ASSET WATCH

Accurately track flight and ground activity of a portfolio of aircraft

Tracking aircraft utilization and the flight and ground activity is crucial for improving operational efficiency, managing costs, ensuring safety and compliance, facilitating strategic planning, addressing environmental concerns and proactively managing maintenance.

Fast, flexible, and configurable, Cirium’s new Asset Watch tool enables aircraft lessors, banks, insurers, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and airlines to monitor and benchmark aircraft utilization, identify flight history of aircraft and access the exact location, duration and context of aircraft on the ground.

Businesses can combine Cirium’s advanced EmeraldSky CO2 emissions data with the aircraft utilization to compare the emission efficiencies of different aircraft and engine types and inform strategies to reduce the CO2 emissions of a portfolio.

Gain access to the most complete aircraft data and analytics combined with industry standard flight intelligence via a flexible and easy-to-use configurable analytics tool.

Understand where aircraft in a portfolio are flying or on ground

Gain access to Cirium’s advanced tracked utilization data and satellite-tracked flight data providing the most complete coverage of all modern aircraft globally. Since integrating satellite data from Aireon, the aircraft identification coverage has increased to 91% for scheduled flights and from 10,000-15,000 flights per day to 50,000-60,000 for unscheduled flights. Leverage industry standard ground stay information and identify any risk associated with a ground stay.

Inform decisions to mitigate any losses

Customize visualizations surfacing high-quality data with ease and speed, saving time and effort spent on analyzing aircraft movements and ground stays in a portfolio. Quicker action based on reliable data can lead to effective reporting on aircraft utilization and can enable the mitigation of any financial impact because of operations to sanctioned countries, repossessions or global macro events.

Improve market landscaping analyses

Understand which airlines operated which aircraft types to airports and identify the airlines with short ground times at specific airports. Assess and compare the aircraft utilization against other portfolios and/or competitors, using multiple filters such as by country and airport groupings, and with thresholds which can be applied to the total flights and ground stay durations.

Compare and benchmark aircraft portfolios

Search and filter by multiple attributes including individual aircraft, operator, lessor and more and compare custom portfolios. Benchmark a portfolio and their key metrics against other portfolios or global fleet averages, comparing key utilization and emissions metrics to inform ESG reporting or strategies to reduce CO2 emissions and identify low aircraft utilization.

Unrivaled tracked aircraft utilization and ground stay analysis

Lessors
Proactively monitor and mitigate regulatory risks related to current assets’ operations in sanctioned countries. Address financial risk arising from aircraft being flown when it’s not supposed to be, as well as repossession risk due to operations int conflict zones. Spot early signs of a slowdown in operations. This will help in better managing aircraft assets according to contract terms and industry standards.

Banks
Enhance aircraft portfolio monitoring to minimize financial impact and forms of non-compliance. Proactively monitor and mitigate any operational risk associated with aircraft assets, particularly with aircraft flying or spending time on the ground in sanctioned countries and conflict zones.

Insurers
Analyze the duration, location, and reason for an aircraft being grounded. Assess potential risks associated with the grounding of aircraft and determine if policy terms and limits have been breached or if sanctions have been violated.

Aftermarket Service Providers
Study ground stay patterns by airlines and aircraft types at specific airpots to identify new business opportunities while also better planning service during aircraft turnarounds.

Airlines
Optimize the use of aircraft in a portfolio and inform fleet and maintenance planning decisions by monitoring and comparing the aircraft utilization against competitors, analyzing entry-level ground time information and assessing sub/leased airline fleet to ensure compliance.

Add CO2 emission insights

With the fast, flexible and configurable Asset Watch tool, businesses can add CO2 emissions reporting, benchmarking and scenario modeling to the tool. Emissions calculations are based on the EmeraldSkyTM methodology.

Identify carbon emissions of a portfolio and quantify how next generation aircraft types or aircraft utilization are lowering or could lower carbon footprint. Compare emissions of a portfolio with competitors and industry standards.
