Lufthansa Technik AG is proud to welcome United Airlines as the
newest user of its AVIATAR platform. The airline signed a contract in
late 2020 for digital support through AVIATAR for its Boeing 777 and
Airbus A320 fleet, with plans to work with Lufthansa Technik to
develop new predictive maintenance solutions for its Boeing 737
fleet.
Combining the strengths of the world's third largest Boeing 737 fleet
operator, engineering know-how and data expertise will lead to unique
predictive maintenance solutions for United's different fleet types.
United has already begun integrating AVIATAR into its existing
processes and training procedures.
"By leveraging AVIATAR's digital platform, our tech-ops professionals
can access data, insights and recommendations that help us optimize
our operations and reduce flight delays or cancellations caused by
maintenance issues," said Kurt Carpenter, United Vice President of
Technical Operations Planning and Strategy. "We are excited to
collaborate with Lufthansa Technik on this innovative digital
maintenance solution which represents the future of aircraft
maintenance program management."
"Innovative digital solutions are a cornerstone of our corporate
strategy and joining forces with United Airlines as a leading global
airline is a strong signal for the aviation market," said Johannes
Bussmann, CEO of Lufthansa Technik. "Together with United Airlines we
will further improve digital TechOps on a large scale and look
forward to jointly creating new use cases for advanced digital
technologies."
Launched in 2017, AVIATAR is the independent platform for digital
products and services developed by Lufthansa Technik. The platform
offers its users digital products ranging from predictive maintenance
to fulfilment and automated solutions. AVIATAR combines fleet
management solutions, data science and engineering expertise to
