Airbus and Vietnam Airlines aim to reduce emissions in the aviation industry

Airbus will provide maintenance solutions for 65 A321 aircraft of Vietnam Airlines

According to Mr. Anand Stanley, President of Airbus Asia Pacific , Airbus's digital predictive maintenance solution Skywise (SPM) will help airlines reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and contribute to global efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of the aviation industry.

Choosing the SPM solution is an important step for Vietnam Airlines, aiming to maintain safe operations, improve sustainability and technical efficiency. With this long-term agreement, Airbus will provide maintenance solutions for 65 A321 family aircraft (A321ceo and A321neo), marking an important milestone in Vietnam Airlines' digital transformation process.

By harnessing aircraft data collected from the new onboard Flight Operations and Maintenance Exchange (FOMAX), SPM delivers the best predictive recommendations to eliminate unplanned events, reduce operational variability, and reduce unscheduled maintenance costs.

At the same time, SPM also brings efficiency in optimizing spare parts and inventory management, helping airlines reduce CO2 emissions by avoiding unnecessary fuel consumption due to maintenance errors, thereby contributing to more sustainable airline operations.

The new contract builds on Vietnam Airlines’ existing use of Skywise Health Monitor (SHM) to support the airline’s maintenance and engineering teams by enabling real-time management of aircraft events and incidents. This helps the airline identify, prioritize, analyze and resolve operational events, enabling faster decision making and reducing the risk of aircraft downtime.

Airbus Skywise is the world's largest digital aviation community that includes several modules for reliability, predictive maintenance or aircraft condition monitoring powered by the industry's leading big data platform, providing a unique set of turnkey solutions for operators to address technical operational challenges and shape a more sustainable way to operate and maintain Airbus aircraft.

“Vietnam Airlines always aims for safe, sustainable and efficient operations, and our partnership with Airbus through Skywise represents an important step towards these goals,” said Nguyen Chien Thang, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines. “By leveraging digital solutions like Skywise, we are confident in our ability to further reduce our environmental impact while delivering exceptional travel experiences to our passengers.”
