AerData, a Boeing Company, will be providing their EFPAC (Engine Fleet Planning And Costing) software to Emirates, an airline based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. AerData’s software and services enhance efficiencies and improve competitiveness for customers, including some of the world’s largest airlines, lessors and MROs.
EFPAC helps customers optimize engine maintenance planning, engine spares availability and budgets. It uses algorithms to estimate component life and produce a visualization of the most optimized plan. The optimized plans forecast engine component life, shop visit prerequisite details and reduce costs in both maintenance and downtime.
Customers have stated that EFPAC reduces their yearly engine maintenance costs by 10-15 percent or more, saving potentially tens of millions of dollars per year for a fleet. This is because EFPAC evaluates in hours what typically takes an airline weeks to examine using other methods.
Ahmed Safa, Emirates senior vice president, engineering support services said, “We are delighted to have enhanced our partnership with AerData by adding the EFPAC software to our portfolio. EFPAC will help replace a manual planning process for Engine maintenance at Emirates Engineering with an automated system resulting in faster and better decision making. Since the implementation of STREAM in 2013, AERDATA has worked closely with Emirates Engineering to understand our requirements and to constantly improve their systems based on our feedback.”
