Through its innovative use of cloud-based and mobile-first technology, EmpowerMX continues to transform and modernize the field of aircraft maintenance.

Swiss-AS is pleased to announce that Aero K Airlines, an ultra-low-cost airline based in the Republic of Korea, has opted for the AMOS Airline Edition to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and reduce overall maintenance costs of its fleet composed of Airbus A320 aircraft.

Aero K Airlines recognised several challenges within their existing MIS and business processes. These challenges included data manipulation issues that were partly due to human factors and partly due to poorly designed software. While comprehensive user training can mitigate the human factors, professional solutions are required to resolve software-related issues.

To address these challenges, Aero K decided to migrate from its current MIS to AMOS. Key to this decision was the robust business logic of AMOS, which has been honed over 35 years of service to many valued customers, as well as the continuous evolvement of the software with next-generation technologies, including Flutter, to remain at the forefront of industry advancements. 

In addition to the Airline Edition, Aero K Airlines has adopted Swiss-AS Cloud Hosting services. This solution not only provides the airline with a fully dedicated cloud hosting environment, but also ensures optimal operating conditions, as Aero K will benefit from AMOS Operational Services (AOS), covering the application and database server administration.

“Aero K Airlines is enthusiastic about joining the AMOS community and we look forward to a promising future with Swiss Aviation Software Ltd.” says Mr In Son, MIS Administrator of Aero K Airlines.
