Kenya Airways has extended its agreement with Boeing for the Airplane Health Management (AHM) solution, which aims to improve reliability across its 787 Dreamliner fleet.
The agreement was confirmed during the 2025 Dubai Airshow, where Kenya Airways and Boeing announced the extension of the Boeing Airplane Health Management (AHM) solution, aimed at supporting the airline’s 787 Dreamliner fleet.
“At Kenya Airways safety and well-being of our guests and staff come first. The extension of this agreement is an important step in our collaboration with Boeing that ensures we continue to have the right tools and capabilities that enable us to predict any safety issues in good time, identify the root cause, and address it appropriately,” said George Kamal, Chief Operating Officer, Kenya Airways.
The agreement was aimed at ensuring that its 787 aircraft are monitored with the latest predictive maintenance technology.
Predictive Maintenance Capabilities
According to Kenya Airways, Boeing’s Airplane Health Management solution comprises a suite of analytics tools that enable predictive maintenance.
These tools provide real-time in-flight alerts across numerous systems and components, enabling the airline to anticipate potential issues before they affect operations.
Additionally, they confirmed that by receiving these alerts, Kenya Airways’ maintenance teams can quickly identify the root cause of any issues and deploy the necessary personnel, parts, and equipment to service the aircraft – often before the flight lands.
