Swiss-AS has announced that in a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency and streamline airworthiness management, the Lufthansa Group’s Technical Fleet Management has launched a groundbreaking project known as “BlueFins.” This innovative initiative brings together Lufthansa Airlines and Eurowings Discover to establish a Business Group Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO). This centralized entity will collectively oversee airworthiness management responsibilities for both airlines, operating under the umbrella of the Lufthansa German Airlines Technical Fleet Management business unit.
This groundbreaking development is a response to a new EASA regulation introduced in Q2 2022, which allows multiple Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holders to share a single CAMO. The regulation was conceived as a joint effort between Airlines for Europe, a consortium of 16 leading European airlines, and the Lufthansa Group. The primary objective is to minimize redundant structures, streamline processes, and reduce organizational complexities. By implementing this new Business Group CAMO model, Lufthansa Airlines Technical Fleet Management can simplify its operational structure while capitalizing on the benefits of utilizing a single, industry-leading IT solution, AMOS, which already holds a prominent position as the leading CAMO and Part-145 software within the Lufthansa Group.
