Pelico Collaborates with Boeing to Enhance C-17 Globemaster III Operational Readiness

FARNBOROUGH, England - July 23, 2026 - In a significant move to bolster the operational efficiency of the C-17A Globemaster III, Pelico has announced today the signing of a strategic agreement with Boeing. This collaboration aims at modernizing the planning and execution of heavy maintenance for the aircraft, leveraging Pelico's cutting-edge production orchestration platform.

The partnership will deploy Pelico's AI-optimized workspace to streamline various operational facets, which includes maintenance scheduling, fleet availability, and more predictable aircraft delivery timelines. By interconnecting workflows and processes related to procurement, engineering, planning, and heavy maintenance, the joint effort aims to address existing challenges in fleet management.

Turbo Sjogren, Boeing's Vice President and General Manager of Government Services, emphasized the importance of this tool in enhancing service efficiency. He stated, “Our customers rely on us to ensure their fleets' safety, and Pelico’s platform will provide us with a comprehensive view of potential maintenance challenges, allowing us to operate and react more effectively while reducing aircraft downtime.”

Pelico's platform is designed to replace fragmented processes currently reliant on spreadsheets, creating a shared, real-time view of material shortages, bottlenecks, and maintenance priorities. Previously, the platform has shown its capabilities through its deployment in Boeing's commercial spare parts services, showcasing significant improvements in operational efficiency and reduced backlog.

Commenting on this development, Tarik Benabdallah, CEO and co-founder of Pelico, noted the complexity of maintaining aging fleets, a challenge the aerospace sector has to face continuously over decades. He shared, “Pelico’s solutions will enable Boeing to gain insights into the complex interdependencies of procurement, production, and repairs, helping teams identify disruptions and coordinate proactive measures before they lead to delivery delays.”

Both companies will utilize this agreement to explore how similar digital tools could enhance maintenance operations across other aerospace platforms, promising a future of integrated and efficient operational practices.
