Boeing to Provide Airplane Health Management System to Qantas
Posted on: Tuesday, 25 March 2008, 09:00 CDT
Boeing has announced that Qantas Airways's fleet of 747-400 airplanes will be monitored by its Airplane Health Management, a software system that helps airlines improve the management of unscheduled maintenance events.
Qantas will also use Airplane Health Management for future 787 Dreamliner deliveries. Qantas's 30 747-400s will use Airplane Health Management to gather and evaluate critical in-flight data on the real-time flying condition of its airplanes, information that can be used across the enterprise to identify and address overall efficiency.
According to Boeing, Airplane Health Management gives airlines insight as to the condition of airplanes in the sky, providing in-flight access to fuel-burn information so airlines can identify and correct problems that might be wasting fuel, as well as data that allow preparation for the airline to minimize or eliminate delays through advance preparation for maintenance procedures.
David Cox, executive general manager of engineering at Qantas, said: "This system will help improve our 747-400 maintenance operations and greatly assist in meeting our customers expectations for punctuality and serviceability."
