Philippine Airlines has tapped Airbus Flight Hour Services (FHS) to support the maintenance requirements of its A350-900 aircraft.
The Airbus FHS, powered by Skywise, provides the highest reliability for operators of the A350.
Under the agreement, Airbus will handle component services, repair, warehousing and transportation for PAL, supported by Airbus FHS pools in Hong-Kong.
It will allow for a proactive component engineering, with strong engineering focus that enables operators to predict in-service issues. This will lead to an improvement in operations by reducing delays, and help to simplify troubleshooting.
The Airbus FHS will be strengthened by Airbus’ data platform Skywise, taking advantage of state-of -the- art data hosting and analytics to optimize the airline fleet utilization. The new service will harness ‘big data’ to greatly enhance levels of operational performance, compared with current industry technologies.
