ST Engineering's Commercial Aerospace business has secured a multi-year component Maintenance-By-the-Hour (MBH™) contract from Japan Airlines.
Under the five-year contract, ST Engineering will provide full integrated component support starting in September 2021 to the entire fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft belonging to Japan Airlines and its low-cost subsidiary, ZIPAIR Tokyo. This adds to an ongoing Boeing 737-800 component MBH™ programme that the Group has with the airline.
As part of a customised solution for Japan Airlines and a growing trend in leveraging digital technologies to derive valuable insights for MRO, ST Engineering will introduce an on-wing component health and reliability management programme. The programme uses an in-house developed software to provide diagnostics and prescriptive advisory by detecting anomalies and predicting components' remaining useful life.
