FPT on Wednesday signed an agreement with Airbus to become one of its first Skywise certified partners who will drive digital collaboration across the global aviation industry.

The four others chosen by the European aircraft manufacturer to get the programme under way are IBM, Accenture, Capgemini, and Sopra Steria.

Airbus’s selection criteria included companies with a global presence, familiarity with Skywise technology, high-quality human resources, existing business with airlines, and existing business relationships with it.

The Skywise certified partners will benefit from dedicated training and certification to help aviation players develop more robust, richer applications within the open data platform. They will have access to its own working space on Skywise and to additional platform features. — VNS
