Using real-time aviation data and ADS-B networks helps aircraft lessors track fleet activity. This reduces credit risk and increases asset value throughout the aircraft's lifecycle.<h2>What is aircraft asset monitoring?</h2>Aircraft asset monitoring is the process of collecting and tracking data about aircraft operations in real time. This helps aircraft owners and lessors see how others use their assets.<figure id="figure-enrvi1ztvsmd5ne4ar"><img id="enrvi1ztvsmd5ne4ar" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1054855634/photo/row-of-plane-fuselage-tails-on-tarmac-at-airport.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=KGGLasM4UBKhJFZXFzNx_DpI7eS4RV927wxyqPJhzhk=" alt="Aircraft Asset Management" title="Aircraft Asset Management" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1054855634/photo/row-of-plane-fuselage-tails-on-tarmac-at-airport.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=KGGLasM4UBKhJFZXFzNx_DpI7eS4RV927wxyqPJhzhk=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>This practice is crucial in today’s aviation world. Especially true for aircraft leasing companies. These companies manage fleets for many lessees, in different places, and under various rules.With the growing complexity of global operations, lessors need to monitor more than just the location of an aircraft. They need to know if it is flying on time, parked for a long time, entering risky areas, or acting strangely. These insights are crucial for making informed decisions about leasing contracts, asset value, maintenance planning, and risk exposure.<figure id="figure-jwn4xjs5mfmd5mx1mc"><img id="jwn4xjs5mfmd5mx1mc" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/17LSaOIrvdWMzZRRxdtYyxfBviN4zaEHje7Qku9NHVdItItOAsU87A9yPbpftCck.jpg" alt="VariFlight, Aircraft Fleet assets trackin" title="VariFlight, Aircraft Fleet assets trackin" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/17LSaOIrvdWMzZRRxdtYyxfBviN4zaEHje7Qku9NHVdItItOAsU87A9yPbpftCck.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>VariFlight’s integrated asset monitoring platform offers comprehensive, real-time insight into aircraft location, working &nbsp;status, flight behavior, and lessee activity. Lessors can track important details of their assets. They use data from ADS-B receivers, flight records, and system alerts. You can do this from anywhere in the world.<h2>Why do lessors need a real-time monitoring solution?</h2>Traditional aircraft leasing models often depend on reports from lessees. These reports may experience delays, have poor formatting, and lack making things the same. This results in several key problems:Delayed identification of irregular operations Inconsistent data reporting Limited visibility during lease periods Increased risk in asset valuation and credit exposureA robust aircraft monitoring solution bridges this gap by providing:* Immediate awareness of flight events and status * Structured data for accurate technical and financial assessments * Centralized control over distributed fleets * Early warnings for working &nbsp;or about world politics riskAccording to [<a data-mce-href="https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/facts_figures/fact_sheets/aircraft-leasing/" href="https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/facts_figures/fact_sheets/aircraft-leasing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IATA</a>], Leasing companies hold over 50% of the global commercial fleet, highlighting the scale of the challenge.<h2>How does dynamic monitoring compare to static asset management?</h2>Traditional asset oversight models rely heavily on **static monitoring** — quarterly reports, manual audits, and fragmented spreadsheets. This method may work for low-risk assets or old systems. However, it does not meet the needs of a rapidly changing aviation environment.Static Monitoring Limitations:* Data is outdated by the time it's reviewed * No live alerting for unusual behaviors * Inflexible formats reduce ability to compare * High dependency on lessee cooperationDynamic Monitoring Advantages:Real-time flight and status tracking Automated alerts for high-risk activity Centralized dashboards for large fleets Reliable basis for credit assessment and asset valuation<figure id="figure-qv7f6bw3yhmd5n4ch0"><img id="qv7f6bw3yhmd5n4ch0" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/eeuydD7qqAU413xI9DWXxXEixhjQVJ3ceEvJs02KShcbK0nX63s6MtnhY1wFe3Qf.jpg" alt="Dynamic Aircraft Fleet assets tracking" title="Dynamic Aircraft Fleet assets tracking" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-lg md:rounded-xl lg:rounded-2xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/eeuydD7qqAU413xI9DWXxXEixhjQVJ3ceEvJs02KShcbK0nX63s6MtnhY1wFe3Qf.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure>Dynamic monitoring helps lessors.
