The Skywise Partner Programme is a community of organisations certified to deliver advanced analytics solutions that address key challenges across the aviation sector. The programme which began in 2018 allows partners to leverage the Skywise platform, which is a digital platform that helps airlines optimise operations and ensure seamless data continuity across the aviation ecosystem. By combining in-flight, engineering and operational data in an analytic rich environment, Skywise provides airlines with a purpose-built data platform to address their most-pressing challenges.

TCS aims to accelerate the digital transformation of operators with powerful tools that deliver new efficiencies and help them thrive in a digitally connected aerospace landscape. Airlines leveraging Skywise with TCS’ support can use advanced predictive analytics to reduce unplanned maintenance and improve aircraft availability. TCS will also deploy its digital twin models to simulate operational scenarios and anticipate component failures. Further, optimisation algorithms, including quantum-inspired approaches, will be implemented to enhance turnaround scheduling, fleet utilisation and logistics. Newly developed AI-powered operational dashboards will support faster, data-driven decisions by Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) and flight operations teams.

Anupam Singhal, President – Manufacturing, TCS, said: “At TCS, we are redefining the future of the aerospace industry through transformative technologies like generative AI, digital twins, and quantum computing. Our expertise on the Skywise platform empowers airlines with data-driven capabilities to unlock significant levels of operational efficiency. We are building a resilient and interconnected aerospace ecosystem, paving the way for future-ready skies that are smarter.”
