...Utilize real-time data capabilities across Airbus A380 and A350 fleets for improved operational performance
Emirates has taken a significant step toward advancing its fleet management and operational efficiency by partnering with Airbus to implement the Skywise Fleet Performance+ (S.FP+) predictive maintenance solution and the Core X3 analytics platform. The agreement, signed by Ahmed Safa, Head of Emirates Engineering, and Laurent Negre, Vice President of Customer Services for Airbus Africa and Middle East, underscores Emirates’ commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for enhanced safety and operational excellence.
The adoption of Airbus’s S.FP+ solution will enable Emirates to improve aircraft dispatch reliability and make data-driven decisions for its Airbus A380 and A350 fleets. By utilizing real-time aircraft performance and health data, Emirates Engineering teams can identify potential issues during flights and plan maintenance actions more effectively during turnarounds.
Ahmed Safa, Head of Emirates Engineering, commented: “As a highly efficient, customer-centric operation, Emirates is always looking at ways to leverage leading-edge technologies that improve operational reliability and punctuality, minimise unscheduled downtime, and ensure our fleet operates at the highest standards, ultimately elevating the customer experience. Adopting Airbus’s Skywise Fleet Performance+ is a step forward to support our Airbus fleet, harnessing the latest advancements, and transforming traditional maintenance activities into streamlined, precision-led processes that optimise our time in the skies.”
Laurent Negre, Vice President of Customer Services for Airbus Africa and Middle East, added: “We are proud to strengthen our collaboration with Emirates through the implementation of Skywise Fleet Performance+ and Core X3. These solutions will enhance fleet performance and reliability, reduce downtime, and support operational efficiency passengers will benefit from, too.”
The Skywise Fleet Performance+ platform offers automated pre-departure monitoring of cabin temperatures, operations, and key systems, supported by advanced analytics. It integrates Aircraft Condition Monitoring System (ACMS) data for critical aircraft monitoring, delivers predictive diagnostics with real-time alerts, and provides comprehensive insights into the status of Emirates’ Airbus A380 and A350 fleets. The Core X3 analytics platform will further enhance Emirates Engineering’s ability to manage vast amounts of data, connecting various systems for unified, up-to-the-minute insights through an intuitive user interface accessible to multiple teams.
Emirates Engineering has a long history of utilizing aviation analytics and operational insights to maximize fleet availability while optimizing costs and network efficiencies. The airline is currently deploying advanced digital technologies to enhance maintenance operations, including next-generation prognostic and predictive maintenance solutions. Additionally, Emirates is working on implementing drone-assisted aircraft inspections and exploring the use of virtual and augmented reality for maintenance tasks.
As one of the world’s most technologically advanced aircraft maintenance facilities, Emirates Engineering supports the largest fleets of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft globally. The team oversees all aspects of maintenance, engineering, quality, planning, and logistics for the airline. Operating from a sprawling 400,000-square-meter facility at Dubai International Airport, Emirates Engineering’s 12 hangars are among the largest free-spanned structures in the Middle East.
