British Airways announced today that it will use Boeing’s Airplane Health Management (AHM) system to monitor the condition of more than 100 aircraft.Through the MyBoeingFleet.com portal, BA will be able to track in-flight faults and make operational decisions around maintenance so that changes can be made as soon as the airplane arrives at the gate. BA hope this will minimise disruptions and make the airline more efficient.Garry Copeland, Engineering Director at BA said: “The Boeing AHM system will allow us to continuously improve aircraft downtime, minimize delays and analyse aircraft performance trends. The system has proved very effective during our testing, so we are pleased to be rolling it out across the long-haul fleet.”Airplane Health Management is a key component of Boeing’s larger vision of Lifecycle Solutions, which uses digital tools to provide expertise on products and the industry. The AHM system will be used on the airline’s current 777 and 747-400 fleets and for future deliveries including 787 Dreamliners.
