Liebherr-Aerospace strengthens Digital Alliance

Digital Alliance is a collaboration between Airbus, Delta TechOps and GE Aerospace that aims to improve the accuracy of predictive maintenance recommendations, to reduce operational interruptions and costly “no fault found” scenarios. Liebherr-Aerospace has now joined this alliance integrating the Liebherr set of predictive maintenance algorithms and other trend monitoring applications.

Liebherr’s data will thus be made available for airlines using Skywise, the platform operated by Airbus, to which around 11,700 aircraft were connected in late 2024.

With Liebherr-Aerospace’s predictive maintenance solutions covering a wide range of Airbus aircraft, airlines benefit from health management. Planned or unexpected maintenance activities will be optimized and aircraft availability will increase. Liebherr’s in-depth knowledge ranging from environmental control and thermal management systems to flight controls and landing gears will naturally complement and strengthen the alliance's existing capabilities.

“We are looking forward to bringing our analytics capabilities and our vast OEM and customer service experience to Digital Alliance. We combine our complementary strengths on the Skywise platform to meet the evolving needs of the aerospace industry together with Airbus, Delta TechOps and GE,” said Joël Cadaux, Director Business & Services – Customer Services at Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS.

Digital Alliance intends to accelerate and expand the predictive maintenance offering for the Airbus A220 and A350 aircraft platforms in 2025.
