Collins Aerospace has announced that Republic Airways is the first airline to implement Ascentia Repeaters, the latest application as part of the Ascentia predictive health maintenance (PHM) platform.

The five-year agreement deploys the Repeaters application across Republic Airways’ fleet of more than 200 Embraer E-Jet 170 and 175 aircraft.

The latest upgrade to the Ascentia aircraft management software platform, Repeaters utilises natural language processing to automatically resolve coding and freehand text errors in aircraft maintenance logs.

Repeaters is easy to deploy and drives maintenance efficiency by transforming unstructured data into an organised, visible format for the airline.

Common chronic issues are automatically identified, classified and clustered together to show clear areas of correlation and recommended remediation.

Airlines are then able to quickly pinpoint maintenance priorities based on information specific to their fleets, operations and historical data – improving final fix effectiveness, reducing aircraft downtime and proactively preventing recurring issues.

Nicole White, vice president and general manager of connected aviation at Collins Aerospace, said: “Ascentia Repeaters transforms the often-disparate aircraft data into clearly understood, actionable intelligence, empowering Republic Airways with timely information to make data-driven decisions that directly impact the health, operability and functionality of their fleets.

“With nearly 30% of all unscheduled airline events preceded by multiple maintenance reports, Ascentia Repeaters identifies the often time hidden patterns from these write-ups, highlighting common events and allowing airlines to take proactive maintenance actions to prevent future disruptions, improve repair effectiveness and enhance operational reliability.”

The agreement also includes opportunities for capability expansion throughout the lifetime of the contract, giving Republic Airways the option to sign up for additional services, including Ascentia predictive analytics.

The news was announced at the MRO Americas 2025 event in Atlanta.
