GE Aerospace has announced a ten-year, multi-million-dollar services agreement with Emirates, focusing on the electrical load management system for its Boeing 777 fleet. This agreement is supported by GE Aerospace’s operations in Cheltenham, UK. Emirates is the largest operator of the Boeing 777, boasting a fleet of 143 aircraft.
Electrical load management systems are crucial for enhancing the safety and efficiency of aircraft by optimising the management and distribution of electrical power throughout the aircraft. The programme for Emirates’ Boeing 777 fleet will provide a comprehensive solution for through-life support, encompassing repairs, stock holding, inventory management, programme management, configuration control, engineering change control, technical documentation, obsolescence management, and reliability trend analysis.
As part of this new agreement, GE Aerospace’s inventory in Dubai will be consolidated with Emirates’ stock and stored at Emirates’ facility. This strategic consolidation aims to enhance stock availability and improve lead times, ultimately elevating service levels.
GE Aerospace has developed various integrated logistics management and performance-based logistics programmes as part of its service offerings. Each component of these programmes is customised to meet specific customer requirements, including improved parts availability, shortened supply chains, enhanced operational efficiency and reduced life-cycle costs.
