Rolls-Royce has chosen SITA OnAir technology to collate and distribute engine health monitoring data.

The communications specialist says its AIRCOM FlightMessenger system will be used by Rolls-Royce as part of efforts "to anticipate any maintenance needs and maximise the operational life of its engines".

Data collected by Rolls-Royce powerplants during flights is transmitted to the manufacturer in order to support TotalCare aftermarket services, it says.

It adds: "Across the engine fleet this data amounts to thousands of messages per day. Rolls-Royce wanted a single system to receive and distribute these messages to its analytics and operations teams. FlightMessenger from SITA OnAir was selected to meet this demand."
