Philippine Airlines (PAL) is gearing up for a busy travel season. To make sure their planes are in tip-top shape, they’ve signed a five-year deal with Boeing. PAL is going to use Boeing’s Airplane Health Management (AHM) Select, which is a step up from their old system.
Captain Leo Bernabe, who oversees Airline Operations at PAL, said, “We determined that as an OEM solution, Boeing AHM Select offered the best approach to help us maintain our Boeing 777-300ER fleet and ensure greater reliability in the operation of our nonstop transpacific and transpolar flights between Asia and North America.”
Boeing’s AHM Select is not just any health management tool for airplanes. It’s backed by over 20 years of data and Boeing’s own expertise. What does that mean for PAL? Well, it means they’ll get better information for ordering parts, less work for their engineers, and more time in the air for their planes. All of this adds up to better cost management and more efficient operations.
Custom Reports and Future Updates
One feature of AHM Select is its Self-Service Analytics. This lets PAL create their own reports to track down issues that could turn into bigger problems later. It’s like having a crystal ball for airplane maintenance. And Boeing isn’t stopping there. They have plans to make AHM Select even better, with a more user-friendly design and new training materials.
Captain Bernabe is looking forward to what this partnership will bring. He said, “We appreciate that Boeing will be proactively working with us and other airlines in the future to continue to enhance AHM Select, and this will help drive continuous improvement in our operations efficiency.” He also thinks this will be a big help in improving the tech at PAL, which will make flights safer and more reliable in the long run.
So, PAL is making moves to keep their planes flying smoothly. They’ve picked Boeing’s AHM Select as their new tool for airplane health management. This tool offers a lot of perks like custom reports and is set to get even better with future updates. It’s all part of PAL’s plan to make sure they offer safe and reliable flights, especially for those long hauls between Asia and North America.
