Washington, DC - JDA Aviation Technology Solutions today announced that Southwest Airlines has contracted through its General Counsel office with JDA to evaluate its maintenance programs and to make recommendations on how the airline can improve its maintenance processes.
The JDA team of maintenance experts will begin the assessment immediately and provide Southwest with a complete report of findings and recommendations. JDA also will implement maintenance manual and system safety changes to ensure that the carrier's maintenance and safety practices comply with FAA regulatory requirements and conform to FAA system safety policies and guidance. "This is the type of review that every air carrier should be doing on a periodic basis", said Joe Del Balzo, JDA President and CEO.
JDA has been instrumental in assisting other air carriers with developing their Air Transportation Oversight System (ATOS) and System Safety implementations using its CertAssureTM product.
