All Nippon Airways (ANA) has extended its
contract for Boeing’s Maintenance Performance Toolbox for another
five years.
The Japanese carrier has used the Boeing digital
solution for the past eight years to manage maintenance
information for its entire fleet of aircraft and engines.
The toolbox allows operators
to simplify maintenance operations by enabling them to
manage, distribute, process and view intelligent maintenance
documentation in a uniform digital format through a single
interface, regardless of aircraft manufacturer or engine type.

“The adoption of Maintenance Performance Toolbox
is one example of how we have streamlined our maintenance
processes through digital tools,” said Hajime Kaneko, Vice
President of the Digital Transformation Portfolio Management
Department at ANA. “It has greatly reduced the complexity of
managing maintenance information for multiple airplane types
across our entire fleet. We’ve seen efficiency improvements in our
maintenance operations, and we’ll continue to use Maintenance
Performance Toolbox to take advantage of those benefits.”
Boeing is also partnering with AIRDO, an affiliate
of ANA, to provide cabin modification services for 767 airplanes
in its fleet. As part of the agreement, Boeing will execute the
design engineering, certification and supply of parts required for
completion.
“ANA was a development partner for Maintenance
Performance Toolbox and was the first customer to go live with the
platform’s full-fleet capability in 2013,” said Duane Wehking,
Vice President of Digital Aviation Solutions for Boeing Global
Services. “We look forward to continuing to grow and improve
Maintenance Performance Toolbox through our collaboration with ANA
in support of streamlining their maintenance operations.”
Today, nearly 350 airplane operators and their MRO
providers rely on the toolbox to support their engineering and
maintenance operations.
