Kenya Airways, a member of the Sky Team Alliance and leading African airline flying to 55 destinations worldwide, has chosen General Electric Aviation for the Flight Operations suite of digital products across the airline’s fleet of Boeing 737, 787 and Embraer E190 airplanes.
Kenya Airway’s fleet adds to the 15,468
unique aircraft assets that are connected to GE Aviation’s digital
solutions. Implementation is currently underway with completion this year.
In a press release by APO Group “Kenya Airways was looking for a way to monitor
fleet performance, implement and track fuel saving initiatives across their
network and empower their pilots to help drive efficiency,” said John
Mansfield, chief digital officer for GE Aviation at the signing ceremony held
on June 18th at the Paris Air Show.
“The Flight Operations suite
provides these insights and is scalable to provide additional functionality.”
The Flight Operations suite integrates GE’s Event Measurement System (EMS),
flight analytics, FlightPulse and fuel efficiency services.
GE’s EMS and FOQA systems are being
used on 8,932 aircraft including flight analytics service integrating data
sources like flight information, weather, navigation, flight plans, and other
operational data to provide valuable insights for airline customers around fuel
use and operations. Kenya Airway’s 425 pilots add to the 57,702-airline crew
relying on GE Aviation’s Network Crew Optimization.
Paul Njoroge, director of operations, Kenya Airways said, “The partnership with
GE Aviation will empower Kenya Airways to optimise its fuel costs and excel in
flight operations. GE brings a wealth of knowledge to help the airline
fast track efficiencies enabling improvements in operations and customer
experience.”
Clare Ward, chief information officer, Kenya Airways, noted that the airline
chose GE Aviation because of its leadership and innovation in flight analytics
and deep aviation experience. “By partnering with GE, Kenya Airways is
accelerating the move to leading edge technologies in analytics and machine
learning,” she said.
“Our aim is to help Kenya Airways reduce their multi-million-dollar fuel bill
and increase their overall efficiency, said Mansfield. “The fidelity in our
flight analytics, together with the team’s experience from analyzing more than
175 million flights, will enable Kenya Airways to better manage operations with
data-driven solutions. We are bringing together analytics with physical assets
to help significantly reduce cost.”
