What GE Digital does

GE Digital is the industrial software division of General Electric, providing digital solutions across aviation and energy verticals. Its aviation product portfolio includes Fuel Insight and FlightPulse (fuel analytics merging flight data with operational plans), Asset Records (lifecycle records for aircraft, engines, and components), and the Asset Transfer System (fleet management for lessors managing thousands of aircraft). Customers include AerCap (the world's largest aircraft lessor with 1,740 aircraft), Bamboo Airways, Austrian Airlines, and FlightSafety International. The energy portfolio centers on GridOS, a software platform launched in 2023 that helps electric utilities orchestrate complex grid operations spanning renewables, microgrids, distributed energy resources, and bidirectional power flows. Following the 2023 spin-off of GE HealthCare and the April 2024 spin-off of GE Vernova, GE Digital's grid software operations now sit within GE Vernova while its aviation software operations reside within GE Aerospace. The business operates an enterprise direct-sales model with quote-based pricing, multi-year TrueChoice service agreements in aviation, and strategic channel partnerships including the CFM International joint venture with Safran Aircraft Engines.
