AirAsia and GE Aviation have signed a four-year agreement for GE
to provide the electronic Flight Operations Quality Assurance
(eFOQA) and the FlightPulse pilot application for AirAsia’s fleet
of about 355 A320 and A330 aircraft and 4,000 pilots.
“FlightPulse is a mobile flight data application that provides
pilots with data and analytics to help them fly more efficiently
and help reduce carbon emissions,” said Andrew Coleman, chief
commercial officer for GE Aviation. “The app puts valuable
information that was previously only available at a fleet wide
level or used by analysts directly into the hands of the people
flying the aircraft – the pilots.”
GE Aviation’s eFOQA service uses flight data generated by the
aircraft and its systems and applies proprietary data management
and analytics technology to help AirAsia better manage their fleet,
providing previously unavailable insight into their operations.
“We are very excited to be partnering with GE Aviation on this
very visual application that will allow our pilots to tap into
safety and fuel consumption data on a per flight basis. We are
certain of the positive impact this will have on the overall cost
of operation at AirAsia, with anticipated savings of up to one
percent,” said Captain Adrian Jenkins, chief operations officer for
AirAsia, during the signing ceremony.
FlightPulse and eFOQA are being implemented into AirAsia’s
operations in 2018.
GE’s FOQA analytics service is an online solution for airline
flight data monitoring/FOQA programs. eFOQA provides speed,
accuracy and scalability to proactively manage risk in flight
operations. The core offering provides data ingestion, processing
analytics, and has options for expanded data sources, analytics
editing, and data exporting/integration with systems. The
connectivity suite allows deeper integration of the valuable flight
data and analytics– previously available only to safety analysts -
with other systems in the airlines operations, providing insights
to a range of departments in the airline.
FlightPulse, the first fully commercialized product to be
developed with mobile services from GE’s Predix platform, uses
recorded aircraft data and smart analytics to enable pilots to
securely access their individual operational efficiency metrics and
trends.
FlightPulse provides pilots with flight data in a very visual
way, allowing them to see firsthand the amount of fuel used at
different stages of a flight and how they can help to reduce carbon
emissions.
