Cirium Ascend Risk Analytics

Accurately monitor aircraft utilization and inform strategies to reduce CO2 emissions

Global events have increased the need for aviation financiers to accurately monitor the utilization of aircraft in an asset portfolio. NetZero 2050 targets in aviation have ramped up the need to track CO2 emissions by aircraft type and utilization.

The Cirium Ascend Risk Analytics Fleet and Emissions module enables banks, lessors, non-banking financial institutions and more to monitor and benchmark the utilization and emissions of aircraft in a custom portfolio and compare against other aircraft portfolios and the global fleet averages.
