Company's 747 Freighter Fleet Already Utilizes The Service
UPS will expand its Boeing's Airplane Health Management (AHM)
coverage to include its MD-11 Freighter fleet in addition to the
747-400 Freighter fleet. AHM is an information-driven system that
helps airlines better prepare and manage unscheduled maintenance
events. The expanded agreement covers 38 MD-11 Freighters and 13
747-400 Freighter and Boeing Converted Freighter airplanes.

"AHM allows aircraft maintenance personnel to be prepared to
work unexpected aircraft exceptions when the aircraft arrives and
will greatly streamline our operation," said Warren Johnson, vice
president, Maintenance and Engineering, UPS Airlines, in a news
release Tuesday. "This will help increase the fleet's on-time
performance which is a great benefit to our customers," said Mitch
Nichols, UPS Airlines president.
The large UPS freighters will feature the AHM Real Time Fault
Management Module, which communicates in-flight information to
ground stations for diagnosis and real-time operational decisions,
using troubleshooting and historical fix success data. The airline
uses this information to organize any needed maintenance operations
and position the necessary people, parts and equipment.
"Airlines need to have their aircraft generating revenue, so
maintenance efficiency is an important initiative," said Dennis
Floyd, vice president of Fleet Services for Commercial Aviation
Services, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "AHM delivers relevant
information whenever and wherever it is needed while the airplane
is still en route."
Airplane Health Management works through the MyBoeingFleet.com
portal. Alerts and notifications are delivered to airline personnel
through the Internet, fax, personal digital assistants, e-mail and
pager services.
