Raytheon Technologies’ Collins Aerospace InteliSight Aircraft Interface helps flight crews, ground crews, and airline operations teams optimize costs and improve customer service.
Raytheon Technologies has announced that it will install Collins Aerospace’s InteliSight Aircraft Interface Device on more than 200 JetBlue Airways Airbus A320 aircraft. The device captures, records, stores, encrypts, and securely transmits aircraft data to Collins’ cloud platform, GlobalConnect, for real-time access to data, enabling JetBlue to adjust service schedules and improve the sustainability of the aircraft. The solution helps flight crews, ground crews, and airline operations teams optimize costs and improve customer service.
InteliSight solutions can be customized based on their unique, modular structure to address customers’ different needs and are supported 24/7 by a worldwide network. At least one carrier has reported a substantial increase in their data capture rates, up to more than 99%, after equipping its aircraft with InteliSight solutions.
“After an extensive review process, we chose the Collins Aerospace solution,” said Captain Chuck Cook, director communications, navigation, surveillance, and technical programs, JetBlue. “Real-time access to data will allow JetBlue to adjust service schedules and increase the sustainability of these select aircraft,” he further added.
The InteliSight device is a part of Collins Aerospace’s connected aircraft portfolio, which has become the company’s fastest-growing division, experiencing a 20% increase in orders in 2023. The portfolio also includes the Flight Operations and Maintenance Exchanger (FOMAX) and Aircraft Information Manager (AIM).
Jennifer Schopfer, president of Connected Aviation Solutions at Collins Aerospace, said, “JetBlue will see immediate and quantifiable benefits from the digital transformation of these aircraft. The InteliSight data, passed via GlobalConnect, will give JetBlue’s flight operations, engineers, and maintenance teams the information they need to ensure an even more efficient travel experience for their passengers.”
