Connectivity provider SmartSky Networks has partnered with Neo NextGen to develop customized digital services for MRO providers. Using SmartSky’s Skytelligence platform, the companies are working with Montreal-based aircraft components MRO AJW Technique (AJWT) in the development of these services.

The use of the Skytelligence platform and application programming interfaces is expected to enable access to data that will help Neo NextGen improve workflows and create new efficiencies for MROs. “By working together, we can harness our combined resources and expertise to design a digital workflow that optimizes AJWT’s processes, creating operational efficiencies and unlocking incremental profitability for the component repair business,” said Neo NextGen co-founder and CEO Monica Badra.

SmartSky v-p of marketing and partnerships Brit Wanick said the partnership demonstrates SmartSky’s capabilities beyond providing wireless connectivity to aircraft. “For us, connectivity in aviation is about much more than just the back of the aircraft, and we remain committed to connecting the entire aviation ecosystem by delivering dependable, responsive, and secure access to real-time data from maintenance and performance information to situational awareness,” he added.
