Aerogility recommends airlines to use intelligent tools for success:

23 May 2019: Aerogility has strongly supported the use of intelligent tools by airlines to plan their heavy base maintenance and fleet optimisation, in order to maximise yield and minimise downtime.

"In the volatile airline market, the change to summer schedules means increased pressure on airlines to have an optimised fleet ready to fly passengers across their network. Any downtime, due to unforecast maintenance can cause serious damage to the successful running of a carrier during this crucial time," said Phil Cole, Business Manager - Civil Aviation, Aerogility.

One of the important advantages of intelligent planning is the speed with which planners can react to change. For example, analysing the effects of rising maintenance duration and costs. Airlines that are ready for the highly competitive summer months, such as easyJet - who announced last week the launch of five new routes from Bristol Airport have utilised intelligent MRO planning to predict their required maintenance, accounting for the capacity and resource available and avoiding the critical high season.

Phil Cole concludes, "Effective use of intelligent planning tools will ensure heavy base maintenance events continue to fall due during the winter months of future years, resulting in higher yield and lower whole-life costs."
