided to implement additional modules and products from Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops and Engineering services portfolio. After selecting AMOS as the airline’s new M&E (Maintenance & Engineering) software at the end of 2024, Frontier now also added various new modules to its existing AVIATAR digital tech ops tool suite. The newly added applications include Predictive Health Analytics, Condition Monitoring and the AI-based Technical Repetitives Examination (TRE). Enhanced by Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops Engineering Services, the addition of these new capabilities represents another major milestone on the ultra-low-fare carrier’s roadmap for the digital transformation of technical operations with its large Airbus A320 family fleet.

With AMOS, a world-leading M&E software which is currently being implemented in the airline’s operations, Frontier will be able to manage all its maintenance, engineering and logistics needs while ensuring continuous compliance with aviation regulations on a single, easy-to-use cloud hosted digital platform. The software suite covers a broad spectrum of technical and commercial functions, from material and resource management to production engineering, quality assurance and maintenance planning, to name just a few. AMOS moreover integrates seamlessly with the other elements of Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops Ecoystem, flydocs and AVIATAR supporting Frontier’s ambitious growth plans. For the latter, Frontier now also selected additional modules to significantly broaden the field of capabilities.

Using advanced full flight data, the AVIATAR Predictive Health Analytics module anticipates technical issues with Frontier’s aircraft, helps minimize their downtimes, transforms unscheduled maintenance events into scheduled ones, and offers proactive recommendations to enhance troubleshooting efficiency. This assists the airline in lowering its maintenance cost and in avoiding operational incidents, delays or AOG (Aircraft on Ground) situations. AVIATAR’s Condition Monitoring module moreover collects data from various sources to offer Frontier an unparalleled real-time overview of its fleet’s technical status and components.

The TRE module represents an upgrade to Frontier’s existing AVIATAR Reliability Suite. It enables the targeted analysis of its flight crews’ technical logbook write-ups through a combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the extensive engineering knowledge of Lufthansa Technik. As of today, the solution has been rolled out at more than 20 international airlines with various Airbus and Boeing aircraft types. Through direct feedback from Frontier, the solution has already been further developed in partnership with Lufthansa Technik’s engineers.

With this recent scope extension, Frontier Airlines becomes the first US airline to employ products from Lufthansa Technik’s entire Digital Tech Ops Ecoystem, a unique offering that spans the complete digital MRO value creation chain. Besides the aforementioned AVIATAR and AMOS, the Ecosystem also includes flydocs, the aviation global leader in digital records and asset management, which Frontier has been using for almost ten years as its digital records management solution provider.

“Frontier has several partnerships with Lufthansa Technik which the company’s Engineering and Reliability departments are leveraging to better forecast and track reliability issues across our various fleets.  Lufthansa Technik continues to improve their offerings, driving more integration of various digital services, and bringing users to relevant information more quickly by leveraging cross-linked data within the ecosystem of applications. These efficiency gains, and ability to forecast potential issues through predictive maintenance, allows Frontier to improve the reliability of our fleet for smoother and more consistent system operations,” said Shaun Jensen, Director Engineering and Fleet at Frontier Airlines.

“We are delighted to welcome Frontier as the first US airline using our complete Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem. Together, we are driving the digital transformation of the aircraft maintenance industry and setting new benchmarks for efficiency, reliability, and innovation,” said Arne Schlossmacher, Lufthansa Technik’s Head of Sales and Customer Development Digital Fleet Services in the Americas. “While already very effective on a single product basis, the smart combination of AVIATAR, flydocs and AMOS with a strong regional support will help Frontier leverage even more benefits on the road to fully digitalized MRO services.”

Frontier’s Technical Operations division maintains the carrier’s large fleet of Airbus A320 family aircraft and provides maintenance, engineering, and technical training services at locations across the USA with the main hangar at the headquarter in Denver, Colorado. Frontier is part of an airline group of renowned ultra low-cost airline brands including Wizz Air, JetSmart and Volaris who also work closely with Lufthansa Technik, its Engineering and Digital Fleet Services. All these airlines operate rapidly growing Airbus A320 family fleets, which requires new levels of synergies and flexibility for efficient further growth of operations.

SITA and Amadeus, under the patronage of AACO, have joined forces to explore flight-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculations, helping airlines and passengers make more sustainable choices through greater transparency and measurability.

New solution delivers faster boarding, shorter queues, and more personal service across easyJet’s network

SITA, working hand in hand with easyJet, has reimagined how airports can serve passengers with the launch of the SITA Agent App, a mobile tool that frees ground crew from fixed desks and allows them to assist passengers anywhere in the terminal.

The collaboration began with a simple challenge: to create more flexibility that reduces the cost of using airport infrastructure, all while improving the passenger experience. Over 12 months of innovation and cooperation, SITA and easyJet trialed the app at Gatwick and across four other UK airports, proving its potential to reshape ground operations. Following that success, the airline plans to roll the solution out across key airports in its entire network of 150+ airports in Europe.

The results have been striking. More than 1,000 ground crew members were enrolled during the trial, printing over 40,000 boarding passes, checking in more than 30,000 passengers, and boarding more than 5 million travelers. At London Gatwick alone, ground crew boarded over 1.4 million passengers and issued 17,000 boarding passes in just eight months. All of this has become much more agile thanks to the removal of physical constraints, as ground crew are no longer tied to fixed desks and are not limited by the number or location of the desks. The app has significantly streamlined training for new staff and can be a strong resiliency tool for maintaining airport operations.

Simon Cox, Director of Ground Operations at easyJet, said: “The SITA Agent App gives our ground operational teams the freedom to assist customers on the spot helping reducing queues, speeding up check-in, and delivering a more personal, efficient experience. It’s not just a technology upgrade.  The app is a strong example of how we are driving innovation putting both ground crew and customers at the heart of everything we do, and aligning with our vision of a modern, customer-centric airport and allowing us to rethink how we use space and resources at the airport.”

The app equips ground crew with mobile devices that connect directly to flexible, mobile check-in, boarding, and bag-tagging systems. This shift away from fixed counters reduces infrastructure costs, simplifies training, and makes better use of airport space.

Collaboration is key when trying to find new ways to improve operations across the industry,” added Nathalie Altwegg, SVP of Airports at SITA. “By innovating with easyJet, we’ve delivered a mobile solution that fast track these improvements and are a clear example of the power of working together. The SITA Agent App brings agility and efficiency to ground operations while giving passengers the faster, more personal service they expect. It’s a blueprint for how the industry can transform.”

By partnering together, SITA has created a powerful new model for airport operations, one that combines mobility, simplicity and innovation to deliver measurable results for both passengers and airlines.

DSNA and SITA complete proof-of-concept bringing airline-grade weather intelligence into Air Traffic Control

Managing air traffic in Europe’s busy skies is challenging enough without unpredictable weather. Storms and turbulence can cause thousands of delays every year, forcing controllers to make rapid decisions to keep flights safe and on schedule. To improve how weather is managed, DSNA, France’s air navigation service provider, has worked with SITA to trial real-time weather tools designed to give controllers the same live data already used by pilots and airline dispatchers.

The proof-of-concept at the Reims Control Centre tested SITA’s Enhanced Weather Awareness System (eWAS) and Mission Watch over the summer of 2025. Across 21 days with weather-related capacity impacts between July and October 2025, DSNA used these tools to track and respond to fast-changing conditions across multiple airspace sectors. The results were clear. Flow managers were able to anticipate weather shifts more precisely, reducing delays by up to 65 percent – an estimated 60,000 to 105,000 minutes saved – while maintaining full safety. These operational gains also translate into financial benefits: handling 2,700 extra flights at an average en-route charge of €750 per flight equates to roughly €2.02 million in additional revenue for the same period. No incidents related to loss of traffic awareness were reported during the trial.

“Weather is one of the biggest challenges for air navigation service providers,” said Gael Barbezier, Head of Operations at Reims ACC. “Working with SITA allowed us to maintain full safety, avoid any weather-related uncontrolled situations, and adjust capacity precisely to the weather avoiding unnecessary reductions in traffic. It feels like we’ve found the key to bringing stability to something that has always been unpredictable.”

Originally developed for airlines, SITA eWAS and Mission Watch give pilots and dispatchers a detailed, continuously updated view of global weather. Together, they provide a single, consistent source of information that helps controllers adjust regulations precisely and restore normal traffic flows more quickly.

“Our collaboration with DSNA shows what can be achieved when everyone in aviation shares the same live picture of the sky,” said Yann Cabaret, CEO, SITA for Aircraft. “When controllers, pilots, and dispatchers all see accurate, real-time weather information, they can plan and adapt together. That means fewer delays, smoother operations, and safer flights for passengers. This proof-of-concept demonstrates the spirit of Trajectory Based Operation, where flights are managed using a shared, data-driven view of their exact route and timing, showing how shared data can make a practical difference every day.”

Following the success of the trial, DSNA has access to a refined version of Mission Watch and continues to work with SITA to tailor the solution for the evolving needs of air navigation service providers.
