Korean Air expands use of Boeing’s Airplane Health Management

Korean Air is enhancing its maintenance operations by adopting Boeing’s Airplane Health Management (AHM) system across its 777, 747-8 and 737MAX airplanes in addition to its 787 fleet.

This move will allow Korea’s flag carrier to leverage real-time data and predictive maintenance capabilities, significantly reducing unscheduled maintenance and improving aircraft availability. Boeing and Korean Air will work together to utilize in-flight data for real-time operational decisions and proactive maintenance planning.

“Korean Air is excited to enhance our operations with Boeing’s AHM system,” said Mr. Jonghoon Oh, Head of Predictive Maintenance, Korean Air. “This advanced tool will help us minimize disruptions, boost efficiency, and extend the lifespan of our fleet.”

Airplane Health Management is a real-time decision support tool that enables airlines to make more informed and faster data-driven maintenance decisions. AHM leverages Boeing’s deep engineering knowledge and in-service fleet experience to optimize maintenance operations by converting airplane data into actionable information. This proactive approach ensures that unscheduled maintenance is minimized, increasing aircraft availability, and reducing operational disruptions.

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of AHM, Boeing is introducing AHM 2.0, featuring enhanced prognostics, self-service analytics, and new alert categories. These upgrades will further support Korean Air’s commitment to operational excellence and passenger safety.

By transforming unscheduled maintenance events into planned ones, Korean Air can reduce Aircraft on Ground (AOG) incidents, improving network reliability and operational efficiency.
