"As our customer base continues to multiply, accelerating the integration of advanced technology into our operations is essential. We are excited to partner with Palantir to harness AI and transform engine maintenance for the world's most widely used commercial aircraft. The initial results in our facilities have been impressive and AIP will play a critical role in achieving our long-term goal of 25% industry market share and enhanced value for our shareholders."
"We are excited to partner with FTAI and showcase how our AI platform drives faster decisions, enhanced productivity and optimized performance," said Ted Mabrey, Global Head of Commercial at Palantir Technologies. "FTAI is at the cutting edge of process and operational efficiency, making them an ideal partner to take to the next level with our AI solutions. By integrating Palantir's advanced AI capabilities with FTAI's innovative approach to maintenance, repair and exchange, we will help FTAI further transform how it serves the global engine aftermarket."
