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.

This approach reduces the risk of operational delays and improves overall fleet performance.

“The predictive maintenance capabilities of Boeing’s AHM solution provide tangible value, allowing Kenya Airways to address potential issues efficiently and proactively,” said Crystal Remfert, Senior Director, Boeing Digital Services.

Further, the integration of these tools will allow the airline to maintain its aircraft at optimal performance levels, ensuring safety and operational efficiency for every flight.

Enhancing Fleet Reliability

According to the KQ statement, the extended agreement focuses on minimising unscheduled maintenance and ensuring on-time flights for its passengers.

By leveraging Boeing’s predictive maintenance technology, the airline can maintain higher reliability across its 787 Dreamliner fleet.

“Our ongoing collaboration to leverage its predictive maintenance capabilities will remain keenly focused on increasing fleet reliability, reducing unscheduled maintenance delays, and supporting on-time flights for Kenya Airways passengers,” said Remfert.

Kamal added that the extension of the agreement is crucial in providing the airline with the necessary tools to predict safety issues in advance and address them appropriately, further strengthening the airline’s operational resilience
