FPT Software and Airbus have signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) on looking into opportunities to develop aviation technology related to Airbus’s Skywise, a new aviation data platform.

According to the LoI, FPT Software will look to create a pool of up to 500 developers and train them how to utilise Skywise in developing solutions to improve the aviation industry’s efficiency.

The training courses about Skywise will then be expanded for Airbus’s customers and Skywise users.

Furthermore, FPT Software is aiming to be a strategic partner of Airbus in consulting, developing applications and acting as a technical support and help-desk division regarding services and applications related to Skywise.

The cooperation between FPT Software and Airbus will also include topics such as provision of Application Programming Interface (API) for third parties to develop applications on Skywise, the migration of applications onto Skywise and the maintenance of Skywise applications.

The two companies also agreed to investigate how FPT Software can help develop technology services and solutions for Airbus in innovative application development, predictive maintenance applications, cloud software, data analysis, micro services/API design and development from existing components.

At the signing ceremony on December 14, Truong Gia Binh, FPT’s Chairman said the cooperation agreement with Airbus on Skywise Data Platform has marked a significant milestone of FPT in the journey to become trusted partners of global leading technology corporations in developing and implementing their digital platforms.
