IFS announced that Japan Airlines (JAL) has initiated a project to implement IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance, aiming to modernise its aircraft maintenance management system that has been in operation for over 15 years.
IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance has a proven track record with major international airlines, offering an integrated solution that combines aircraft, engine, and component maintenance capabilities with corporate functions such as supply chain, spare parts inventory management, finance, and project management. Through this implementation, JAL aims to enhance aircraft quality and operational availability.
JAL set out to transition from on-premise systems to a cloud-based platform designed for long-term scalability—not just to serve a single function, but to support future growth across the business.
An aviation maintenance specialist from the IFS Aerospace and Defence division, with experience in deployments at other leading organisations, has traveled to Japan to work closely with JAL’s maintenance and IT departments. Together, they will conduct a detailed assessment of operational alignment with IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance, with the goal of full implementation.
Scott Helmer, President, IFS Aerospace & Defence, commented: “By choosing IFS Cloud, JAL is adopting a platform built to drive operational efficiency and deliver long-term value through the latest advances in Industrial AI. From predictive maintenance to real-time analytics and workflow automation, IFS Cloud will equip JAL with the tools needed to streamline operations, optimise performance, and scale for future growth in an increasingly competitive and dynamic industry. We are proud to provide JAL with a resilient, AI-powered platform to lead the future of aviation in Japan and beyond.”
