Case Study: Des Moines International Airport achieves FAA compliance and operational efficiency with Aerosimple

Des Moines International Airport cuts inspection documentation time 68% with Aerosimple

Des Moines International Airport faced challenges with its paper-based airfield inspection and compliance tracking system, which was prone to errors and inefficiencies. The operations team was juggling clipboards, spreadsheets, and phone calls to manage FAA Part 139 requirements, a process that was difficult to scale and created audit risks. They turned to Aerosimple for a solution.

By implementing the Aerosimple platform, the airport digitized its inspections, work orders, and safety reporting. This solution provided a centralized system that cut inspection documentation time by 52% and reclaimed 90 minutes per supervisor per shift. The measurable impact included an estimated $94,000 in avoided labor costs and, most significantly, zero findings on their next FAA Part 139 inspection.
