Boeing signs on for Aireon space-based ADS-B data services

Aireon, which provides space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) services, will deliver its flight data stream to Boeing. Boeing will use the stream to expand its advanced data analytics capabilities in its effort to further strengthen commercial air travel safety. Aireon will provide historical aircraft data and near real-time aircraft event data via its AireonINSIGHTS product for select Boeing airplane programs. As part of its implementation of an enterprise Safety Management System (SMS), Boeing will integrate the ADS-B data into its safety analytics tools. Recognized worldwide as an industry best practice, SMS is an integrating framework for managing safety risks. Through
