There is no shortage of digital ambition in aviation maintenance. The harder task is making it count in the hangar, at the gate and across the aircraft lifecycle.
With pressure on costs, capacity and aircraft availability, airlines and MRO providers need technology that helps people get the job done. Earlier fault detection, easier access to technical records and less time spent moving information between systems can all make a meaningful difference.
As the contributions in this supplement explore, progress starts with the foundations. AI needs trusted data. Electronic logbooks need to capture useful information where faults occur. Digital records need to support maintenance and asset decisions, while connected systems must turn insights into timely action.
Our contributors examine how these capabilities are developing, alongside the practical challenges of bringing them into everyday operations.
