7 Customer perspective • British Airways would not be able to operate the schedule it has today with the staff levels it has without ACARS.
• Benefits include: • Reduced Engine lease costs due to real-time engine health messages to owners (Rolls-Royce, GE, etc.). • Reduced maintenance costs due to aircraft defect messages. • Reduced staff costs due to replacement of manual documents with ACARS direct to crew. • Real-time aircraft condition monitoring reducing unplanned events costs due to expert analysis of data sent via ACARS. • Real-time aircraft position monitoring capabilities. • Fuel savings with automated Wind data uplinks to FMC. • Reduced fuel costs by engine trend analysis reducing need for engine runs to check engine tuning actions.
