A road towards airline digitalization

Nowadays, everything around us is connected, and digitalization truly takes over in every aspect of our life. By 2030, the sheer number of Internet of things (IoT) devices alone is estimated to surpass the 25 billion mark worldwide. Airlines are increasingly recognizing this growing interest in digitalization, and for this purpose, Airbus offers a comprehensive portfolio of digital solutions designed to meet and cater to airline needs in the current context.

The Skywise Core Platform is Airbus’ one-stop shop, seamlessly integrating data from various sources. It provides essential tools that enable airlines to effectively navigate their complex operations. Skywise Core centralizes a vast array of information, including aircraft and operational data, Management Information Systems (MIS), and proprietary Airbus insights, bringing it all together in one powerful tool.

The platform's extensive capabilities include exploring all operational data, offering clear visualization, and providing actionable insights. It also enables airlines to create their own customized dashboards. Skywise Core extends to advanced analytics, allowing for the simulation of various scenarios and including machine learning capabilities. This platform aims to cover all potential digital needs for an airline.

But that's just the beginning. Airbus also offers Skywise Fleet Performance+ (SFP+), a dedicated digital solution. This tool addresses three key aspects of maintenance in airline operations: reactive, predictive, and preventive maintenance. With the primary objective of transitioning from unscheduled maintenance to a fully scheduled, optimized program, SFP+ is positioned as a highly effective solution in the market.

SFP+ improves aircraft dispatch reliability by providing real-time monitoring and faster troubleshooting. It also increases aircraft availability by significantly reducing downtime. Furthermore, SFP+ optimizes maintenance programs and improves overall operational performance, enhancing aircraft availability.
