Airbus has launched a new wholly owned subsidiary, Skywise, combining its Skywise digital platform with Navblue solutions to strengthen its digital services offering.

The new entity will integrate flight, technical, and ground operations tools into a unified platform, serving both Airbus and non-Airbus fleets. With around 750 employees across multiple global locations, Skywise aims to deliver end-to-end, interoperable digital solutions for airline operations.

Airbus stated that the move reflects the rapid growth of digital services in aviation, with the Skywise platform already connecting over 12,000 aircraft worldwide.

The initiative is part of Airbus’ broader strategy to expand services revenue and enhance lifecycle management through data-driven optimization, improving efficiency, performance, and operational resilience for airline customers.
