SalamAir, the first low-cost carrier based in Oman, has chosen OASES MRO software from Commsoft.

The deal, which was signed on New Year’s Eve, was Commsoft’s seventh new OASES contract in 2019.

These include its core, airworthiness, planning, materials, line maintenance control and warranty modules, all of which will be implemented on Commsoft’s private cloud.

The OASES implementation will start immediately with onsite implementation likely to commence in March 2020.
