QOCO Assignment brings together Flight Operations, M&E, and HR into a single, intuitive interface that provides full operational visibility, leverages AI Agents to reduce manual work, and enables cost-efficient, reliable, and modern maintenance.
FRANKFURT, Germany, ESPOO, Finland - Lufthansa has selected a leading aviation software company QOCO Systems to enhance the efficiency of its line maintenance operations through the implementation of QOCO Assignment, a digital workforce and task optimisation platform.
The decision followed a competitive and independently evaluated RFP process conducted by one of Germany’s leading management consultancies. The evaluation was comprehensive and covered all key aspects of maintenance production planning, efficiency, and security, and included a review of all the leading production planning solutions available today. Lufthansa Airlines chose QOCO Assignment as it is a production planning solution that harnesses world-class automation algorithms and artificial intelligence, enabling production planners and supervisors to focus on broader improvements in maintenance efficiency and quality, rather than routine administrative tasks.

As global air travel reaches record levels, airlines are under increasing pressure to improve maintenance efficiency amidst growing constraints. The aviation industry faces a shortage of skilled mechanics and the lingering impact of underinvestment in maintenance infrastructure during the pandemic, which has created operational bottlenecks worldwide.
QOCO Assignment addresses these challenges by integrating flight data, maintenance work packages, and personnel information into a single, intelligent platform that optimises staff utilisation and operational planning. The solution automates and digitises processes that were previously handled manually with spreadsheets or non-integrated tools, resulting in significant efficiency gains.
The system is already in operational use at other European airlines such as Finnair, and Lufthansa Airlines' adoption further validates QOCO’s unique approach to digital transformation in aircraft maintenance. Several additional airlines are currently in the implementation pipeline.
Matti Nevala, CEO of QOCO Systems, commented:
“Being chosen by Lufthansa is a strong validation of our technology and the expertise of our team. The aviation industry is under immense pressure to increase operational efficiency, and our mission is to provide the digital foundation that enables that transformation. We’re proud to support Lufthansa in setting a new standard for data-driven maintenance operations.”
Mathias Ertel from Lufthansa Airlines TechOps Department added:
“QOCO demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of line maintenance and offered a modern, flexible, and scalable solution that aligns with our digitalisation strategy. The QOCO Assignment platform's ability to connect flight schedules, work tasks, and staff data in real-time for automated workforce and task allocation was a decisive factor in our selection.”
With this partnership, Lufthansa Airlines and QOCO Systems are setting a new benchmark for digital transformation in aircraft maintenance. Both organisations look forward to driving operational excellence and shaping the future of efficient, data-driven line maintenance across the aviation industry.
