JetBlue selects Collins Aerospace's data retrieval solution InteliSight and GlobalConnect
ANNAPOLIS, Md., - Jet Blue in Long Island City, N.Y., needed technology to capture, store, and transmit data for its commercial fleet. They found their solution from Raytheon Technologies' Collins Aerospace unit.
Jet Blue announced it had selected Collins' InteliSight aircraft interface device will be installed on more than 200 of JetBlue's Airbus A320s. The device captures, records, stores, encrypts, and securely transmits aircraft data to Collins' and secure cloud platform, GlobalConnect.
Providing an offload of the data after each flight ensures the data is available for analysis, operational insights, and improvements. Collins Aerospace's InteliSight solution helps flight crews, ground crews and airline operations teams optimize cost and improve customer service.
Raytheon Technologies, based in Arlington County, Va., says that InteliSight solutions can be customized based on their unique, modular structure to address customers' different needs and are supported by a worldwide network. They say that least one carrier has reported a substantial increase in their data capture rates, up to more than 99%, after equipping its aircraft with InteliSight solutions.
"After an extensive review process, we chose the Collins Aerospace solution," said JetBlue's Captain Chuck Cook, director communications, navigation, surveillance, and technical programs. "Real-time access to data will allow JetBlue to adjust service schedules and increase the sustainability of these select aircraft."
"JetBlue will see immediate and quantifiable benefits from the digital transformation of these aircraft," said Jennifer Schopfer, president of Connected Aviation Solutions at Collins Aerospace. "The InteliSight data, passed via GlobalConnect, will give JetBlue's flight operations, engineers, and maintenance teams the information they need to ensure an even more efficient travel experience for their passengers."
