Boeing recently announced that AeroLogic has adopted the aeroplane manufacturer’s web-based solutions, Maintenance Performance Toolbox and Aeroplane 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.

AeroLogic will use Boeing’s Aeroplane 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 utilises the very latest maintenance technology, meeting our ceaseless commitment to reducing our operating costs while improving our productivity and performance.”
