flydubai fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft
GE Aviation and flydubai today announced that they have reached
an agreement for GE to provide Intelligent Network software for
efficient recovery of disruptions across the airline’s fleet of
Boeing 737 aircraft.
“Airline disruptions occur every day, but it’s how you handle
them that sets you apart,” said John Mansfield, vice president
& Chief Digital Officer for GE Aviation. “Intelligent Network
software as a service gives flydubai the real-time tools to predict
the impact of operational disruptions, to optimize recovery back to
normal operations and to minimize the effect on their
passengers.”
A result of customer collaboration, flydubai and GE Aviation
launched one of the first digital customer solutions built on GE’s
Predix platform in June 2016.
“Passenger experience is critically important to us. We require
a tool to provide improved Customer Service and operational
visibility during interruptions to flight operations.
Understanding the total impact to our passengers and our operation
is of supreme importance,” said Ken Gile, Chief Operating Officer
of flydubai. “Intelligent Network provides a clear snapshot of the
changes in our daily operations when it comes to any possible
disruptions.”
The Predix-based Intelligent Network solution is designed to
help flydubai to minimize the impact of unavoidable delays, enhance
operational understanding, while optimally protecting schedules and
revenue.
Ramesh Venkat, Chief Information Officer of flydubai added, “We
can now understand the knock-on effect across our network and
having this software in place will allow us to quickly make the
best decisions for our operations.”
“By collaborating with customers, we’re better able to
understand their challenges,” continued Mansfield. “This is exactly
how we want to work together and help customers to drive greater
efficiency.”
GE Aviation opened the first Middle East Aviation Technology
Center in Dubai in 2015 to support customers’ operations in the
region. GE Aviation also has a digital center in Austin, Texas and
foundries in San Ramon, Paris and Shanghai.
These advancements in data and analytic technologies are
examples of what GE’s Predix platform for the Industrial Internet
is driving in aviation.
