At the CIPR IT conference, Aeroflot unveiled a collaborative initiative with ITs IAS focused on reducing dependency on foreign software through an import substitution program. This partnership aims to align resources, expertise, and strategic planning to accelerate the transition from imported IT solutions to domestically developed alternatives, delivering greater control over critical aviation technologies and reducing exposure to external market shifts. The announcement signals a clear commitment to strengthening local capabilities in software for aviation operations and maintenance across Canada and the United States, emphasizing reliability, security, and long term support for airline digital infrastructure.
AMOS is a foundational system used for airworthiness management and the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft. It serves as a centralized repository for technical records, scheduling, compliance checks, and lifecycle tracking, ensuring that aviation assets meet safety and regulatory standards. The ongoing efforts with ITs IAS seek to evolve these capabilities by integrating new modules, modernization efforts, and streamlined workflows that improve data accuracy, reduce downtime, and enhance predictive maintenance across fleets while maintaining rigorous safety and quality benchmarks.
The joint venture plans to deliver a new IT product designed to fully replace the AMOS information system starting in 2025. This transformational solution will consolidate maintenance data, logistics, and work planning into a single, scalable platform calibrated for the needs of carriers, manufacturers, and maintenance organizations. By consolidating disparate systems into one cohesive suite, the project aims to improve interoperability, reporting clarity, and decision support, enabling faster turnaround times and more proactive asset management.
In the project, the team intends to leverage material support for both maintenance and repair work on aircraft. This includes integrating software modules for planned line maintenance and ground support that address the specific requirements of PLG processes. The approach also covers production management during maintenance and repair operations, along with the logistics orchestration of components and materials. The resulting solution will extend beyond basic documentation to provide real time visibility into inventory status, supply chain health, and serviceability of critical components across PLG and MRO activities.
Aeroflot and the ITs IAS leadership emphasize a shared vision for a comprehensive service offering aimed at reducing reliance on foreign aviation software. The intended software suite will be designed to meet the complex needs of airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and MRO providers by delivering robust functionality, scalable architecture, and secure integration capabilities. The collaboration highlights a deliberate move toward domestically sourced technology platforms that support regulatory compliance, data sovereignty, and resilient operation in diverse market conditions, while preserving high standards of performance and user experience for field teams and back office operations.
