Safran launches FleetLife predictive maintenance service, French bee and Air Caraibes sign up

Safran launched FleetLife, a new predictive maintenance service, on 10 November 2026 at the Predictive Aircraft Maintenance conference in Dublin, Ireland. It helps airlines plan maintenance ahead of time.

How FleetLife works

FleetLife mixes data analysis with Safran's own know-how to watch over fleets. It spots parts that need attention early. Airlines can plan service and avoid unplanned jobs.

That keeps more aircraft ready to fly. Users access it through the Safran Customer Portal.

The setup is secure and certified to ISO 27001. It protects customer data.

Two years of testing

Over the past two years Safran monitored more than 600,000 flights across ten airlines. These airlines fly Airbus A380, A350 and A320neo aircraft. Avianca and SAS helped develop and test FleetLife and shared early feedback from daily operations.

First customers

French bee and Air Caraibes are the first named customers. They share a fleet of 13 Airbus A350 aircraft. They chose FleetLife for landing systems and landing gear, with experts advising under a multi year Safran Landing Systems contract.

Darren Waite, Customer Support and Services EVP at Safran Landing Systems, said: "We know that an aircraft creates value in the air, not on the ground." Gery Mortreux, Managing Director of the Dubreuil Group's aviation division, said the airlines aim to improve maintenance to enhance safety and aircraft availability.
