ZHUHAI, China -- (Business Wire)
Xiamen Airlines signed an agreement with GE Aviation on the Event
Measurement System (EMS) based Flight Analytics Services to further
extend their strategic cooperation in digitalization. This service
enables customers to effectively enhance flight safety, optimize fuel
efficiency and reduce operational costs for the airline’s fleet.
“We have enjoyed a healthy business relationship with GE Aviation since
1992,” said Zhao Dong, President of Xiamen Airlines. “As the early user
of GE Aviation’s digital solutions in China, we are excited to further
extend our collaboration and continue to view GE Aviation as the
preferred team to power our continuous growth.”
GE Aviation’s highly comprehensive digital system enables customers to
better manage operations with data-driven solutions and insights. The
EMS-based flight analytics service integrates data sources like flight
information, weather, navigation, flight plans, and other operational
data, and uses a powerful analytics engine to extract valuable insights
for airline customers.
“Improving flight safety and efficiency are among the leading priorities
of airlines today. This agreement for digital services is an important
milestone in our long-standing relationship,” said Chaker Chahrour, vice
president and general manager of Global Sales & Marketing at GE
Aviation. “We are honored to work with Xiamen Airlines to drive digital
transformation and release a wide array of products and services for the
airline.”
“The sophisticated flight analytics, together with the local team’s
experience will enable Xiamen Airlines to better manage operations with
data-driven solutions,” said John Mansfield, vice president and chief
digital officer for GE Aviation. “We are bringing together analytics
with physical assets to help customers significantly reduce their cost
and increase their operational efficiency.”
Xiamen Airlines currently operates a 208-aircraft fleet, majority of
which are powered by engines from GE or CFM International, a 50/50 joint
company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines. Earlier this year, both
parties signed an MoU to further strengthen the strategic cooperation on
fleet management support and services, digital solutions, leadership
training and aviation health management programs, as well as
intra-industrial alignment and cooperation to support the globalization
of Xiamen Airlines.
