Predictive Spare Parts Planning Deployed at Volotea to Enhance Long-Term Maintenance Forecasting

EXSYN has deployed its Predictive Spare Parts Planning capability at Volotea, enhancing the airline’s ability to forecast material demand, months and even years ahead. Built on EXSYN’s modular aviation data platform, the solution transforms how Volotea plans, procures, and positions spare parts across its maintenance network.

Developed in close collaboration between EXSYN and Volotea, the new capability leverages EXSYN’s Long-Term Forecasting capability to merge data from Volotea’s maintenance program with historical unscheduled maintenance events. This integration further allows the airline to strategically allocate materials, optimise procurement cycles, and reduce unplanned AOG exposure across multiple bases.

“Predictive spare parts planning is a natural next step in our digital maintenance journey,” said Matías Datino, Technical Senior Director Volotea and the logistics team. “By combining our operational experience with EXSYN’s data expertise, we can anticipate material needs earlier and ensure our maintenance network is better prepared to support our growing operations.”

“Data-driven material planning is a key enabler for efficient and resilient maintenance operations,” said Sander de Bree, CEO of EXSYN Aviation Solutions. “Working together with Volotea, we’ve connected forecasting intelligence directly to logistics workflows, turning trusted operational data into tangible cost and reliability gains.”

This new capability enables long-term, data-driven material forecasting, transforming how airlines plan and manage spare parts across their maintenance networks. The initiative is expected to improve forecasting accuracy and reduce annual spare parts purchasing costs significantly through fewer AOG-related surcharges and more efficient material allocation. From Forecast to Fulfilment: Connecting Data to Action

Volotea will use the Long-Term Forecasting capability to anticipate material needs based on maintenance patterns and fleet utilisation. These insights feed directly into EXSYN’s Logistics & Supply Chain app, which manages stock positions and part movements between maintenance locations, ensuring critical items are available ahead of need.
