How Swiss Airlines' Digital Twin Improves Maintenance Operations
Thursday Nov 07, 2019
Thursday Nov 07, 2019
On this episode, we interview Marcus Di Laurenzio on how Swiss Airlines is using Aviatar, a platform developed by Lufthansa Technik, to digitally monitor the health of its aircraft and manage maintenance operations.
Di Laurenzio, project manager for Aviatar at the airline, explains how the open platform takes in aircraft data, places it in a centralized location maintenance staff can access via a web-based dashboard, and enables the airline to use predictive maintenance to avoid grounded aircraft.

California-based JSX, formerly JetSuiteX, is the launch customer for SmartSky’s upcoming air to ground in-flight connectivity network.
The public charter provider operates more than 330 flights out of seven airports, with a fleet of Embraer 135s and 145s. JSX is a subsidiary of private charter JetSuite, and focuses on providing short haul flights at prices that compete with commercial airline business cabin fares.
SmartSky expects its air to ground network to become fully operational by the end of the year, and when they do, JSX will be the first operator flying with their connectivity onboard.
We caught up with Angela Vargo, vice president of marketing at JSX, to learn what they’ve been doing to prepare for the launch of the new high speed in-flight connectivity technology.

More than 20 companies are members of the Seamless Air Alliance, working together to establish open architecture standards for in-flight connectivity, including the likes of Airbus, Sprint, Delta Air Lines and Etihad Airways.
A research study released by SAA at this year’s World Mobile Congress in Barcelona concluded technology standardization would increase the value of the in-flight connectivity market by $11.4 billion. In our discussion, Mandala explained their open standards work for in-flight connectivity and the new Hotspot 2.0 Wi-Fi services they launched and demonstrated at the 2019 Paris Air Show.
