Austrian Airlines to Use Boeing's Airplane Health Management

Austrian Airlines will use Boeing's Airplane Health Management (AHM) system for its fleet of four B-777-200ERs.

AHM gathers and evaluates an aircraft's condition in real-time, which helps an airline's technicians manage unscheduled maintenance events, and collect other information, including trends.

Boeing says the system has particular benefits for Austrian because it shares aggregated data from all AHM customers, thus allowing the experience of one airline to guide repair decisions, based on history and fleet experience, at another airline operating the same airplanes.  About 28 percent of the world's B-777 fleet is now being monitored by AHM.

Austrian began operating 777s in 1997.  03-29-2007.
