Ottawa, Canada (September 27, 2011) – Mxi^® Technologies, the leader in aviation maintenance management software, announced today that the Maintenix^® software has gone live at Qantas in support of the first-phase implementation of the organization’s engineering system replacement project.  The project, with the Maintenix software at its core, represents an ambitious business-driven IT transformation of maintenance and engineering operations at the airline.

The Maintenix software provides the Qantas Maintenance and Engineering organization with a sophisticated solution that supports real-time access to maintenance information on any aircraft from anywhere in the world.
