Turkey's Freebird Airlines has selected RTX subsidiary Collins Aerospace to provide a software solution aimed at improving operations across its A320 fleet. The announcement was made at the Farnborough Airshow 2024.

Freebird Airlines will implement Ascentia, a cloud-based data management and analytics platform. This tool is expected to offer a comprehensive view of aircraft maintenance, enabling the airline to analyze maintenance data, predict and reduce aircraft-on-ground events, lower maintenance costs, and enhance passenger experience.

This agreement expands the suite of solutions currently utilized by Freebird Airlines, which includes OpsCore for aircraft flight tracking, Arinc Hermes for smart ACARS message management, and GlobalinkSM for communication services.

Founded in 2000 with registrations in Malta and Turkey, Freebird operates internationally with a fleet of 14 Airbus A320s.

"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, VP business development for Connected Aviation Solutions at Collins Aerospace.
