- Solution modernizes the way carriers manage aircraft records
and leased-asset documentation
- Cloud-based solution digitizes, indexes, and archives
maintenance records, connects records and data of internal and
external operations, facilitates documentation between airlines and
lessors, and matches maintenance records to relevant Maintenance
& Engineering (M&E) systems
GE Digital today announced that SAUDIA Airlines will be
implementing GE Digital’s Aviation Software Asset Records solution.
The contract extends the partnership between Saudia and GE creating
further operational efficiencies and cost optimization.
The GE Digital Asset Records system makes it easy for operators
to streamline records management with a single, cloud-based
solution. Airlines are able to digitize, index, and archive all
maintenance records and match those records to the relevant M&E
(Maintenance & Engineering) system. In addition, they can
connect the records and data of internal and external operations
and easily facilitate documentation between airlines and
lessors.
By implementing Asset Records, SAUDIA is anticipating achieving
benefits including reduction in records management overhead, time
savings for engineering, easier data retrieval, optimization of the
transfer of assets between the airline and other entities, and
more. The airline will be utilizing GE Digital’s Asset Transfer
System to streamline and simplify the way leased-asset
documentation is managed with lessors, as well as MRO Connect,
Workflow Management, and M&E Systems Integration. In addition,
the solution includes expert professional services for the
digitization of all historical backlog and help the Saudia team
with day to day management of tech records processes and asset
transfer packages.
- MRO Connect allows extension into additional cloud-based
systems
- Workflow Management allows users to manage error correction and
paperwork remediation between the carrier and its outsourced
maintenance providers
- M&E Systems integration enables query of production
databases of M&E systems to support higher accuracy web
indexing and post document links back to these database
Commenting on the agreement, Eng. Ahmed Al Wassiah, Chief
Operations Officer at SAUDIA said, “SAUDIA places innovation among
its top priorities when it comes to aircraft fleet and operations,
and with this latest partnership with GE, it enables SAUDIA to
transition to a seamless, all-digital solution for aircraft asset
records management. With the expansion of the fleet and the
airline’s aircraft modernization roadmap, an essential part of the
360 approach is to have an all-digital interface, providing
real-time access to archived aircraft records in real-time,
facilitating swift access to multiple features, records, and
data.”
With Asset Records, airlines can streamline records management
from capturing and correcting data, to searching and integrating
with suppliers, connecting to existing processes and systems, and
easily integrating into the workflow without worrying about
compliance. And, airlines can leverage highly accurate data and
enable downstream analytics to improve operations.
“This contract represents a great digital partnership with one
of the region’s biggest airlines,” said Andrew Coleman, General
Manager for GE Digital’s Aviation Software business. “This is a
great example of companies embracing the future of flight through
sustainable operations, applying proven aviation practices to
emerging technologies, and adapting to an increasingly digital
world.”
