Freebird Airlines has selected Collins Aerospace, an RTX business to add a comprehensive suite of digital solutions enabling the airline to make proactive decisions to improve operations across its A320 fleet of aircraft.
Freebird Airlines will implement Ascentia, a cloud-based data management and analytics platform designed to provide a holistic view of aircraft maintenance. Freebird Airlines will use the solution to analyze maintenance data that will enable the air service to predict and reduce aircraft on the ground events, lowering maintenance costs and improving the passenger experience.
This new agreement adds to a suite of solutions currently used by Freebird Airlines, including OpsCore™ for aircraft flight tracking, ARINC Hermes for smart ACARS message management, and GLOBALinkSM for communication services.
“This collaboration with Collins Aerospace marks a significant step forward in our maintenance operations,” said Kerem Güngörmez, maintenance manager at Freebird Airlines. “By leveraging the advanced capabilities of Ascentia and Collins’ integrated software solutions, we can enhance our maintenance, repair, and overhaul efficiency, reduce engineering costs, and improve our ability to predict and prevent on-the-ground events. This will ultimately result in a more reliable and cost-effective service for our passengers.”
“Our software solutions allow Freebird to digitally transform their operations, using data-driven insights to inform proactive maintenance decisions that provide a high level of operational availability of their fleet,” said Nicole White, vice president of business development for connected aviation solutions at Collins Aerospace.
