Boeing adds Air Cruisers, Honeywell and Thales to 787 GoldCare Team

Boeing has named Air Cruisers, Honeywell and Thales as partners for GoldCare, the lifecycle support solution for the 787 Dreamliner.

“These three aviation industry leaders play an important role in helping provide the innovation that will make the 787 such a great performer,” said Bob Avery, Boeing's vice president of 787 Services & Support. “By joining GoldCare, they have committed to an innovative new business strategy that will help customers reduce cost and enhance predictability as they acquire and operate their Dreamliner fleet.”

GoldCare helps any airline become a lower-cost carrier. Under GoldCare, Boeing leads and integrates a global team to deliver maintenance, engineering and materials management tasks within a predictable per-flight-hour cost. With maintenance operations and logistics simplified, GoldCare customers can focus on their passengers - all the while knowing that their airplane assets achieve maximum utilization and are maintained to the highest standards by Boeing through GoldCare partners.

Each of the new GoldCare partners will be responsible for ensuring the spare parts they provide for 787 GoldCare customers are available at guaranteed levels of availability, managing the maintenance of parts removed from aircraft and ensuring that equipment reliability is optimized.

“By participating in GoldCare, the customer can quickly and efficiently establish its maintenance and spares support structure at an identified cost and does not have to worry about budget variances and cost overruns in establishing and maintaining that support structure,” said Lou Perdoni, vice president, Sales & Service, Air Cruisers Co. Air Cruisers, headquartered in Wall, New Jersey, is a member of the Zodiac Group and will provide evacuation systems for the 787.
