"Analytics isn't a magic idea that will deliver results sometime in the future," said David Longridge, Boeing Global Services vice president of sales and marketing, at MRO Europe. "It's real and it's working, here and now. Boeing has been using analytics for years to improve our own operations. Today's announcements underscore the vast amount of prescriptive, predictive and descriptive solutions Boeing AnalytX is already providing to customers today."

Agreements announced today include:

Biman Bangladesh Airlines, a new Airplane Health Management customer, will use the service for its 777-300ER and 737-800 fleets.
