Hawai’i Island Air Selects RAAS

Honolulu, Hawai’i, USA – August 24, 2016 – Island Air has selected RAAS for complete management of aircraft maintenance processes including technical records, quality assurance, reliability, material management, procurement and expense tracking.

Island Air is an established regional airline with very experienced staff and comparably high-standards for what they feel a complete aviation maintenance system solution should look like. After significant due diligence, Island Air selected RAAS on the basis that RAAS meets their complete functional criteria, and as well the RAAS technological platform offers an extremely flexible application delivery model that, combined with AIS implementation services, is essentially a fully provisioned turn-key solution.

Island Air Director of Maintenance, Porter Mackenzie, says, “The RAAS suite completely meets our business requirements. Coming from a legacy system solution we expect to see substantial gains in manpower efficiency and decision support, and the data analysis features of RAAS are expected to lead to substantial cost savings within our maintenance operations.”
