Freebird Airlines gains a connected ecosystem through
real-time data insights
LONDON, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Farnborough Air Show – Freebird
Airlines has selected Collins Aerospace, an RTX business (NYSE:
RTX) 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.
