Austrian Airlines conducts inspection using Donecle’s drone




17 September 2019: Donecle has signed on Austrian Airlines for its automated drone inspection solution. Donecle will partner with Austrian Airlines to help the airline optimise their maintenance process by minimising the time of aircraft inspection while increasing reliability, safety and traceability of airframe checks.

Austrian Airlines has been using this solution since the middle of the year for aircraft visual inspections during line maintenance as well as for unscheduled events.

Donecle not only offers an automated drone which scans the complete external surface of the aircraft, but also delivers analysis software which assists the inspector to visualise and detect defects on the images, evaluate paint quality or check regulatory markings. All images are stored on a secure cloud platform to build a digital history of the aircraft and improve traceability over time, contributing to a paperless process.
