Global Aviation Services Inc. was reaching the limits of its on-premise maintenance management system. Frequent IT interruptions, server and VPN upkeep, and unreliable remote access across satellite bases were consuming valuable time and creating operational friction. At the same time, limited training on their previous WinAir version meant that many powerful features went underutilized – leading to inconsistent processes and inefficiencies across the organization.
As a full-service MRO based in Halifax, Canada, supporting rotary aircraft, turboprops, corporate jets, and commercial fleet types, Global Aviation Services Inc. needed a modern, scalable solution that could support its expanding operations. The opportunity to upgrade to WinAir Version 7 presented a clear path forward.
A Modern Cloud Platform That Eliminates IT Burdens
By transitioning to WinAir Version 7’s cloud-based environment, Global Aviation Services Inc. immediately removed the challenges tied to maintaining their own infrastructure. No more server failures. No more VPN instability. No more barriers to remote access.
Teams across all bases can now connect securely and reliably – anytime, anywhere – which has strengthened coordination and improved response times.
Structured Training That Drives Adoption and Process Improvement
Another transformational element of the upgrade was the ability to leverage WinAir Academy, providing structured, trackable training for new and existing users. This helped the organization reset outdated workflows, align teams on standardized practices, and ensure regulatory training requirements were met through quizzes and certification tracking.
The result? Improved system adoption, higher data accuracy, and more efficient use of WinAir’s capabilities across all departments.
Tools That Enhance Planning and Reporting
WinAir Version 7 introduced Global Aviation Services Inc. to intuitive new tools that streamline planning and maintenance documentation. Features such as Planning Forecast and Maintenance Sticky Report have empowered the team to save time, improve visibility, and make better operational decisions.
“As our MRO and CAMO services expand, WinAir gives us the structure to scale,” says Mark Swanson, Quality Assurance Manager. “Standardized templates, better training, and streamlined workflows help us bring on new aircraft types more efficiently. Moving toward digital records and document management will further reduce paper reliance and strengthen our audit readiness. WinAir is a key part of our growth strategy.”
A System That Supports Today’s Needs and Tomorrow’s Growth
Since upgrading to WinAir Version 7, Global Aviation Services Inc. has seen measurable improvements in efficiency, responsiveness, and standardization. Their teams are now equipped with a forward-looking system designed to evolve alongside their operation.
By eliminating infrastructure challenges, enabling stronger training, and offering robust tools for planning and compliance, WinAir Version 7 has positioned the organization to not only manage its growing complexity, but thrive in it.
