Airbus is further extending the capabilities of its digital platform Skywise for airline customers.

The new ‘Skywise Core [X]’ supplements the existing ‘Skywise Core’ offer (now named ‘Skywise Core Origin’) with optional packages. Airbus said this would accelerate customers’ digital transformation journey.

“More than 10,000 aircraft are already connected to the Skywise data platform. This great success is a strong motivation for us to further develop the capabilities of the platform and offer more and more tools to the Skywise user family,” said Airbus’ senior vice president, customer services innovation and digital solutions Lionel Rouby.

“After five years of successful operation, we are implementing several new features following the continuous exchange with our customers and their increasing Skywise use in daily operations.”

The offer brings additional tools and features that Airbus said would empower users to perform more advanced actions on their data, operational applications, and make data driven decisions.

Airbus noted that one key element is the ability to simulate ‘What-If’-scenarios, and to push data from Skywise into external systems like maintenance information systems or enterprise resource planning (ERP) and many others in real-time.

Apart from these technical tools, the solution offers additional services such as a number of collaboration projects, advanced sensor data decoding, academy training, and more. A Skywise Core [X] upgrade will be offered at no cost for a two-year period to any customer signing a new aircraft firm order, Airbus said.
