The Middle East aviation sector is currently undergoing a significant period of change, propelled by swift fleet growth, tactical approaches to workforce and supply chain issues, and a resolute emphasis on innovation and sustainability. With an anticipated fleet growth from 1,800 to 3,300 aircraft over the next decade, the region is preparing for a significant rise in demand for MRO services.

What is the role of data in lower maintenance costs? Operational effectiveness and data integrity are highly correlated. This article examines the reasons behind reoccurring issues and workarounds caused by data errors and inconsistencies, as well as strategies for resolving them.

A serious but little-known problem facing the aviation industry is the severe lack of engineers for aircraft maintenance. The industry is struggling to find enough Generation Z workers to fill the growing gap left by the baby boomer generation's retirement, which could compromise the efficiency and security of aviation operations.

Discover how improving safety, effectiveness, and reliability through data-driven maintenance can transform the aviation industry. Learn how to overcome data quality and integration challenges, integrate and analyse data for predictive maintenance, and reap the benefits of maximising aircraft utilisation and minimising unplanned maintenance.

Discover the most frequent financial, technical, and regulatory challenges associated with aircraft Phase Out, along with some helpful solutions.

Explore how data quality management optimizes airworthiness checks for safer flights, ensuring accuracy and compliance in aviation.

With the increased usage of more advanced technologies and new aircraft, data has become a key player in enhancing aircraft maintenance practices. Thus, the importance of effective data management is increasing as well and is crucial for ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of aircraft operations. Aircraft maintenance relies heavily on accurate and timely data to make informed decisions and keep fleets in optimal condition. Therefore, today we will outline the key essentials to be able to make optimal use of data and the benefits of it for aircraft maintenance

Migration of an airline’s fleet airworthiness & maintenance data is not something that happens daily. Typically, it becomes relevant when the airline’s maintenance & engineering department selects to implement a new MRO/M&E software system to manage its fleet. However, the way HOW the data migration is performed as part of the MRO/M&E software system implementation is of great significance and will have a long-lasting effect in the years to come.

Before talking about the state of your data, let’s first get quickly into what is the meaning of data quality and data integrity.

Data quality refers to the overall level of excellence and trustworthiness of data. It is the measure of how well data meets the needs of its intended users and the degree to which it is fit for its intended purpose. Factors that contribute to data quality include accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness, and relevance.

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) defines data quality as Accuracy, Resolution, and Integrity.
