John Glenn Columbus International Airport cuts inspection documentation time by 68% with Aerosimple

John Glenn Columbus International Airport faced the challenge of managing rigorous daily airfield inspections and ensuring FAA Part 139 compliance using inefficient paper logs and disconnected spreadsheets. This manual system led to delays in maintenance response and a lack of real-time visibility for its operations team, creating significant compliance risks for the busy airport. To modernize its operations, the airport selected the Aerosimple platform.

By implementing Aerosimple's modular digital platform, the airport replaced paper-based processes with real-time inspection workflows, automated work order generation, and streamlined reporting. The results included a 68% reduction in time spent on inspection documentation and a 14-minute faster response time for defect repairs. Most significantly, the airport achieved zero findings in its next FAA Part 139 audit, crediting the complete digital audit trail provided by Aerosimple.
