Emirates and GE Aviation expand digital partnership

GE Aviation and Emirates are working together toward adoption of GE's electronic Flight Operations Quality Assurance (eFOQA) and Flight Pulse among the Emirates pilot community.

The proposed project plans to start with Emirates fleet of B777 and A380 aircraft and Emirates pilots.

Emirates and GE Aviation intend for FlightPulse and eFOQA to be implemented into Emirates operations in 2020. 

Andrew Coleman, chief commercial officer for GE Aviation, commented: "FlightPulse provides pilots with data and analytics to help them fly more efficiently and help reduce carbon emissions.

"By expanding upon the digital solutions already in use by Emirates, will enable them to get more benefit from a comprehensive use of flight analytics and services."

FlightPulse is a mobile app that uses aircraft data and smart analytics to enable pilots to access their own flying metrics and trends. FlightPulse can be used to optimise efficiency, reduce operational risk, and improve pilot awareness or any other positive outcome possible through advanced flight data analytics. 

GE Aviation's eFOQA service uses flight data generated by the aircraft and its systems and applies proprietary data management and analytics technology to help Emirates better manage its fleet, providing previously unavailable insight into their operations.
