Global aerospace company, Embraer, and Mexican State-owned airline, Mexicana have signed a long-term agreement to implement Embraer’s Aircraft Health Analysis and Diagnosis (AHEAD) platform across the airline’s E2 fleet.
AHEAD to Support Fleet Monitoring
Under the agreement, Mexicana will deploy Embraer’s AHEAD platform to monitor aircraft systems and identify potential faults before they develop into operational disruptions.
The platform provides real-time monitoring of systems including the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), fuel, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, avionics, engines, navigation, air conditioning, and flight controls. AHEAD analyses data in-flight and on the ground using its advanced analytics and predictive algorithms.
Mexicana CEO, Leobardo Ávila Bojórquez, said:
“[AHEAD] allows us to strengthen our operational performance as our fleet and route network grow, all while we continue connecting Mexico with Mexico.”
Embraer Key to E2 Expansion
The agreement comes as Mexicana continues to expand of its E2 fleet. The airline currently operates five E195-E2s and five E190-E2s aircraft, making it the first and only airline in Mexico to operate aircraft from Embraer’s E2 family.
“This agreement with Mexicana represents an important step in strengthening our long-term collaboration, at a time when the airline continues to expand its operations with the E2 family,” said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Services and Support.
Naufel added that Embraer intends to support the airline as it expands its fleet and route network over the next years, helping Mexicana fulfill its mission to connect Mexico with Mexico and expand access to air travel for more people throughout the country.
