MCLEAN,
Va., June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aireon, the
world's leading provider of space-based automatic dependent
surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) services, will deliver its flight
data stream to Boeing [NYSE: BA]. Boeing will use the stream to
expand its advanced data analytics capabilities in its effort to
further strengthen commercial air travel safety.
Aireon will provide historical aircraft data and near real-time
aircraft event data via its AireonINSIGHTS product for select
Boeing airplane programs.
As part of its implementation of an enterprise Safety Management
System (SMS), Boeing will integrate the ADS-B data into its safety
analytics tools. Recognized worldwide as an industry best practice,
SMS is an integrating framework for managing safety risks. Through
the use of data science and data analytics, the information will
deliver insights to proactively identify hazards and monitor
emerging safety trends.
"We are investing in a data stream that can be transformed into
safety intelligence," said Vishwa Uddanwadiker, Boeing vice
president of Aerospace Safety Analytics. "We are adding this to our
data analytics ecosystem to help predict and prevent safety risks,
while identifying other opportunities to strengthen our Safety
Management System."
The global space-based ADS-B data from AireonINSIGHTS can help
customers gain insights to key performance indicators on flight
safety.
"The power of the Aireon data unlocks a cache of information for
Boeing regarding the operations of its aircraft in the global
airspace. With this integration, Boeing will have data to provide a
full operational view of its fleet, and we are excited to partner
with them," said Don Thoma, Aireon
CEO.
Aireon has deployed a space-based air traffic surveillance
system for ADS-B-equipped aircraft throughout the entire globe.

technologies that were formerly ground-based and, for the first
