Airbus Services has launched the development of a new enhanced Flight Hour Service offering: “FHS Powered by Skywise”. The new service will progressively introduce applications to simplify and accelerate decision-making from identification to delivery and installation of the required parts. This will bring value to airline operations especially by improving aircraft availability while optimising resources utilisation and components’ inventory.

The first A330neo of the Americas has been delivered to Azul Linhas Aéreas on lease from Avolon, becoming the first airline from the Americas to fly the A330-900. The aircraft is the first of 15 A330neo ordered by Avolon.

Digital data opens new horizons in the aerospace industry – and Airbus is leading the way with its Skywise platform, which improves aviation players’ operational performance and business results. In addition to the airlines already benefitting from Skywise, more carriers have signed agreements to use it on their fleets of Airbus-built aircraft.
