Boeing Expands Service Engagement in Latin America

Boeing announced that it is expanding its commercial service capabilities in Latin America with Brazil"™s GOL Linhas Aereas S.A. and Mexico"™s Aeromexico as of April 4. Both airlines utilize extensive Boeing fleets, complete with some of the smallest and largest Boeing aircraft ranging from Boeing 737s to Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

GOL Linhas Aereas S.A., Brazil"™s largest domestic carrier, has decided to use Airplane Health Management, or AHM, to service its 737 MAX fleet. AHM is a Boeing AnaltyX solution that allows predictive maintenance with the aim to decrease costs and increase efficiency. With AHM, GOL will be able to access a greater understanding of systems, designs and fleet-wide operational maintenance. The carrier takes delivery of its first new 737 MAX 8, Boeing"™s newest single-aisle offering, this year.

Aeromexico has decided to partake in Boeing"™s Landing Gear Exchange and Overhaul Program, which enables operators to obtain an overhauled and recertified landing gear from Boeing"™s exchange pool. 17 of the airline"™s aircraft from its 787 fleet will be included in the program. The airplanes will also have access to AOG, or aircraft-on-ground, which provides on-site support from Boeing to assist in recovering a grounded aircraft.
