Emirates Airlines invest in digital maintenance technologies from Airbus

Emirates Airlines has signed an agreement with Airbus to implement the SkyWise Fleet Performance+ advanced aircraft maintenance and fleet health monitoring, in addition to the Core X3 analysis platform, as part of the carrier’s commitment to operational excellence and safety through the strategic management of the fleet.

The agreement was signed by Ahmed Safa, Head of the Emirates Engineering and Maintenance Department, and Laurent Nigeri, Vice President of Customer Services in Airbus Africa and the Middle East.

The adoption of this advanced system of Airbus will contribute to enhancing the reliability of the operating aircraft, while enabling strategic decisions based on data for the Emirates Airlines fleet of A380 and A350 aircraft, and through the advanced capabilities of the platform, the Emirates Airlines engineering team will be able to monitor the performance of the aircraft and their actual time, Determining possible problems during the trip, and taking the necessary maintenance decisions during stopping periods between trips.

Efficiency and excellence efficiency

“Emirates Airlines is among the leading companies in the efficiency of operation and excellence in the service, and from this standpoint, we always seek to adopt the latest technologies that enhance the reliability of operations, accuracy of appointments, and reduce stopping periods other than The planned, which ensures the operation of our fleet according to the highest international standards, and contributes to the advancement of customer experience. It guarantees the optimal use of our fleet in the atmosphere. “

“We are proud to enhance our cooperation with Emirates through the implementation of these advanced systems that will enhance the performance and reliability of the fleet, reduce the time of stopping work, and support the operational efficiency that will benefit from it Passengers also. “

Skywise Fleet Performance Plus is characterized by its ability to automatically monitor before taking off the cabin temperatures, processes and basic systems, supported by advanced analyzes. The system also compresses the ACMS monitoring system data to monitor the performance of aircraft accurately, and provides predictive diagnoses with alerts and immediate solutions, as well as providing comprehensive visions on the condition of the Emirates Airbus A380 and A350.

Incorporation of the Core X3 analysis platform will enable engineering teams to manage huge amounts of data, and link various systems to a unified source of accurate and incidentally updated information, through an advanced user interface that facilitates use by different teams.

Promote readiness

UAE engineering center teams depend on weather analyzes and operational visions to enhance the operational readiness of the fleet and achieve cost efficiency and network. The carrier is currently employing the latest digital technologies to accelerate the improvements to maintenance operations, as well as advanced maintenance and diagnostic maintenance technologies. Work is currently being employed on the drones in aircraft examination, and the teams also explore virtual reality applications and enhanced in future maintenance tasks.

The Emirates Engineering Center is one of the most technologically developed aircraft maintenance facilities in the world, supporting the largest fleet of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380, and the team takes all aspects of maintenance, engineering, quality, planning and logistical services for the carrier.

The Emirates Engineering Center operates from a huge facility that extends over an area of ​​400,000 square meters at Dubai International Airport, and includes 12 aircraft barn among the largest unnecessary structures in the Middle East.

In 2023, Emirates Airlines announced an investment of $ 950 million to create a new, high -modern engineering facility at Al Maktoum International Airport (PRDDDC Central), which will extend over an area of ​​one million square meters, to become the largest and most advanced of its kind at the level of air carriers.

This project will contribute to strengthening the aviation infrastructure in Dubai, as it was designed specifically to support the Emirates Airlines fleet and its operational requirements until the year 2040 and beyond, and it will be a distinction center for engineering and commercial maintenance services in the Middle East, with the possibility of providing additional capacity to serve other carriers.
