IRVING, Texas, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XBP Global Holdings, Inc. (“XBP Global” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: XBP), a multinational technology and services company orchestrating mission-critical systems that enable hyper-automation and digital transformation, today announced an executed contract with British Airways to commence the deployment of Plexus® AI, the company’s marquee sovereign Agentic AI solution.
By implementing Plexus® AI, British Airways will unlock significant operational efficiencies, automate document and maintenance workflows, and consolidate its software footprint by replacing legacy third-party vendors.
As the enterprise landscape transitions into the era of high-performance open-weight models, XBP leverages expedited training protocols to rapidly integrate these advanced models into its sovereign agentic infrastructure. This approach allows enterprise clients to achieve superior performance at significantly lower cost points and timelines — all while keeping data strictly within the client’s private boundaries and adhering to strict regulatory standards like the EU AI Act.
Key Capabilities and Solution Highlights:
- Automated Asset Lifecycle Vectorization: Captures, vectorizes, and stores every maintenance event across British Airways’ highly variable, highly complex fleet within a secure, private vector database.
- Controlled Access & Off-Lease Reproduction: Agentic AI manages all access in and out of the datastore, enabling accurate, instant reproduction of full servicing histories when aircraft go off lease or are sold.
- Open-Weight Enterprise Efficiency: Powered by XBP’s expedited training protocols, delivers cutting-edge AI capabilities at optimized value without external data exposure.
- Sovereign & EU AI Act Compliant: Deployed in a secure and scalable way within British Airways’ private cloud, representing XBP’s second major sovereign rollout following its deployment with CNAM.
“The era of enterprise open-weight AI models is here, and our expedited training protocols allow us to pass massive efficiency and cost advantages directly to our partners,” said Vitalie Robu, President of XBP Europe. “For British Airways, Plexus® AI solves a critical, complex operational challenge: maintaining an unalterable, searchable, and fully compliant servicing history for a massive fleet, right down to off-lease asset transitions. By combining top-tier Agentic AI with private cloud architecture, we are setting a new standard for high-value asset management that we plan to replicate across the global aviation sector.”
The core architecture of Plexus® AI represents a highly replicable value proposition — not only across global commercial airlines maintaining strict data privacy, but for any enterprise servicing high-value, complex heavy machinery. Following this deployment, XBP plans to offer this solution to other global airlines and industrial enterprises where precise, automated tracking of complex equipment service lifecycles is vital to safety, uptime, and efficiency.
