Korean Air has signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Ramco Systems to implement its flagship Ramco Aviation Suite at the airline’s Engine Maintenance Center. This strategic engagement replaces legacy systems to streamline operations at the new Unbuk facility, Asia’s largest engine MRO plant near Incheon International Airport.
The software consolidates all engine MRO capabilities into a single cluster, supporting current shops and future expansions. Ramco’s solution provides comprehensive MRO functionalities, integrated e-publications, mobility apps, dashboards, and ecosystem integrations on a unified platform.
Key enablers include AI-driven planning, predictive analytics, automated workscoping, and configuration control, optimizing bays, resources, and test cells while enforcing compliance. Korean Air services six engine models, and this upgrade strengthens its aircraft engine maintenance, enhancing turnaround times and scalability amid rising demand for complex powerplants like LEAP and GTF.
The partnership with Hanjin Information Systems (HIST), a Hanjin Group subsidiary, accelerates digital transformation using Ramco Aviation 6.0. It positions Korean Air as a global MRO leader by turning maintenance into a strategic advantage through automation and intelligence.
Announced at MRO Americas 2024 in Chicago, the deal bolsters Korean Air’s MRO segment presence and operational efficiency in South Korea’s aviation hub.
