MADRID, Spain, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA)
announced today at MRO Europe that AeroLogic has adopted the airplane
manufacturer's Web-based solutions, Maintenance Performance Toolbox and
Airplane Health Management, as foundations for the carrier's 777 Freighter
maintenance documentation platform when deliveries begin in 2009.
Maintenance Performance Toolbox, including the Library and Authoring
modules, will help AeroLogic, based in Leipzig/Halle, Germany, streamline
an array of maintenance activities, including managing technical
publications and training and customizing online maintenance manuals.
A total of 14 European carriers now use this innovative maintenance
tool.
AeroLogic will use Boeing's Airplane Health Management to monitor its
777 Freighters, giving the airline a real-time fault management tool to
identify maintenance needs and communicate with ground teams to enable
proactive, planned and timely maintenance operations and address potential
issues.
"Boeing has exactly the right tools to help us build a lean,
competitive cargo carrier," said AeroLogic Maintenance Director Christian
Schmucker. "It is important to bring our customers a service that utilizes
the very latest maintenance technology, meeting our ceaseless commitment to
reducing our operating costs while improving our productivity and
performance."
The combination of Toolbox and AHM provides a complementary ability to
enhance productivity in airline maintenance and engineering operations.
"AeroLogic's strong commitment to efficiently managing its maintenance
practices using our latest e-Enabled tools provides a great endorsement of
Boeing as a lifecycle solutions partner," said Dan da Silva, vice president
of Sales and Marketing for Boeing Commercial Aviation Services.
Toolbox and AHM are key components within Boeing's evolving portfolio
of performance-enhancing solutions for airplane maintenance. Toolbox access
is through Boeing's secure Internet portal, MyBoeingFleet.com. Only an
Internet connection, password and computer -- a laptop, desktop or pen
tablet -- are necessary to access the system as a secured, hosted service.
AeroLogic GmbH is jointly owned by DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo AG,
with each company holding a 50 percent stake. The airline, which was
founded in September 2007, developed from the joint venture set up by the
two partners in 2004. AeroLogic's cargo capacities will be used primarily
by DHL Express and Lufthansa Cargo. The two partners also will be
responsible for sales and warehouse handling.
