Aeroflot To Swap Swiss MRO Software For Russian-Made Product | Aviation Week Network
Summary
Russia’s largest carrier Aeroflot has selected a local supplier to provide MRO software for its fleet, replacing the Swiss-AS AMOS it currently uses. The use of foreign-made MRO software has become challenging after Western sanctions banned companies from providing maintenance services to Russian airlines over a year ago following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Aeroflot’s deputy head for information technologies, Anton Matskevich, said EC IAS was selected because the IT company had already developed maintenance software for Russian aircraft manufacturer Irkut Corporation. The service was previously provided by SITA, which will completely withdraw from Russia starting July 1, the Aeroflot deputy CEO said. The group also plans to replace SITA software on more than 4,000 tablets for Aeroflot and Rossiya cabin crews by the end of the first quarter of 2024 and to introduce a joint database of unruly passengers.
