SAN FRANCISCO, March 1 (Xinhua) -- U.S. aerospace giant Boeing Company said Thursday that it has won three orders from Russia to provide its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to its Russian customers, which will grow Boeing's analytics solutions in the country.
Boeing said in a statement that the agreements cover AerData's Engine Fleet Planning and Costing (EFPAC) system for managing leased and owned engines as well as crew scheduling solutions.
Each software product drives operational efficiency through analytics methods and tools powered by Boeing AnalytX, an analytics solution offered by the U.S. aircraft leader aimed at helping its customers make data-informed decisions to slash fuel costs, perform predictive maintenance, and build smarter flight plans and crew schedules.
"Today's orders demonstrate Russian carriers' continued investment and progress in transforming their operations with advanced digital and analytics solutions," said Ken Sain, vice president of Digital Aviation and Analytics at Boeing Global Services (BGS).
The BGS, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, operates as Boeing's third business unit by integrating the services capabilities of the government, space and commercial sectors into a single, customer-focused business.
Sain said the new deals will expand Boeing's longstanding presence in Russia and provide value for airline customers who will optimize engine lifecycle costs and manage crew needs.
It will also help Russian air carriers to optimize monthly production planning, predict crew alertness, enhance visibility into crew fatigue and mitigate risks in the crew management process.
