Register to attend this Webinar to see the latest advances in aircraft maintenance planning and scheduling digital tools, with a demo of the powerful Ames solution from Omega Airline Software. As you will see, Ames – as used worldwide by airlines, operators, and MROs, such as Air Canada, British Airways, American Airlines, NetJets, Air Wisconsin, Qantas, and more – provides maintenance planning teams, large and small, with the advanced digital tools to easily optimize short- and long-range maintenance schedules, maximize fleet availability, reduce downtime, increase profitability (up to seven figure savings depending on size of fleet), and ensure total compliance with engineering and regulatory standards. Using demos of the solution, the OMEGA team will showcase how Ames assists planning teams to proactively manage every variable affecting maintenance planning, from fleet and flight schedule changes to unscheduled maintenance, OEM directives, and parts availability.  You will see how Ames is designed to plan and schedule maintenance for entire fleets and individual aircraft, offering a 20-year planning horizon and the flexibility to manage multiple hangar, track, and slot configurations, enabling planners to manage aircraft in operation, account for future deliveries and lease returns, and identify engine, APU, and landing gear removals.  The demos will then walk you through specific use-cases and workflows.  First you will see the Long-Range Planner with unlimited what-if scenarios, capabilities to simulate complex scenarios — including labor and hangar capacity, facility limits, and changing fleet schedules – assisting planners to test multiple strategies before execution and then share the selected plan across the organization through dashboards and data-exchange tools. Next you will see the Short-term Scheduler and Package Writer and how planners push approved plans into production, build work packages aligned with resource and facility constraints, and maintain real-time visibility across all maintenance.

In addition to planning the optimum maintenance schedules, you will see how Ames seamlessly integrates with existing Maintenance & Engineering and MRO systems by importing XML-based data feeds exchange, ensuring that fleet, component, and compliance information is always synchronized and current. Finally, you will see the Analyze Module, and how Ames gives decision-makers the analytics they need for quantitative insights, allowing users to compare planned vs actual maintenance performance, evaluate cost scenarios, and review aircraft availability across fleets. As you will see, this depth of insight supports better financial decisions, tighter control of maintenance budgets, and stronger alignment between operational and engineering teams.

The Webinar is divided into the following four key sections:

1. Ames Key Features Overview: Long-Range Planning, What-If Scenarios, and Scheduling Integration
   First you will learn about Omega’s product roadmap, shaped through collaboration with customers, and how new developments are extending Ames’ capabilities in long-range, short-term, and component-level planning.
   
   Omega experts will then demo how Ames is structured and how its architecture drives operational efficiency across maintenance organizations. You will see how planners can input fleet data, maintenance programs, and operational constraints to generate a single, data-rich maintenance plan that serves as the single source of truth across departments. The Omega team will demonstrate Ames’ parameter-driven approach, which enables users to plan across entire fleets — not just individual aircraft — with a planning horizon of up to 20 years.
   
   As you will see, Ames provides unlimited what-if capabilities to simulate complex scenarios — including labour and hangar capacity, facility limits, and changing fleet schedules — helping planners to test multiple strategies before execution. You will also learn how Ames integrates with existing Maintenance & Engineering (M&E) and MRO systems via XML data exchange, ensuring that fleet, component, and compliance information is always synchronized and current.
   
   
2. Ames Demo 1: Dataset Manager and Maintenance Planning Module
   Next you will see how planners manage datasets, and create, test and refine maintenance plans within Ames. You will see how Dataset Manager allows users to work between production and test datasets, maintaining control while modelling alternative plans. The Plan Module will demonstrate how planners can configure aircraft, facilities, and maintenance parameters, use the auto-scheduler to generate optimized plans, and manually fine-tune visits to achieve the most efficient outcomes. This section will illustrate how Ames’ integrated planning logic reduces overhead, prevents scheduling conflicts, and ensures maintenance requirements are balanced against operational priorities.
   
   
3. Ames Demo 2: Short-Term Scheduling and Execution
   Next, the Omega team will walk through the Short-Term Scheduler and Package Writer modules, showing how Ames bridges long-range planning with daily operational execution. You will see how planners push approved plans into production, build work packages aligned with resource and facility constraints, and maintain visibility across all maintenance events — from A-checks to heavy checks, engine and APU removals, and ad-hoc maintenance. As you will see, this complete visibility enables smoother coordination between departments and serves as an audit trail to ensure every task is scheduled ahead of due dates and executed in compliance with operational requirements.
   
   
4. Ames Demo 3: Analytics, Reporting, and Stakeholder Collaboration
   In the final section, you will see how Ames turns planning data into actionable insights. The Analyse Module provides quantitative comparisons between planned and actual maintenance performance, helping users evaluate costs, forecast budgets, and identify opportunities to improve aircraft availability and reliability. You will see how Ames’ dashboards and reports can be shared across departments — from maintenance control and engineering to procurement and finance — as well as with third-party MROs, regulatory agencies, and supply chain vendors. As you will see, this collaborative visibility ensures that every stakeholder works from the same up-to-date data, strengthening coordination, compliance, and cost management across the maintenance ecosystem.

Join this live session to see how Omega’s Ames solution continues to set the benchmark for advanced, integrated maintenance planning — giving airlines and MROs the intelligence, flexibility, and foresight to keep their fleets operating at peak efficiency.

About the Aircraft IT Webinar Series:

Every 2 weeks the Aircraft IT website hosts a different live Webinar, each Webinar hosted by a different IT Vendor. These sessions represent the perfect opportunity to learn about a software solution in a more informal manner and to quickly gain an in-depth knowledge of all the major systems on the market, all from the comfort of your own office or home with no sales pressure.

The IT vendor provides a live software demonstration/masterclass of their solution and explains how it can benefit airlines, MROs, Operators, OEMs, Leasing Companies. Once logged on, online delegates can ask questions via the interactive sections of the Webinar or simply sit back and watch and listen to the demonstration. There are two sessions during the day, each differently times to accommodate all time zones.

Each Webinar session is recorded, and an On-Demand version is then posted back to the Aircraft IT website a few days after the live session to allow you to view the content again with your colleagues. The library of On-Demand Webinar recordings provides an invaluable reference source of MRO / M&E software demonstrations from the World’s leading MRO / M&E IT Vendors.
