Case Study: Airbus accelerates A350 production and connects aviation data with Palantir Foundry

Connecting in-flight, engineering, and operations data for the aviation industry

Airbus faced a significant challenge in increasing production of its A350 aircraft without compromising quality. The data driving production, including schedules, parts deliveries, and quality issues, was siloed across hundreds of teams in numerous countries. Airbus needed a unified view of this data and turned to Palantir for a solution.

Using its Foundry platform, Palantir integrated disparate data sources to create a single interface for the A350 production team. This solution later expanded into the Skywise platform, connecting the broader aviation industry's data. The implementation allowed Airbus to accelerate A350 production by 33% and led to the creation of Skywise, which now connects over 10,500 aircraft and is used by 25,000 monthly users.
