Industry Solution

Decision intelligence for commercial aviation

A single delayed engine can cascade into grounded aircraft, missed flights, and compensation claims across a network with no slack to absorb it. Aera senses changes across fleet, parts, fuel, and demand; recommends actions that keep aircraft flying and passengers moving; and executes them in your systems.

Industry Challenges

Three of the top challenges in airline operations

The data already exists in your systems. The cost lands in what happens between the data and the action.

One late engine grounds a schedule

A single delayed engine or component can cascade into grounded aircraft, missed slots, rebookings, and compensation claims, each handled by a different team.

The right part is rarely in place

Spares build up across the network as a hedge against an unpredictable supply chain, yet the one critical part can still be missing at the station that needs it.

Fleet plans run on static schedules

Fuel prices and route demand move every day, while aircraft-to-route assignments stay fixed to a schedule set before either one changed.

Aera Benefits

What your teams can accomplish with decision intelligence

Aera automates the routine decisions, augments the complex ones, and executes both in real time. Airline teams see the payoff in five areas of the business.

Fewer unplanned groundings

Fix the part before it fails

Sensor telemetry is matched against fleet-wide failure patterns, with maintenance windows recommended and parts and shop slots booked before a component grounds an aircraft.

Leaner spares inventory

Stock each station for what it flies

Demand and failure rates are modeled part by part and station by station, with stocking, redistribution, and replenishment recommended to release trapped capital without putting dispatch reliability at risk.

Lower fuel costs

Fly the right aircraft on every route

Fuel prices, route demand, load factors, and fleet efficiency are weighed together, with aircraft-to-route assignments and fleet swaps recommended as conditions shift.

Smarter parts sourcing

Pick the source while the shop is open

New, aftermarket, used, and pooled parts are compared against cost, lead time, and airworthiness rules, with the order, repair routing, or pool draw triggered while shop capacity is still available.

Faster disruption response

Run one response across every team

Maintenance, network operations, revenue, and procurement act on one connected picture, so a delay is met with a single, coordinated response before it becomes a grounding, a rebooking wave, and a compensation bill.

Gartner
Analyst Recognition

A Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Decision Intelligence Platforms

Aera was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Decision Intelligence Platforms. In the companion Critical Capabilities report, Aera scored among the highest across all four use cases.

Aera Skills™

Skills built for airlines

Prepackaged decision logic your teams can run on day one, tuned to aging fleets, scarce parts, volatile fuel prices, and a network with no slack.

Airline Predictive Maintenance

Recommends the optimal maintenance window and triggers parts and slot booking ahead of an AOG event, with AOG risk scored and ranked across every tail.

Data it draws on
  • Sensor and flight telemetry
  • Component history
  • Cycle counts
  • Maintenance and AOG records
  • Parts availability
  • Shop availability

Airline Spares Inventory Optimization

Recommends optimal stocking levels by station and triggers redistribution and replenishment, balancing service level against holding cost.

Data it draws on
  • Consumption by station
  • Lead times
  • Supply variability
  • Part criticality
  • MEL status
  • Inventory and pooling positions

Airline Fuel & Fleet Assignment

Recommends aircraft-to-route assignments and triggers fleet swaps as fuel prices and demand shift, to lower cost per available seat-mile.

Data it draws on
  • Live fuel prices by region
  • Route demand
  • Load factors
  • Fleet efficiency profiles
  • Schedule
  • Aircraft availability

Airline Parts & MRO Sourcing

Recommends the optimal source and shop for each part and repair event, weighing OEM, PMA, used, and pooled options against cost, lead time, and airworthiness rules.

Data it draws on
  • OEM, PMA, and USM pricing
  • MRO shop capacity and turnaround
  • Repair rates
  • Part criticality
  • Lease return conditions
  • Repair-vs-replace history
  • Warranty terms
