Frontier opts for more of Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops and Engineering products

• AMOS selected as the new Maintenance & Engineering software, implementation well in progress.
•  AVIATAR Predictive Health Analytics, Condition Monitoring and  Technical Repetitives Examination.
• First US airline to use the entire Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem consisting of AVIATAR, flydocs and AMOS.

Frontier Airlines has decided to implement additional modules and products from Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops and Engineering services portfolio. After selecting AMOS as the airline’s new Maintenance & Engineering (M&E) software at the end of 2024, Frontier has now added multiple new modules to its existing AVIATAR digital tech ops tool suite. These include Predictive Health Analytics, Condition Monitoring and the AI-based Technical Repetitives Examination (TRE).

Enhanced by Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops Engineering Services, the expanded scope marks another major milestone in the ultra-low-fare carrier’s roadmap for the digital transformation of its technical operations, supporting its large Airbus A320 family fleet.

With AMOS, a world-leading M&E software currently being implemented across Frontier’s operations, the airline will be able to manage all maintenance, engineering and logistics requirements while ensuring continuous compliance with aviation regulations through a single, cloud-hosted digital platform. The software covers a broad range of technical and commercial functions, including material and resource management, production engineering, quality assurance and maintenance planning.

AMOS also integrates seamlessly with the other elements of Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem — flydocs and AVIATAR — supporting Frontier’s ambitious growth plans. To further expand its capabilities, Frontier has selected additional AVIATAR modules.

Using advanced full-flight data, the AVIATAR Predictive Health Analytics module anticipates technical issues across Frontier’s fleet, helps minimise aircraft downtime, transforms unscheduled maintenance events into planned ones and provides proactive recommendations to improve troubleshooting efficiency. This supports lower maintenance costs while helping to avoid operational incidents, delays and aircraft-on-ground (AOG) situations.

AVIATAR’s Condition Monitoring module aggregates data from multiple sources to deliver a real-time overview of the fleet’s technical status and component health.

The TRE module represents an enhancement to Frontier’s existing AVIATAR Reliability Suite. It enables targeted analysis of flight crew technical logbook entries through a combination of artificial intelligence and Lufthansa Technik’s extensive engineering expertise. The solution has already been deployed at more than 20 international airlines operating Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Based on direct feedback from Frontier, the solution has also been further developed in close collaboration with Lufthansa Technik’s engineers.

With this latest expansion, Frontier becomes the first U.S. airline to deploy products from Lufthansa Technik’s complete Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem. In addition to AVIATAR and AMOS, the ecosystem includes flydocs, the global leader in digital records and asset management, which Frontier has been using for nearly a decade.

“Frontier has several partnerships with Lufthansa Technik which the company’s Engineering and Reliability departments are leveraging to better forecast and track reliability issues across our various fleets. Lufthansa Technik continues to improve their offerings, driving more integration of various digital services and bringing users to relevant information more quickly by leveraging cross-linked data within the ecosystem of applications. These efficiency gains, and the ability to forecast potential issues through predictive maintenance, allow Frontier to improve fleet reliability for smoother and more consistent operations,” said Shaun Jensen, Director Engineering and Fleet at Frontier Airlines.

“We are delighted to welcome Frontier as the first U.S. airline using our complete Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem. Together, we are driving the digital transformation of the aircraft maintenance industry and setting new benchmarks for efficiency, reliability and innovation,” said Arne Schlossmacher, Head of Sales and Customer Development Digital Fleet Services in the Americas at Lufthansa Technik. “While already very effective on a single-product basis, the smart combination of AVIATAR, flydocs and AMOS, supported by strong regional expertise, will help Frontier unlock even greater benefits on its path toward fully digitalised MRO services.”

Frontier’s Technical Operations division maintains the airline’s Airbus A320 family fleet and provides maintenance, engineering and technical training services across the United States, with its main hangar located at the company’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Frontier is part of an airline group that includes other ultra-low-cost carriers such as Wizz Air, JetSmart and Volaris, all of which also work closely with Lufthansa Technik. These airlines operate rapidly expanding Airbus A320 family fleets, driving the need for increased operational flexibility and efficiency.

About the Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem

Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops Ecosystem is built on three core pillars: AMOS, the maintenance and engineering software; AVIATAR, the data and analytics platform; and flydocs, the digital records and asset management solution. Each operates independently while being designed to integrate seamlessly, delivering modular and connected services across the technical operations value chain. The ecosystem is designed to improve process efficiency, reduce operating costs, enhance operational stability and maximise aircraft availability and asset value throughout the aircraft lifecycle.
