Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, and All Nippon Airways (ANA) have signed two separate FlightSense renewal agreements today in a signing ceremony at the Singapore Air Show.
The first FlightSense contract is a five-year renewal for on-site support for the airline’s Boeing fleet of 737NG/MAX, 767, 777, 787 aircraft as well as its De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400.
This cost-per-flight hour agreement has been in place since 2001 and provides guaranteed component availability, reduced downtime and cost predictability through a fixed-rate service model.
Under the agreement, Collins will deliver predictive, reliability-based maintenance support to ensure optimal performance of environmental, electrical, and engine control systems.
Ryan Hudson, vice president of Aftermarket for Collins Aerospace’s Power & Controls unit, said: “Our cutting-edge products and services empower our customers to achieve success while maximising their fleet performance.
“Through the FlightSense program, we work closely with ANA to deliver comprehensive solutions, including asset management, logistics support, certified repairs, and predictive health monitoring.
“This all-inclusive support package allows ANA to make customised maintenance decisions, driving enhanced operational efficiency.”
Yukifumi Ueda, vice president and general manager, Engine, Component and Supply Chain at All Nippon Airways, said: “ANA is delighted to reaffirm our long-standing strategic relationship with Collins Aerospace.
“Since 2001, this collaboration has been a cornerstone of the maintenance excellence at ANA Component Technics, an ANA group facility in Nagasaki.
“This renewal further strengthens our operational resilience, allowing us to ensure the highest standards of safety and reliability for our customers.”
Additionally, ANA has signed a three-year extension to the repair agreement that has existed with Collins since 2017 for MRO repair services on accessories for its Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-powered Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Accessories include engine electronic controllers, hydromechanical units, fuel pump systems and variable stator vane actuators.
Iwao Takeshita, vice president, Global Supplier Relations & Planning, All Nippon Airways, said: “We believe the signing of this highly significant agreement marks an exciting new chapter for ANA and Collins.
“This collaboration solidifies our shared commitment to enhancing reliability, improving delivery performance, and ensuring long-term cost-effectiveness.
“We have established an evolved collaborative framework to drive excellence, and we look forward to achieving new milestones together.”
FlightSense is a full lifecycle maintenance support program tailored to support airlines’ specific operational requirements, enabling improved operational performance.
