Boeing has launched the Boeing Edge, a new initiative focused on the advantages that the company’s customers gain through its commercial aviation services and support.

Through these capabilities, Boeing offers customers a powerful combination of expertise, innovation and support throughout the lifecycle of their airplanes to get the maximum value out of their fleets and operations.

By combining products and services across capabilities, it delivers integrated services programmes that meet the current and future needs of customers – giving them an edge in the marketplace, the statement said.

The Boeing Edge is a service mark – an extension of the Boeing brand - designed to better position the diversity and value of the company’s commercial services and support portfolio, the largest in the industry, it said.
