Boeing Acquires AeroInfo Systems
AeroInfo is a provider of web-based airline maintenance and related software applications. It's flagship product is MaintStream suite of software applications for aviation maintenance planning, scheduling and tracking. The product can be deployed as an off-the-shelf system or accessed over the Internet via application service providers.
The move adds AeroInfo Systems' aviation maintenance planning technology to Boeing's growing portfolio of aviation services. Financial terms of the transaction, which Boeing completed on Sept. 1, were not disclosed.
According to Boeing VP and General Manager of Customer Support Brad Cvetovich, airline customers have asked Boeing to provide them with a total maintenance planning solution that covers their entire fleets, no matter what type of airplane they operate.
"Acquiring AeroInfo's intellectual capital and technology will allow Boeing to enter this market two years faster than if we were to develop a similar maintenance planning product on our own."
Earlier this month Boeing also announced its intention to acquire maintenance information services provider Continental Graphics Inc., and flight information services provider Jeppesen Sanderson Inc.
