During early 2015, our development team created a new database, titled ‘Flightpath’, this single database replaced the multiple databases that had previously powered both ACAS and Ascend Fleets. In order to present this single database to users, we decided to build a single web-based front end that was as powerful as ACAS, yet as easy to use as Ascend Fleets. During July 2015 we released the first version of this new tool, Flight Fleets Analyzer.

More data fields, and a new feature

During March 2016 we added a couple of new fields: Operator Delivery Date, and IATA/ICAO codes. We also updated the Trend/Projection tabs to allow users to group by serial number: ie, grouping by one. This feature is useful when looking at the monthly hours and cycles for single aircraft.

The Projection module, and a whole new section

In early 2016 we brought back the Projection module, which was previously available in ACAS 2.5. We also added a new section, Maintenance, and a new optional dataset, Aircraft Availability.

200 more columns!

During December 2015 we added a further 200 columns of data to the Aircraft section, all related to the internal fit of the aircraft (seats, IFE, etc). As well as this internal dataset, we also added Aircraft Values, Print Profiles, Company Category and Status, and improved the formatting of exports.

Launch of Version 1

The first version of Flight Fleets Analyzer was launched in July 2015. Version 1 contained just three search sections: Aircraft, Aircraft Events, and Companies. With the launch of Version 1, users of ACAS started to migrate over to Flight Fleets Analyzer.
