TAP Air Portugal and Lufthansa Technik AG have signed a five-year agreement for digital support by AVIATAR for its entire Airbus fleet.
TAP Air Portugal will use AVIATAR's solutions – including Condition Monitoring, Event Analytics and Fleet Map. In addition, the airline becomes development partner for future solutions on the
digital platform.
AVIATAR's aircraft health monitoring solutions were tested by the TAP Air Portugal project team in parallel and in place of its current solution, including a detailed quality assessment. Within the AVIATAR community, the project team and AVIATAR team worked together to improve and adapt some of the solutions already. This enabled a collaborative development of the overall solution for TAP Air Portugal and also improved the user experience for the entire community.
"TAP Air Portugal follows a stringent selection process for service providers. Following an experimental period, AVIATAR has met and confirmed our expectations concerning functionality, teamwork and continuous improvement efforts to strengthen and digitalize our technical fleet support," said Mário Lobato de Faria, Chief Technical Officer of TAP Air Portugal. "Therefore, we are looking forward to benefitting from increased aircraft availability, paving the way for predictive maintenance and further cost savings as well as a close, future-oriented relationship with our partner Lufthansa Technik."
"TAP Air Portugal is Portugal's leading airline and we are very proud that AVIATAR has been selected as long-term preferred partner," said Kai-Stefan Roepke, Vice President Corporate Sales EMEA at Lufthansa Technik. "Our experience in digital fleet services and tech-ops support will help us to further improve TAP Air Portugal's fleet operations. We look forward to continuing our trustful partnership and further expanding our collaboration also as innovative development partners.
