Flatirons Solutions, a global provider of technical information management solutions for knowledge-driven industries including aviation, aerospace, shipping, rail, energy, and defense, is proud to announce the signing of a new agreement with American Airlines, Inc.

The agreement consolidates and extends prior contracts between Flatirons and American Airlines, providing the airline with access to a fully hosted solution for managing the publication of maintenance manuals, work cards, and other aviation technical documents vital to the operation of its fleet of nearly 1,000 mainline aircraft.
