Jet Aviation on Wednesday signed an agreement with drone and artificial intelligence specialist Donecle to use AI and advanced image analysis algorithms to enable fast and accurate aircraft inspections. By capturing detailed records of aircraft, the technology can enhance the accuracy of existing services such as pre-purchase inspections, while offering the potential for new services centered on predictive maintenance.

“Innovation is essential to continue to drive the industry forward and ensure we evolve to meet the rapidly changing expectations of our customers," said Jet Aviation senior v-p of regional operations for EMEA Jeremie Caillet. “AI is developing at an exciting pace and has the potential to play a central role in increasing efficiency and effectiveness across a wide range of MRO procedures.”
