Sitaonair selected by Rolls-Royce to simplify
collection of engine health monitoring data
MRO GEE’s
entertainment
in motion strikes
agreement with the
qyou to distribute
premium short form
content
R
G
olls-Royce has selected SITAONAIR’s AIRCOM® FlightMessenger
to collate and distribute Engine Health
Monitoring (EHM) data from its engines,
which fly on over 6,000 aircraft and
collectively operate for over 100-million hours per year. As part of its 24/7
monitoring service, Rolls-Royce will use
the EHM data distributed by FlightMessenger to anticipate any maintenance
needs and maximize the operational life
of its engines.
Rolls-Royce engines intelligently collect and analyse data during flight. This
data is then transmitted to Rolls-Royce
to support its TotalCare® Service Solutions. Across the engine fleet this data
amounts to thousands of messages per
day. Rolls-Royce wanted a single system
to receive and distribute these messages
to its analytics and operations teams.
FlightMessenger from SITAONAIR was
selected to meet this demand.
FlightMessenger is an integral
component of a suite of products
based on the AIRCOM® Platform,
which has been adopted by over 100
airlines to host and process important
data points for their flight operations.
The service lives alongside AIRCOM®
FlightTracker and FlightPlanner. The
technology enables the processing of
aircraft data in a harmonized, central
and secure way, allowing airlines and
industry manufacturers to improve
operational efficiencies.
“Operational engine data provides
both specific details to enable us to
anticipate any maintenance needs with
individual engines, and information that
allows us to track performance trends
across all our engine types,” said Nick
Ward, Rolls-Royce, Product Manager, Pre-
2
September 1, 2016
dictive Equipment Health Management.
“With over 400 airline and leasing
customers with engines fitted on thousands of aircraft, we have to manage
billions of data points on-board per
flight. FlightMessenger gives us the ability to receive and distribute transmitted
summaries of all that information in
the most efficient way. We then apply
our analytics and draw insights from
this data to provide our customers with
informed decisions that improve their
operations.”
AIRCOM® FlightMessenger is hosted
in SITA’s dedicated Air Transport Industry Cloud, a global infrastructure that
is connected to 380 airports, 17,000 air
transport sites, and 15,000 commercial
aircraft.
“The aviation industry is facing
several challenges relating to data from
new-generation aircraft, and this new
agreement with Rolls-Royce cements SITAONAIR’s position as a trusted provider
capable of supporting every aspect of
aircraft connectivity,” said David Lavorel,
CEO of SITAONAIR.
“By optimising the collection of data,
Rolls-Royce and airline engineers will be
able to organise the maintenance and
servicing of their engines more efficiently to make better use of the aircraft’s
time on the ground.”
The AIRCOM® Server Platform lies
at the heart of SITAONAIR’s connected
aircraft strategy. Through the neutral
and sensitive data processing platform,
SITAONAIR’s integrated applications
play a key role in delivering real value
through a more effective transmission
of aircraft data across multiple fleet
types, not only to airlines but the wider
aviation industry.
EE has entered into a global distribution agreement between GEE’s
Entertainment in Motion and The
QYOU, a leading provider of curated
and hosted online short-form content
for the Video Everywhere age.
The broad-based deal gives GEE
and its affiliated companies access to
The QYOU catalog and new production targeting distinct passengers
with peppy morning, family afternoon and late-night styled content.
The video segments will cover
various categories including extreme sports, artist spotlights, dance,
beauty, and comedy. Content will be
accessible on airline seatback portals
and personal entertainment devices
enabled by airlines and cruise liners.
The agreement grants exclusive and
worldwide airline and maritime distribution rights, and non-exclusive
distributions rights in other U.S. and
Canada non-theatrical markets.
“We’re excited to partner with GEE
to deliver world-class digital content
to audiences inflight and at sea,” said
Curt Marvis, The QYOU’s President
and Co-founder. “GEE’s airline and
maritime passenger reach coupled
with our current viewership will
solidify us as the leaders in the Video
Everywhere market.”
“The addition of The QYOU is our
first agreement for native digital
content, which is exploding in
popularity,” said Neal Rothman,
GEE’s Vice President of Content
Distribution. “This new catalog
further diversifies the content
offered to our customers and
allows us to stay ahead of shifting
viewership trends.”

Aircraft maintenance needs high-tech lift-off
D
ESPITE rapid innovation in the
aviation industry over the last few
decades – from advanced aerodynamics and composite materials to making
planes lighter yet stronger – the technology to support on-ground engineers
maintaining and certifying aircraft is
still stuck in the 20th century.
In the final two decades of the last
millennium, coinciding with the advent
of the Internet, rapid advances have
been made in front-end aviation, such as
dynamic pricing, slicker marketing and
online bookings.
Low-cost carriers (LCCs) are on the rise,
particularly in Asia. Other commercial
aircraft – significantly bigger than previous models, and carrying more passengers or cargo – are made of sophisticated
composites that help reduce fuel consumption, and fly with smart computers
and avionics on board.
Despite these advances, maintenance,
repair and overhaul (MRO) work is largely stuck in the 20th century. Engineers
on the tarmac and in the hangars still
inspect aircraft largely in the same way
as they did decades ago. A great deal of
certification is still done on pen and paper. Parts and logs are checked manually
after landing and before take-off.
Airlines for America and GEE launch dashboard detailing flight (MRO)
operation at U.S. airports
A
irlines for America (A4A), the
industry trade organization for the
leading U.S. airlines, today launched a
new interactive data dashboard designed to provide the traveling public
with access to aggregated flight operations information for U.S. airlines and
airports across the country. The dashboard, displayed at airlines.org, was
produced in partnership with Global
Eagle Entertainment Inc. (GEE) and will
provide the current operation status for
the top 30 U.S. airports by passenger
volume.
A4A partnered with GEE to develop
this dashboard as a resource for industry
partners and others who have a need for
aggregated on-time performance data
at the airport level or based on current
weather patterns.
The dashboard, tapping into GEE’s
unsurpassed aviation data analytics
capabilities, is complete with scrollover maps, real-time flight departures,
completions, cancellations, on-time per-
www.mrobusinesstoday.com
formance and weather conditions at the
national and local airport level. This new
resource also provides a detailed, rolling
30-day analysis of completed and canceled flights. GEE’s solution will enhance
this offering by adding current analysis
tools of all U.S. flight operations.
“Weather conditions can change
quickly and have a significant impact
on U.S. airlines and the 2.2 million
passengers they serve every day across
the globe” noted John Heimlich,
Vice President and Chief Economist for Airlines for America.
“Airline passengers, airlines
and airports now have the most
reliable and current information
about how potential weather
disruptions are impacting travel
at a specific airport or across an
entire region of the country.”
“Global Eagle’s operations
solutions and analytics business
is built on our ability to provide
real-time, in-depth analysis of increasing amounts of big data produced
across the aviation industry,” said Bernard Asare, Vice President, Connected
Aircraft Solutions for GEE. “This is a
powerful and unprecedented approach
to data analytics, and we anticipate
the A4A dashboard becoming a go-to
resource for those in the industry and
policy-makers who want to be better
armed with information.”

Seabury Solutions adds Amaszonas Líneas Aéreas
Group to its growing alkym customer base
S
eabury Solutions, a subsidiary of
Seabury Group and a leading global
aviation software development and
consultancy company, announced that
it has welcomed Amaszonas Líneas
Aéreas Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay
to its growing global customer base.
The three-airline group recently went
through the “GO LIVE” phase of the

Amaszonas Líneas Aéreas Group
President Sergio Urioste remarked:
“The requirement to create order and
organize the management and control
of the group inventory combined
with the maintenance planning and
control drove the initial needs for
a new MRO IT solution.” Based on
that premise, the group started an
assessment process of the different
software solutions alternatives. “It
was very important for the group to
arrange and integrate the different
areas of Maintenance Organizations of
the group’s companies,” added Urioste.
“With that purpose in mind, we started
a study to evaluate the solutions. This
process concluded that Alkym was the
best option because of the application

der the program, Philippine Airlines will
have one wireless IFE-installed aircraft
returned to service every day.
“This agreement with a worldwide
aircraft connectivity leader such as
SITAONAIR capitalizes on our growth to
provide operational support to customers around the world,” says AeroMod
President Gary Girard.
Market analysis by AeroMod reveals that
only 13 percent of non-U.S. airlines have
wireless IFE fully deployed. Despite this, a
recent SITA survey of passengers worldwide showed IFE is now more commonly

consumed via Wi-Fi on a personal device,
rather than on the aircraft’s seat-back
screen (46% vs 44%, with 10% using both).
Additionally, two thirds (65%) of passengers
would choose to access it via their own
devices if wireless IFE was available.
Improving the customer experience is
a key driver for commercial airlines, and
wireless IFE systems allow a wide range
of content to be made available directly
to passengers’ personal devices. SITAONAIR’s system delivers reliability and
cost savings as well as easy installation
and maintenance. Now with AeroMod
rapid installations, these products can be
rolled out across an entire airline’s fleet in
a matter of weeks. All combine to make
an especially appealing fit for airlines.
“86% of passengers take a smartphone
onto a plane and they would prefer to
also use them to access IFE. These networks therefore need to be highly robust
in order to deliver HD quality video to all
passengers,” said David Lavorel, CEO of
SITAONAIR. “AeroMod has an enviable
track record for installations that are both
of exceptional quality and are turned
around quickly, getting the planes back in
the air as soon as possible.”

S
wiss-AS, in cooperation with Lufthansa Systems Americas, is pleased
to announce the recent series of go-lives
of the Avianca Holdings Airlines. This
significant implementation of AMOS
across the whole group started in 2013
and AMOS is now used by 7 subsidiar-
ies of Avianca Holdings in Central and
South America. Only Avianca Ecuador
remains to cut over and will do so soon
to complete the whole group.
The AMOS multi-entity functions
have been designed for airline groups/
holdings which intend to share one
AMOS productive environment while still
keeping the financial data of each entity
of the group separate. Thanks to the AMOS
multi-entity functions the individual

maintenance program allow this large
airline group to harmonize processes, to
have full transparency of data regarding
all members of the group and to centrally
manage all engineering and maintenance
activities of each group member.
Avianca Holdings includes Avianca,
TACA, Aerogal, Tampa Cargo, and other
subsidiaries. The group has the largest
airline network in Latin America, serving
directly over 100 destinations in America
and Europe with one of the most modern
fleet in the region with over 150 aircraft.

Making it first: The collaborative process
of making a new engine come to life
Embraer Executive
Jets earns top
ranking in AIN’s
2016 Product
E
G
E Aviation is well known for
being a world-leading provider
of jet and turboprop engines and
components, but where do we get our
start? How is the very first engine in a
product line assembled?
“Building an engine for the first time
like the GE9X FETT (first engine to test)
requires teamwork across the business,” said Lionel Hamilton, program
manager in Development Assembly at
GE Aviation.
Teams in Engineering, Sourcing and
Supply Chain have been flexing their
FETT muscles. During the last three
years, five new engines were assembled for the first time: Passport (June
2013), LEAP-1A/-1C (September 2013),
Adaptive Engine Technology Development (AETD) (October 2013), LEAP-1B
(June 2014) and, most recently, the
GE9X engine (March 2016).
The teamwork didn’t stop with
FETT. Throughout this same three-year
period, about 90 development engines
were assembled at GE Aviation – marking one of the biggest engine development periods for the business.

Designed for the future: Sizing up Airbus’
new Beluga XL transporter
W
ith development of the new Beluga XL airlifter, Airbus is creating
a platform tailored to meet its evolving
transport needs in the decades to come –
particularly to support future production
ramp-ups for the company’s range of modern single-aisle and widebody jetliners.
The Beluga XL programme was
launched in November 2014, with this
oversized transporter to be utilised for
carrying complete sections of Airbus
aircraft from different production sites
around Europe to the final assembly
lines in Toulouse, France and Hamburg,
Germany.
Based on the airframe of the versatile
A330 jetliner, a total of five Beluga XL
airlifters are to be built, with the first to
enter operational service in mid-2019.
They will gradually replace the existing
fleet of Beluga ST aircraft, which were
www.mrobusinesstoday.com
derived from the shorter-fuselage A300.
“The Beluga XL is really a patchwork,”
said Olivier Delmas, Head of Overall
Aircraft Design for the programme, in
explaining how elements of two A330
jetliner versions are combined for the
Beluga XL. “Geometrically, it is the
forward part of an A330-200F freighter,
with the aft part of an A330-300 variant.”
A large “bubble” airframe section
added to the fuselage’s lower portion takes the Beluga XL’s diameter
from 5.6 metres for an A330 up to 8.8
metres. The cockpit has been lowered
to make space for a main deck with
direct cargo loading/unloading capabilities above it.
Delmas explained this approach was
chosen because no existing aircraft
answered Airbus’ criteria for a new-gen-
eration transporter, and it allowed the
company to create an aircraft capable of
handling its requirements based on the
proven, robust A330 jetliner family.
“We needed the cargo hold to be
45-metres long with an internal diameter of 8 metres, and a payload capability of 50 tonnes,” he added. “These
dimensions can accommodate fuselage
sections and allow us to transport a pair
of A350 XWB wings – something we
can’t do today by air.”
Increasing the Beluga XL’s volume by
30 percent compared to the existing Beluga ST will make the new airlifter much
more cost effective. Further enhancements are to reduce the time needed for
unloading, refuelling and reloading the
aircraft while making its stopovers at
locations across the Airbus production
network.

KC-390 proves high level of maturity in demonstration
flights abroad and follows toward certification in 2017
T
he first prototype of the KC390, next generation multi-mission
aircraft by Embraer, returned to Brazil
after successfully completing its first
international mission, lasting 23 days and
flying more than 48 hours. Currently, two
KC-390 prototypes accumulated more
than 400 flight hours.
Besides participating in the Farnborough Airshow in England, where the
aircraft made its international debut, the
first prototype also conducted demonstration flights with program partners
and potential customers.
Covering more than 16,300 nautical
miles (about 30,200 kilometers) just in
ferry flights, with operations in other
international airports such as Sal (Cape
Verde), Alverca (Portugal) Odolena Voda
(Czech Republic), Cairo (Egypt), Abu
Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) and Malta,
the aircraft demonstrated its high level of
maturity, with availability reaching 100%
during the 16 flights planned and carried
out in locations where the temperature
reached 45° C (113° F).
“This was an excellent opportunity for
some customers to take a closer look at
the aircraft and its innovative features.
The interest around the KC-390 during the
Farnborough Airshow was fantastic, with
the aircraft being visited by more than 20
international delegations”, said Jackson
Schneider, President and CEO of Embraer
Defense and Security. “The positive reaction from potential customers who piloted
the aircraft was of great pride for the company and its employees because the plane
effectively demonstrated its versatility by
fully adapting to the particular characteristics of each operation. We are very
optimistic about the success of the KC-390
in the coming years.”
The aircraft returned to the flight test
campaign, whose focus from now on will
be the certification, which is expected
for the second half of 2017 with the first
delivery scheduled for 2018.
