About

Spire's Aircraft Exposure Analytics combines global ADS-B flight tracking from ground and satellite sources with SIGMET weather alerts to measure per-aircraft exposure to turbulence, icing, thunderstorms, and volcanic ash. Airlines, lessors, and insurers use it for condition-based maintenance planning, fatigue tracking, and inspection scheduling.

Using actual flown trajectories instead of inferred routing is a genuine improvement over forecast-based risk scores. The product is new, launched mid-2025, so third-party validation of the exposure metrics is limited, and it is an enterprise analytics feed rather than a pilot-facing tool.

What it can do

  • Global ADS-B flight tracking
  • SIGMET weather-alert fusion
  • Per-aircraft exposure metrics
  • Turbulence and icing analytics

Setup

  1. Contact Spire Global for aviation data access
  2. License Aircraft Exposure Analytics for your fleet
  3. Ingest per-aircraft exposure metrics into maintenance systems
  4. Use exposure history for inspection and insurance workflows
