AMOS vs SkyPlannerHub: Two Approaches to Aviation Maintenance Software

If you are choosing maintenance software for an airline, an MRO or a CAMO, AMOS will almost certainly be on your list. It is one of the reference systems in the sector. This article compares AMOS with SkyPlannerHub honestly: where AMOS is stronger, where SkyPlannerHub offers something different, and which kind of organisation each one suits.

The information about AMOS comes from public sources published by its vendor, Swiss AviationSoftware (Swiss-AS), as of October 2026. If something has changed, tell us and we will correct it.

Summary

What AMOS does well

An honest comparison starts by recognising the strengths of the other side.

• Maturity and installed base. Swiss-AS reports more than 270 customers, more than 10,000 aircraft managed in AMOS and more than 180,000 users. Few systems in the sector have that track record.
• Proven at large operators. AMOS runs at flag carriers and airline groups with large, complex fleets.
• A complete maintenance and engineering scope. Maintenance programmes, planning, stores, line and base maintenance, and mobile execution with AMOSmobile.
• Continuous evolution. Swiss-AS publishes regular releases, and the product evolves with input from its global customer base.

If you run a large airline that wants a proven standard product and has the internal team to configure and operate it, AMOS is a solid option.

Customisation: specific adjustments for each company

This is the biggest difference in approach.

AMOS is a standard product shared by hundreds of organisations. It adapts to each customer through configuration and an integrated workflow engine. If one of your processes does not fit that common model, ask how it is solved and what it costs: AMOS pricing is quote-based. Before you decide, get the cost of each custom change in writing.

SkyPlannerHub is designed to fit each specific company, at two levels.

Per-company configuration

• Custom fields on customers, articles and stock items, to store the data your organisation needs.
• Configurable states and transitions in maintenance workflows, with the validations each step requires.
• Your own forms and automations that trigger actions on a status change or on a schedule.
• Modules per organisation: you switch on only what you use.

Specific features for your company

When a process does not fit the configuration, our team builds that specific feature for your company, inside the platform. It is not a separate project: the request goes straight to the people who build the product.

Scope: maintenance and the rest of the business together

AMOS focuses on maintenance and engineering. Swiss-AS describes standardised interfaces to connect it with ERP systems, flight operations and analytics platforms. For finance, HR or customer management, an AMOS customer usually runs a second system and integrates it.

SkyPlannerHub includes those areas in the same platform:

• HR: time tracking, shifts, holidays, absences and overtime.
• Technician licences and training: Part-66 categories, type ratings, NDT qualifications and training records, with expiry warnings.
• CRM: customers, contacts and opportunities with their full history.
• Finance: budgets, expenses and invoicing, with Spanish e-invoicing (Verifactu and FacturaE).

For a small or mid-sized MRO, this avoids buying, integrating and maintaining two or three separate systems. The hours a technician books on a work order are the same hours that reach HR and the customer invoice.

Modernisation: 100% in the cloud

Aviation maintenance is moving from paper and on-premise servers to digital, connected processes. SkyPlannerHub was born that way.

• 100% cloud. There are no servers to install and no versions to migrate. Swiss-AS now offers AMOScloud, and reports that around 40 customers have already migrated from on-premise installations.
• Access from anywhere. From the browser or the native iOS and Android apps, to check or review any data away from the office.
• Customer portal. Your customers check the status of their work orders in their own portal, without calling or emailing to ask.
• Sign-off with authorisation control. When the work is certified, the system checks that the technician holds the licence and type rating for that aircraft.
• Real-time data. SkyPlannerHub brings flight positions and the weather at each station into planning, so the plan follows the real operation.
• AI and analytics. SkyPlannerHub includes predictive maintenance and data-driven recommendations, plus customisable dashboards.
• Traceability with RFID. SkyPlannerHub also works with RFID traceability under ATA Spec 2000 for parts and components.

Which one fits your organisation?

AMOS fits better if you are a large airline or airline group, you want a standard product with a large user community, and you have an internal team to configure and operate it.

SkyPlannerHub fits better if you are a small or mid-sized MRO, operator or CAMO, your procedures do not fit a generic model, you want maintenance, HR, CRM and finance in one platform, or you need a team that tailors the software to your company.

Questions to ask in any evaluation

1. How much does a custom development cost? Is it included in the fee or quoted separately?
2. Can the system follow my MOE procedures without changing them?
3. Who makes a change when a process does not fit, and how long does it take?
4. Which areas of my business will still need another system, and who maintains the integration?
5. What is the total cost over three years: licences, implementation, integration, hosting and support?
6. Can I see a demo with my own cases and data, not a standard presentation?
