Collins Aerospace announced that Qatar Airways has selected its Ascentia analytics solution to support the maintenance and performance management of the airline’s 52 Boeing 787 aircraft. The deal was unveiled at the Dubai Air Show on November 17, 2025, underscoring the growing demand for data‑driven maintenance solutions in the commercial aviation sector.
The Ascentia platform aggregates real‑time sensor data from aircraft systems, applies advanced analytics, and delivers predictive insights that help airlines reduce unscheduled maintenance, lower downtime, and improve on‑time performance. By integrating the solution across its 787 fleet, Qatar Airways aims to enhance reliability and operational efficiency, while Collins Aerospace gains a high‑profile, multi‑aircraft contract that expands its aftermarket services portfolio.
This win is a strategic boost for RTX’s Collins Aerospace segment, reinforcing its leadership in connected aviation services. As the original equipment manufacturer for many of the systems on the Boeing 787, Collins Aerospace can leverage its OEM status to provide precise, real‑time recommendations that minimize flight disruptions. The contract also signals continued confidence from major airlines in RTX’s analytics capabilities and positions the company to capture additional revenue from the expanding global fleet of 787 aircraft.
Nicole White, vice president and general manager of Connected Aviation at Collins Aerospace, said the partnership “demonstrates how our deep integration with the aircraft’s systems gives us a unique advantage in delivering actionable insights that improve reliability and reduce maintenance costs.” She added that the deal will help Qatar Airways achieve higher on‑time performance and lower operating expenses, while providing Collins Aerospace with a valuable reference for future sales to other 787 operators.
The Dubai Air Show is a key venue for major announcements in the aerospace industry, and the fact that Ascentia analytics already supports nearly 40 % of the Boeing 787s in operation highlights the platform’s market penetration. The contract with Qatar Airways further solidifies Collins Aerospace’s position as a leading provider of connected aviation solutions in a market that is increasingly focused on data‑driven maintenance and operational efficiency.
