Palantir Technologies and FTAI Aviation Ltd. have entered into a multi‑year strategic partnership that will deploy Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) across FTAI’s global aircraft‑engine maintenance network. The agreement positions Palantir’s AI‑driven analytics at the heart of FTAI’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations, covering the company’s entire fleet of CFM56 and V2500 engines.
The partnership aligns with Palantir’s recent momentum, highlighted by a 63% year‑over‑year revenue rise to $1.18 billion in Q3 2025 and an EPS of $0.21 versus analyst expectations of $0.17. The AI platform’s integration into FTAI’s workflows is expected to generate a recurring revenue stream for Palantir, complementing its existing government and commercial contracts and expanding its presence in the lucrative aerospace MRO market, which is projected to grow into the hundreds of billions of dollars as fleets age and demand for predictive maintenance rises.
FTAI Aviation, which has accelerated from net losses in 2021–22 to a 66% revenue growth over the past three years, is targeting a 25% share of the global engine aftermarket. The partnership is intended to accelerate that goal by improving maintenance scheduling, inventory optimization, and supply‑chain efficiency. While the financial terms of the deal are not disclosed, the collaboration is expected to enhance FTAI’s unit economics and support its recent record Q3 revenue, which topped analyst forecasts and contributed to a credit rating upgrade to BB+ by Fitch.
Market reaction to the announcement has been largely driven by FTAI’s strong Q3 performance and strategic initiatives. The company’s stock has gained momentum following record revenue, a raised 2026 guidance, and an increased dividend, all of which underscore investor confidence in its growth trajectory. The Palantir partnership adds a long‑term value proposition, reinforcing FTAI’s competitive positioning and providing Palantir with a high‑margin, recurring customer base in a sector that is increasingly adopting digital and AI solutions.
The partnership signals a shift in Palantir’s revenue mix toward more diversified, recurring contracts outside its traditional government focus. For FTAI, the AI integration is a key lever to achieve operational excellence and scale its market share ambitions. Together, the two companies are poised to capture a growing share of the MRO market, leveraging Palantir’s AI platform to deliver measurable efficiency gains and cost savings across FTAI’s maintenance footprint.
