The initial phase of the rollout will cover up to 30 gates across multiple Breeze Airways locations, with plans to scale the technology across the carrier's full network of more than 85 airports.
Assaia's platform is already operating at airports worldwide, where it is used by airlines and airport operators to analyse thousands of aircraft turnarounds daily. The system tracks the numerous ground activities that take place around an aircraft during turnaround, with the stated aim of helping operational teams identify issues before they cause knock-on delays.
For Breeze Airways, the deployment is tied directly to network growth. The carrier said maintaining operational consistency becomes more complex with each new station added to its route map, and that improved visibility into gate activity would support more informed operational decision-making across the network.
The companies also pointed to a fuel efficiency angle. Breeze Airways said the additional data would help identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption linked to operational delays and aircraft waiting times, a factor it described as significant amid current cost pressures facing operators.
Christiaan Hen, chief executive of Assaia, said: "Airline operations at the gate depend on hundreds of activities taking place around an aircraft in a short period of time. Having real-time visibility into activities helps operational teams identify issues before they impact other areas, improves coordination among stakeholders, and keeps flights moving more efficiently."
Hen added: "Breeze has ambitious growth plans, and maintaining operational consistency across an expanding network becomes more complex with every new station added. We're pleased to be working alongside such a forward-thinking airline and to be supporting its day-to-day performance."
David Neeleman, founder and chief executive of Breeze Airways, said: "At Breeze, we are committed to using technology to improve operational performance and deliver a better experience for our passengers."
Neeleman added: "By gaining deeper insight into everything that happens on the ground, we can make more informed decisions across all our operations. The additional visibility and knowledge will also help us identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption associated with operational delays and aircraft waiting times, vital in the current challenging climate."
Neither company disclosed the financial terms of the agreement or a target completion date for the network-wide rollout.
