Qatar Airways taps RTX's Collins Aerospace to optimise 787 fleet health, maintenance

Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, has been selected by Qatar Airways to provide its Ascentia analytics solution to the airline’s fleet of 52 Boeing 787 aircraft.

Ascentia leverages aircraft sensor data and analyses real-time information against historic fleet records and advanced statistical models, allowing airlines to monitor system conditions and generate predictive insights into component health and performance.

The platform is designed so that airlines can use these data elements to help reduce unscheduled maintenance events, limit aircraft downtime, and improve on-time performance.

"What sets the Collins Ascentia solution apart is our role as the system OEM, enabling us to deliver precise, real-time recommendations that minimise flight disruptions and enhance the reliability of air travel," said Nicole White, vice president and general manager of Connected Aviation at Collins Aerospace.

At present, Ascentia analytics supports nearly 40% of 787s in operation worldwide.

RTX is the world's largest aerospace and defence company, with more 185,000 employees and over $80bn in annual sales in 2024.
