Against the backdrop of Dubai Airshow 2025, Qatar Airways has signed an agreement with Collins Aerospace to help optimize the efficiency of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet.
On November 17, 2025, Collins, an RTX company, confirmed Qatar Airways would adopt its Ascentia analytics solution to “manage fleet maintenance by improving reliability, reducing costs and providing smoother travel experiences for passengers”.
Ascentia uses aircraft sensor data to analyze real-time information against historic fleet records to generate predictive insights into component health and performance.
“Airlines can utilize these data elements to help reduce unscheduled maintenance events, limit aircraft downtime and improve on-time performance,” explained a spokesperson for Collins Aerospace.
