Etihad, Tawazun, GE partner to advance flight safety

UAE’s Etihad Airways has partnered with Tawazun Council and GE to leverage GE Aerospace software solutions to reduce carbon emissions, increase safety and enhance airspace efficiency.

Tawazun Council will play an integral role in ensuring that GE Aerospace software solutions – fuel insight, safety insight, and flightpulse – meet the UAE’s requirements.

“At Tawazun, we seek to reaffirm the UAE’s position as a leading regional hub in sustainable digital transformation. We are excited about the long-term prospects of our collaboration with GE Aerospace and Etihad Airways,” said Muammar Abdulla Abushehab, chief of the Defense and Security Industry Affairs Sector at Tawazun Council.

“We also aim to implement the Emiratisation policy in our project to drive growth, open new opportunities and achieve our national objectives. We are grateful to our country’s leadership for entrusting us with this opportunity to help in developing Emirati capabilities, skills and knowledge.”

The three software solutions are expected to enable users to address digital technology and support sustainability initiatives, especially in the aviation sector.

The project will extend GE Aerospace’s development and leadership training programmes to UAE Nationals at Etihad Airways.

Etihad leverages cutting-edge technologies

By using the three software solutions, pilots and analysts at Etihad will have access to proprietary data management and analytics technology generated by the software, providing a level of insight not previously available.

“Etihad looks forward to embarking on this exciting project with our partners at Tawazun Council and GE Aerospace to enhance the aviation ecosystem,” said Mohammad Al Bulooki, chief operating officer at Etihad Airways.

“Not only does this allow Etihad to continue to improve its fuel efficiency and performance information management programmes, but it also ensures all flight crew, including home-grown Emirati pilots, are trained on the most up-to-date flight data technology.”

The insight will enable the identification of opportunities to improve Etihad Airways’ operations and could help the airline plan more efficient and more sustainable journeys.

The project confirms the partners’ aspirations to support the Abu Dhabi Environment Vision 2030 to ensure integration between the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic and social.

It aims to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, leading to increased efficiency and safety adoption across Etihad Airways’ fleet and flight operations.
