Latvian flag carrier airBaltic has concluded a comprehensive two-year enterprise digital transformation with the complete operational implementation of the AMOS maintenance management software across its entire commercial fleet. Developed by Swiss AviationSoftware (Swiss-AS), the technical platform replaces the airline's legacy engineering tracking software with an integrated digital ecosystem. The transition brings together continuing airworthiness management, base and line maintenance coordination, material logistics, and financial tracking into a unified technological environment tailored to support the airline's expanding flight network.

Centralising Technical Operations Across European Bases

The implementation of the AMOS software ecosystem establishes an integrated data environment supporting approximately 600 technical users across airBaltic's operational infrastructure. The rollout encompasses technical workflows at the airline's primary hub at Riga International Airport in Latvia, alongside permanent operating bases in Tallinn, Estonia, and Vilnius, Lithuania.

In addition to its home Baltic network, the software platform extends to airBaltic's seasonal wet-lease and ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) operations conducted on behalf of partner carriers across Europe. By establishing a central repository for technical records, engineering teams situated across disparate line stations access identical real-time status data, eliminating communication silos and standardising compliance oversight across all maintenance touchpoints.

Functional Scope and Mobile Maintenance Integration

The enterprise platform deployment incorporates the core AMOS Airline/MRO Edition alongside dedicated mobile execution modules, specifically AMOSmobile/EXEC for technicians and AMOSmobile/STORES for logistics personnel. The architectural scope spans critical technical disciplines:

  • Continuing Airworthiness Management (CAMO): Automated airworthiness monitoring, directive tracking, and reliability engineering.
  • Maintenance Planning and Flight Control: Coordinated line maintenance scheduling and long-term heavy base maintenance slot allocation.
  • Component and Workshop Maintenance: In-house repair tracking, rotables management, and shop testing workflows.
  • Logistics and Materials Management: Integrated inventory tracking, procurement automation, and consignment monitoring across warehouses.
  • Financial and Cost Accounting: Direct tracking of parts consumption, labour expenditures, and life-cycle maintenance cost transparency.

The inclusion of mobile touch-optimised applications empowers line engineers on the tarmac to record defect findings, review digital task cards, and sign off routine inspections directly from handheld tablets, eliminating redundant paper documentation.

Replacing Legacy Systems for Enhanced Operational Agility

airBaltic initiated the digital migration after determining that its existing maintenance software suite could no longer accommodate the operational demands of a fast-growing, single-type fleet. The legacy setup required extensive manual data transfers between departments, introducing administrative bottlenecks and limiting real-time visibility into maintenance overhead.

Project leaders emphasized that the two-year collaborative implementation provided an opportunity to modernize internal workflows rather than simply digitizing existing practices. The new system automates repetitive administrative procedures, streamlining work order creation and accelerating parts requests from line stations. Enhanced financial integration allows technical leadership to monitor exact airframe maintenance expenditures, strengthening overall budgetary oversight.

Supporting an All-Airbus A220 Operational Footprint

The digital integration aligns directly with airBaltic's operational profile as the world's leading operator of the Airbus A220-300 twinjet. Operating a modern, uniform fleet of Pratt & Whitney PW1500G-powered airframes demands precise predictive maintenance analytics and rigorous component reliability tracking. Having an end-to-end digital maintenance suite enables technical teams to optimise scheduled checks and maintain high dispatch reliability.

By establishing a centralised, paperless maintenance framework, airBaltic reinforces its strategic goal of expanding third-party MRO services and ACMI support contracts across the European continent. The AMOS deployment positions the Baltic carrier to scale technical capabilities efficiently while maintaining compliance with stringent European Union Aviation Safety Agency Part-145 regulations.
