AISmartPlan
AISmartPlan uses AI to build airline maintenance production plans, matching engineers to aircraft around flight schedules and workforce limits. Aer Lingus signed a multi-year agreement in May 2026.
The product is developed by Redback Software of Sydney and launched in 2023, with a team of up to ten. It combines flight schedules, aircraft availability and staff constraints into an optimised plan, replacing manual planning.
IAG announced the Aer Lingus deal after a three-month build from proof of concept to production through its IAGi accelerator, and it could extend to other IAG airlines. Aer Lingus's planning manager says work that took hours each day now takes minutes.

Products & Solutions
1 productAISmartPlan Platform
An AI-powered aircraft line maintenance planning platform that integrates with existing Maintenance and Engineering (M and E) software systems. The platform automates task scheduling, provides an AI assistant for queries and reporting, supports real-time planner collaboration, and delivers custom dashboards.
Manual maintenance planning is time-intensive and error-prone; airlines struggle to match thousands of task forecasts to available ground time and resources efficiently. AISmartPlan automates this scheduling to reduce planner workload, extend parts lifespan, and improve labor utilization.
