Ramco ropes in experts to land large airline deals

Chennai: Ramco Systems Ltd has roped in senior airline industry experts, including a former CEO of New Zealand airline, from various geographies to guide it to access large clients. They will also help in getting into certain markets such as Africa, South East Asia and Pacific.
The Chennai-based software company is looking to sell its aviation suite of software solutions to airlines operating over 200 aircraft. This could be the likes of Singapore Airlines, British Airways and Delta Airlines, said Virender Aggarwal, CEO, Ramco Systems. It recently tied up with helicopter manufacturer Eurocopter, and won deals from Emirates and Air India.
“While we are now in the 50-plus airline club, we want to break in into the 200-plus category,” he told Business Line.
Eurocopter recently tied up with Ramco Systems to jointly offer maintenance software to helicopter operators. This partnership agreement enables Eurocopter and Ramco offer new solutions for data on maintenance, repair and overhaul. When Eurocopter sells its helicopters, it can refer and get helicopter owners to use Ramco’s solution and also try and convert their existing fleet to operate with its solution.
