SunExpress Goes Live with AMOSeTL

Swiss AviationSoftware (Swiss-AS) has announced that SunExpress, a joint venture between Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, has successfully gone live with AMOSeTL, the fully integrated
Electronic Tech Log solution within AMOS. This milestone marks the culmination of an intensive two-year collaboration, with SunExpress being not only the launch customer but also as a strategic development partner contributing to the product’s refinement. Since the initial development phase of AMOSeTL in 2022, SunExpress has actively participated in workshops, demos, and feedback sessions, contributing valuable insights that helped shape the product. The airline’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence was instrumental throughout all phases of the project.

A phased journey from concept to paperless cockpit

SunExpress was among the first airlines to sign for AMOSeTL. Their operational
expertise and commitment to digitalization provided vital input throughout the project. The objective: to deliver a modern, intuitive, and fully integrated electronic tech log solution that meets the
operational needs of airlines and supports their paperless ambitions.

AMOSeTL was rolled out with AMOS release 23.12, following a structured approach supported by close cooperation between SunExpress and Swiss-AS. A “parallel run” phase was launched in April 2024, followed by the fleet-wide iPad rollout in June. During this time, the AMOS Competence Centre, pilots, and engineers carried out extensive testing. Valuable feedback collected from all user groups was continuously integrated into the product, further enhancing its usability and robustness.

By working closely with Swiss-AS, SunExpress also secured approval from the local aviation authority to operate AMOSeTL. This was a significant milestone, supported by the creation of tailored documentation for troubleshooting and user guidance. Once the logged and operated flights reached a stable high-performance level—covering approximately 101,000 flights—the decision to off-board paper tech logs was confirmed. A staggered deployment began in January 2025, starting with the Boeing 737-8 fleet. Within three months, the entire SunExpress fleet was transitioned smoothly to fully paperless operation.

CIRB Authorizes Representation Vote for Air Canada AMEs and Skilled Trade Groups

The Canada Industrial Relations Board authorized a representation vote for approximately 2,250 maintenance employees at Air Canada.

As part of its order, the board approved the fragmentation of the existing Technical, Maintenance, and Operational Support (TMOS) Bargaining Unit. While noting their general preference for broad-based units, the Board stated it “rarely grants such fragmentations,” but found that “fragmenting the existing bargaining unit is appropriate in the specific circumstances of this case.”

After approving the fragmentation of the TMOS Unit, the Board found that the following bargaining unit would be appropriate for collective bargaining:

All Air Canada Technical Services Business Unit employees, excluding employees in the Airport & Cargo Operations Business Unit and the Logistics & Supply Business Unit and all management positions.

“For decades, aircraft maintenance engineers and skilled trade groups have been overlooked, their wages and priorities overshadowed by larger workgroups within broad bargaining units,” said AMFA National President Bret Oestreich. “AMFA stands apart. We are the only craft/trade-specific union solely focused on promoting, elevating and unifying aircraft maintenance technicians, engineers, and related skilled trade groups across North America.”

Board representation votes are conducted on an expedited basis. AMFA anticipates that the vote at Air Canada will take place within the next several weeks. “We extend our sincere thanks all the organizers at Air Canada whose dedication and tireless efforts made this historic moment possible,” the group said.

Air Canada is the flag carrier and the largest airline in Canada, by size and passengers carried. Air Canada is headquartered in the borough of Saint-Laurent in the city of Montreal. The airline, founded in 1937, provides scheduled and charter air transport for passengers and cargo to 222 destinations worldwide. It operates major hubs at Montréal–Trudeau, Toronto–Pearson, and Vancouver. Air Canada is a founding member of the Star Alliance.

Lufthansa Technik Reports Best First-Quarter Earnings in the Company’s History

Lufthansa Technik posted its best first-quarter result in the company’s history with an Adjusted EBIT of 161 million euros (same period last year: 108 million euros, up 49.5 percent). After the first three months, revenue was two billion euros and therefore 18.4 percent higher than in the same period last year. In the previous year, the strikes in Germany in particular had a significant negative impact on the earnings for the first quarter.

“We are delighted that the first quarter of 2025 went so well,” says Soeren Stark, CEO of Lufthansa Technik. “At the same time, achieving our ambitious targets is not a foregone conclusion. For example, we are currently studying and preparing for the possible effects of increased customs duties. However, it is still too early to provide details.” Overall, the ongoing difficulties with material supplies across the industry and disproportionately high cost increases continue to pose challenges. Despite these conditions, Lufthansa Technik is aiming for a positive revenue and earnings performance for the full year against the backdrop of continued strong demand for maintenance and repair services.

The Adjusted EBIT margin, i.e. the ratio of earnings to revenue, was 8.0 percent in the first quarter (previous year: 6.3 percent, also due to the strikes) and is therefore still below Lufthansa Technik’s target of 10 percent. On a positive note, Lufthansa Technik remains a sought-after partner for customers worldwide. After the company signed more than 900 contracts last year, thereby acquiring new business worth nearly eight billion euros, a further 176 contracts were signed in the first quarter of this year. In February, for example, the company announced a multi-billion euro contract with the Canadian airline WestJet for the maintenance of CFM LEAP-1B aircraft engines and the establishment of the new Lufthansa Technik Canada site in Calgary.

The recruitment of employees has already begun there as well as at the new Lufthansa Technik Portugal location in Santa Maria da Feira near Porto. Lufthansa Technik currently has 22,135 employees worldwide. Effective May 1, the company will be managed by a four-member Executive Board team. On Monday, the Supervisory Board appointed Dr. Christian Leifeld as Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Janna Schumacher as Chief Human Resources Officer of Lufthansa Technik. Soeren Stark has been Chief Executive Officer since July 2022, while Harald Gloy took over his role as Chief Operations Officer at the same time.
