Digital Records System Streamlines Leased Asset Documents
Le Bourget, FRANCE - June 17, 2019 - GE Aviation and Avation PLC today announced an agreement to provide the AirVault Asset Transfer System across the lessor's fleet of ATR72 turboprops, A220-300 A320 and A321 narrow-body jets, Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A330-300 twin-aisle airplanes. The implementation is starting this month, with anticipated completion this year.
"By providing the expertise to digitally manage mission-critical records across Avation's fleet, we're strengthening the focus on asset lifecycle management and maintenance optimization for the aviation industry," said Gib Bosworth, director for GE Aviation.
The combination of GE's domain expertise in flight analytics and engine diagnostics to bring disparate data together and the digital leased asset transfer system capability will further enable web-based fleet maintenance across the aviation leasing market.

The system enhances the efficiency of lease returns by helping operators organize files, perform collaborative document reviews with their lessors, and transfer files through an intuitive and digital user interface.
Bosworth added, "The ability to connect records and data across aviation companies and the IT systems they use to manage their fleets will data availability and drive productivity."
