TOKYO—Japan Airlines (JAL) and Bridgestone Corp. have started a data-based partnership to improve aircraft tire management and maintenance.
The collaboration, which also involves local operator J-AIR, will use tire wear prediction technologies to accurately assess the rate of tire wear in aircraft.
Launched in May, the project will combine aircraft and flight data from JAL and J-AIR with tire insights and digital tire wear prediction technologies from Bridgestone to determine the optimal time to replace tires.
