DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s national carrier Saudia has signed an agreement with Boeing to improve fleet operations of the 787 Dreamliner and 777 jets.
The deal will allow Saudia to use Boeing’s services in digital analytics and to modify the cabin interiors of the 777 fleet, the pair announced on Monday.
“As ever, Saudia is continuously focused on operational efficiency, optimal fleet utilization, and deployment,” Ibrahim Koshy, CEO of Saudia, said.
Boeing’s Optimized Maintenance Program (OMP) and Airplane Health Management (AHM) services will allow the Saudi airline to use data in maintenance operations, “improving quality and speed of maintenance decisions,” he added.
The deal also outlines Boeing’s role in modifying the interiors of the 777 fleet, including design, certification, and supplying the parts required for completion.
