Frontier Airlines will deploy additional maintenance software modules from Lufthansa Technik to support its Airbus A320 fleet. The update adds predictive health analytics, condition monitoring, and AI-based Technical Repetitives Examination (TRE) for aircraft maintenance. Frontier selected AMOS as its M&E (maintenance and engineering) platform in late 2024 and expanded its use of the AVIATAR digital operations suite.
Frontier will utilize AMOS as a cloud-hosted platform to manage maintenance, engineering, and logistics operations while meeting aviation regulations. The software supports material management, resource planning, production engineering, quality assurance, and maintenance planning. AMOS integrates with Lufthansa Technik’s Digital Tech Ops tools, including flydocs and AVIATAR, providing a unified system for Frontier’s operations.
AVIATAR’s Predictive Health Analytics module analyzes flight data to identify potential aircraft technical issues before failures occur. The system supports planned maintenance by reducing unscheduled events and aircraft downtime. It provides troubleshooting guidance that helps limit delays and AOG (Aircraft on Ground) disruptions. AVIATAR’s Condition Monitoring module collects data from multiple sources to deliver a real-time view of fleet condition and component performance.
Frontier is adding the TRE module to its AVIATAR Reliability Suite to analyze flight crew technical logbook entries. The system combines AI with Lufthansa Technik engineering knowledge. The tool is in use at more than 20 airlines with various Airbus and Boeing aircraft types. Lufthansa Technik has developed the solution based on feedback from Frontier.
“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 ability to forecast potential issues through predictive maintenance, allows Frontier to improve the reliability of our fleet for smoother and more consistent system operations,” said Shaun Jensen, director engineering and fleet at Frontier Airlines.
“We are delighted to welcome Frontier as the first US 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, Lufthansa Technik’s head of sales and customer development digital fleet services in the Americas. “While already very effective on a single product basis, the smart combination of AVIATAR, flydocs and AMOS with a strong regional support will help Frontier leverage even more benefits on the road to fully digitalized MRO services.”
Frontier maintains its Airbus A320 fleet through its technical operations division with facilities across the USA. The division provides maintenance, engineering, and technical training, anchored by its main hangar at headquarters in Denver, CO. Frontier is part of a group of low-cost airlines, including Wizz Air, JetSmart, and Volaris, that also work with Lufthansa Technik.
