Boeing eyes AI boost for C-17 maintenance

Boeing Global Services has initiated a collaboration with Pelico to modernize the maintenance planning and execution processes for the C-17A Globemaster III. The partnership’s primary objective is to reduce depot maintenance cycles, ultimately enhancing fleet availability across the aircraft. This initiative will focus on leveraging artificial intelligence through scheduling capabilities within the maintenance workflow. Boeing and Pelico intend to evaluate how this technology can improve predictable turnaround times for the heavy lift platform. Successfully implementing these AI solutions promises significant operational efficiencies for the C-17A program.
