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.
