FARNBOROUGH, England, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pelico today announced a strategic project agreement with Boeing to modernize how C-17A Globemaster III heavy maintenance is planned and executed. Under the agreement, Pelico’s Manufacturing Orchestration Platform will be used as a single, AI-enabled workspace to help reduce depot cycle time, improve fleet availability and make aircraft delivery performance more predictable by connecting supply, engineering, planning and depot workflows and operations.
“Our customers rely on us to help keep their fleets flying safely, and Pelico’s platform will give us a clear, comprehensive view of potential sustainment and support challenges so that we can operate and execute more efficiently, reduce out-of-fleet cycle time, and deliver on our commitments,” said Turbo Sjogren, vice president and general manager of Government Services, Boeing Global Services.
The platform is expected to replace fragmented, spreadsheet-driven processes with a shared, real-time view of material shortages, bottlenecks and maintenance priorities. The agreement builds on an earlier deployment of Pelico’s platform in Boeing Global Services’ commercial spare parts operations that validated its ability to significantly reduce backlog and improve operational efficiency.
“Sustaining aging fleets is one of the most complex problems in aerospace, with sustainment stretching decades” said Tarik Benabdallah, CEO and co-founder of Pelico. “Pelico’s solutions will offer Boeing visibility into complex dependencies across supply, production and repair, so that teams can identify disruptions and coordinate the next action before it becomes a late delivery.”
Boeing and Pelico will use the agreement to assess how similar digital tools could support sustainment operations across additional platforms.
