IFS lands $6m MRO facility deal with Emirates Airlines

The IFS solution will support all business processes including MRO and corporate performance management (CPM). 

The contract includes licences and services worth in excess of US$6 million.

In 2011, Emirates announced the construction of Asia's most technically sophisticated engine overhaul facility in Dubai. 

IFS Applications will support all operations at the 90,000sqm facility which, when fully operational, will service up to 300 engines per year. 

The solution includes IFS's complex assembly MRO feature, which has previously been delivered to Finnair and Alitalia Maintenance Systems. The solution also offers advanced CPM capabilities and integrated support for finance and HR.

"Emirates is one of the world’s most dynamic airlines and its new engine overhaul facility will undoubtedly set new industry standards in MRO process efficiency," said Ian Fleming, MD IFS Middle East, Africa and South Asia. "We are proud to be a part of this project, which reaffirms our leading position in the aerospace industry."

The implementation will be completed in the first half of 2014.
