Aviation software development services for airlines, MRO providers and operators
You are paying licence fees for a suite that covers most of the job, and your teams cover the rest in spreadsheets. We build the custom aviation software that closes that gap, connects to the systems you keep, and leaves the code and the roadmap in your hands.
How we work on aviation projects
Legacy systems, moved in stages
Nobody switches an operations system in one weekend. We move one workflow at a time, keep the old system running until the new one has earned the traffic, and give you something usable early.
Integration first, not last
Your AODB, ERP, EFB and messaging feeds decide half the architecture. We scope those in week one, because that is where aviation projects usually stall.
We learn your procedures
Two operators with the same fleet run checks differently. We sit with your planners, engineers and duty managers before anyone writes a line of code.
Compliance built into the data model
Traceability, sign-offs and retention are cheap to design in and painful to retrofit. Your audit evidence should be a report, not an archaeology project.
AI where it pays for itself
Predictive maintenance on real sensor history, anomaly detection in safety reports, document search across manuals. We will tell you when a rules engine is the better answer.
Testing that reflects a bad day
Systems break during irregular operations, not during the demo. We test against diversions, cancellations, AOG and the odd data feed that goes quiet.
Aviation and airline software solutions we build
Grouped by the team that uses them. Most projects start with one of these and grow into two or three.
Maintenance & MRO
For engineering, planning and quality teams keeping aircraft airworthy and paperwork defensible.
Aircraft maintenance & MRO software
Work packages, task cards, hours and cycles per component, ADs and service bulletins, with an audit trail your quality team can pull in one click.
Aviation fleet management software
Utilisation, reliability and cost per tail in one place, so planning stops rebuilding the same spreadsheet every month.
Repair station & shop floor systems
Job routing, capacity, tooling, parts and certification records for a 145 organisation, including customer-facing status.
Electronic logbook & defect capture
Mobile defect reporting from the ramp that survives no signal and reconciles when the tablet comes back online.
Technical publications (ATP / S1000D)
Manual distribution, revision control and search that gets a mechanic to the right procedure instead of the right PDF.
Predictive maintenance models
Trained on your sensor and removal history, scoped to components where a false alarm is cheaper than an AOG.
Flight & airline operations
Airline software development services for the OCC, crew control, dispatch and the ground.
Flight operations software (FOS)
Dispatch and release, flight following, briefing packs, fuel and load, and manuals that stay current on the aircraft.
Airline scheduling systems
Schedule build, tail assignment and maintenance-aware planning, with recovery scenarios designed in rather than bolted on.
Crew management & rostering
Pairing, qualifications, training currency and duty-time legality under your own AOC rules, not a vendor's interpretation.
Airport operations (AOMS)
Stand and gate allocation, turnaround milestones and ground resources, wired into the AODB and messaging you already run.
Aircraft & charter management
Quoting, trip planning, owner reporting and crew logistics for business aviation and managed fleets.
Crew, ramp & engineer mobile apps
iOS and Android apps that work offline at the gate and sync the moment they find a network.
Safety & compliance
For safety, quality and compliance managers who have to prove it, not just do it.
Safety management systems (SMS)
Hazard and occurrence reporting crews will actually use, risk registers, investigations and corrective actions with owners and dates.
Audit & quality management
Internal audit programmes, findings, CAPA and evidence packs for EASA, FAA and IOSA reviews.
Training & qualification records
Currency tracking for crew and engineers, with alerts early enough to schedule the recurrent, not to cancel the flight.
Safety performance dashboards
SPIs and trend analysis pulled from flight data, reports and maintenance findings instead of three separate exports.
Business systems
The finance, procurement and reporting layer around the operation.
Aviation accounting & billing
Contract billing, flight-hour costing and owner statements that reconcile with the ops data rather than contradicting it.
ERP for aviation
Procurement, inventory and finance connected to maintenance, or a clean integration layer if you are keeping SAP or NetSuite.
Air cargo & freight systems
Bookings, capacity, ULD tracking and customs documentation, integrated with forwarders and ground handlers.
Operational reporting & BI
OTP, delay codes, utilisation and cost analytics from one warehouse, so two departments stop arguing about whose number is right.
Standards we build and document against
Certification belongs to you and your authority. Our job is to make the evidence easy to produce and hard to argue with.
How a project runs, start to handover
Discovery
Two to four weeks with your operational people. We map the workflow, the regulatory obligations and the systems that have to stay.
Architecture and scope
What gets built first, which integrations carry the risk, and a real number instead of a range with a shrug.
Build in sprints
Working software every two weeks that your team can open and argue with while changes are still cheap.
Integration and testing
Functional, load, security and compliance testing, plus the irregular-operations scenarios that break most systems.
Phased rollout
One base, one fleet or one shift at a time, with your people trained before they depend on it.
Support and evolve
The team that wrote the code keeps it running. You own the repository from the first commit.
Why operators pick us as their aviation software development company
We ask why before how
You get engineers who push back on a requirement that will cost you money in year two, not order-takers.
Updates in plain language
Weekly progress you can read without a translator, direct access to the developers, and bad news early.
Budget you can plan around
Clear scope, fixed price where the requirements allow it, and a change process that does not surprise your CFO.
Built to outlive the project
Boring, proven technology, documented handover, and no lock-in to us. Some clients have run these systems for years.
Questions we get asked
Anything not covered here, ask us directly on a call.
How much does custom aviation software development cost?+
It depends on scope and how many systems you have to integrate with. A single-workflow build, say an electronic logbook or an SMS reporting app, sits well below a full maintenance platform. We quote after discovery, when we know what your integrations actually look like.
How long before we can use something?+
A first usable release usually lands in four to six months, and you see working software every two weeks from the first sprint. Platforms with heavy AODB, ERP or EFB integration take longer, and we say so before you sign anything.
Can you integrate with our existing aviation systems?+
Yes. AMOS, TRAX and similar maintenance systems, AODB and airport messaging, ERP, EFB providers, flight data feeds and crew systems. Where there is no usable API we build an integration layer and keep it documented.
Do you handle regulatory certification?+
Certification is between you and your authority. What we do is build the system so the evidence exists: traceability, sign-offs, retention and reports mapped to what EASA, the FAA or an IOSA auditor will ask for. For airborne software under DO-178C we work alongside your DER and certification team.
Should we replace our current system or build around it?+
Usually build around it first. Most operators get more value from replacing the two or three workflows that hurt than from a full migration. If the core system is genuinely unsupportable we will say that too.
Do you build mobile apps for crew and engineers?+
Yes, in React Native or Flutter, with offline mode as a requirement rather than an afterthought. Ramp and hangar coverage is unreliable, so the app has to hold data locally and reconcile cleanly.
Who owns the code and what happens after launch?+
You own it from day one, repository and documentation included. After launch the same team stays on for support and the next phase, or hands over to your in-house team if that is the plan.
