In their own words
AIMS
AIMS provides airline systems for crew management, operations control, and commercial planning. Crew functions cover manpower planning, pairings, leave, training, assignments, legality checks, and statistics; the eCREW portal gives staff personal and flight information, leave requests, messaging, and duty swaps. Operations Control handles aircraft movement management, maintenance planning, schedule construction, and disruption recovery. Commercial Planning compares schedule scenarios and estimates revenue, cost, and profit. The system processes SITA movement and load messages, ACARS messages, and IATA ASM, SSM, and SSIM data. Airlines can use SaaS hosting on AIMS Cloud at Amazon AWS in Frankfurt, Germany, or install and maintain it in-house. Mobile apps provide access to the AIMS Web Portal, and e-Ops supports mobile operations monitoring. AIMS says it is approved by more than 50 National Civil Aviation Authorities, including EASA and FAA, and holds ISO 27001 Security Standards certification. Pricing is available on request, with crew and aircraft counts requested. Crew Check-In / Check-Out is available only in crew-room PCs through a web browser.
