Korean Air and Boeing have signed an agreement to enhance collaboration in predictive maintenance, aiming to further improve fleet reliability.
Korean Air and Boeing Sign Predictive Maintenance Agreement at MRO Asia-Pacific 2025
Korean Air and Boeing are expected to strengthen collaboration in predictive maintenance.
The companies signed an agreement at the MRO Asia-Pacific 2025 Conference in Singapore. The enhanced partnership is expected to focus on advancing data-driven maintenance methodologies.
The aspect of improvement includes technologies to monitor component health by analysing fleet-wide operational data, thereby improving operational readiness, maximising aircraft availability, and reducing maintenance costs and flight disruptions.
Korean Air Senior Vice President and Head of Maintenance and Engineering Chan Woo Jung said:
“Korean Air has made substantial progress in enhancing fleet reliability through our Smart MRO strategy, specifically by leveraging predictive maintenance. This strategic collaboration with Boeing will build on that success, taking our capabilities to the next level.”
Boeing Global Service Senior Director of Digital Services Crystal Remfert said:
“United by a shared mission to leverage predictive maintenance analytics for improved efficiency and fleet reliability, Korean Air’s extensive operational experience pairs well with Boeing’s engineering expertise and advanced technical operations software.”
Korean Air’s Existing Technology Lays Strong Foundation
Far before the new agreement was signed, Korean Air had already established a foundation in the field. For instance, the airline formed a specific predictive maintenance team in Aug 2023. Currently, the airline has developed and is using its in-house operation solution.
