Amadeus tells you the
flight departed.
AirNova tells you it's going to depart late in 40 minutes, shows you why, and gives you three options to fix it before it happens.
Your PSS handles transactions — bookings, tickets, check-in. AirNova sits above it as the operational intelligence and decision layer those systems were never designed to provide.
- ✗5–8 separate vendor licences for ops tools — each with its own silo
- ✗Duty managers are the integration layer — copying data between screens
- ✗IROPS recovery via phone calls, experience, and spreadsheets
- ✗FTL compliance checked retroactively — not during the decision
- ✗No independent airline view of turnaround performance
- ✓One platform — ops control, crew, turnaround, dashboards, recovery
- ✓Experienced staff move from manual coordination to strategic decisions
- ✓Disruption recovery in under 5 minutes — simulated, scored, and executed
- ✓Fatigue and FTL compliance built into every crew decision in real time
- ✓Airline-owned turnaround truth with evidence-based GHA accountability
Five capabilities.
One platform. Measurable ROI.
AirNova targets the decision layer — where fragmentation hurts most and the financial return on consolidation is highest.
IROPS Recovery in Seconds
When disruption hits, duty managers coordinate recovery across phone calls, spreadsheets, and experience. Every 15 minutes of decision time costs €8,000–€15,000 in cascade effects across a mid-size hub. Most airlines have no dedicated recovery tool — or one that recommends but cannot execute.
- Evaluates 200+ constraints simultaneously — FTL, MEL, pax connections, rebooking fairness
- Delivers ranked recovery options in under 300 milliseconds
- Live EU261 financial exposure scoring — see the cost cliff before you walk off it
- Executes approved plans: crew swaps, passenger rebookings, gate changes — in one action
Reduces average IROPS resolution from 45+ minutes to under 5. Estimated €2–5M/year in avoided delay costs and compensation payouts per hub station.
AI Crew Management with Fatigue Built In
Airlines pay separately for FRMS tools and rostering systems. Crew controllers check the roster in one tool, check fatigue compliance in another, and reconcile manually. The gap between those two systems is where safety risk lives.
- Bio-mathematical fatigue scoring (SAFTE-FAST) embedded directly in the roster workflow
- Full EASA/FAA FTL compliance: daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, yearly block hour tracking
- Reserve marketplace showing cost, time-to-report, fatigue risk, and qualifications per crew member
- AI roster recovery that respects every regulatory constraint automatically — no manual cross-check
Eliminates standalone FRMS licence (€80K–€150K/year). Cuts crew overtime costs by 12–18% through proactive reserve optimisation. Reduces fatigue-related safety event exposure.
Unified Command Centre
The ops floor has 4–6 monitors showing different data sources — OTP dashboards, crew trackers, flight displays, BI tools. None talk to each other. None drive action. Airlines spend €100K–€300K/year building custom dashboards that are always six months out of date.
- Single control surface that reshapes per role — COO, Station Manager, Crew Controller, Ramp, MRO
- Real-time EU261 financial exposure without a separate BI tool
- Operational readiness scoring at station and network level
- Active disruption playbooks with risk/cost/benefit scoring — not static reports
Consolidates 3–4 dashboard and BI tool licences. Cuts new-hire onboarding time by 40%. Every 1% OTP improvement is worth €1–3M/year for a mid-size carrier.
Turnaround Tower
Many airlines have no independent view of turnaround performance — they rely on the airport A-CDM system (if available) or the ground handler's self-reported data. Without their own source of truth, airlines cannot hold GHAs accountable to SLAs or catch bottlenecks in real time.
- Real-time milestone tracking: deboard → clean → cater → fuel → board
- Critical-path analysis identifies the bottleneck phase while there's still time to intervene
- ETD tracking with delay risk assessment and slot-loss warnings
- Evidence-based GHA SLA management — no more "he-said-she-said" disputes
Reduces average turnaround overrun by 6–8 minutes. Slot misses at congested hubs cost €3,000–€10,000 each. Redeploy 1–2 ramp coordinators from manual tracking to exception handling.
Nova Copilot — Conversational Ops Intelligence
Experienced controllers spend 30–40% of their shift on repetitive information lookups — checking crew FDP, querying flight status, pulling gate assignments. New hires take months to learn which system holds which answer. Institutional knowledge walks out the door when people retire.
- Natural language queries across all operational systems: "Which flights are at risk in the next 2 hours?"
- Invokes real tools: flight lookup, crew fatigue assessment, gate status, turnaround progress
- Voice-enabled with text-to-speech for heads-up operations
- Captures institutional knowledge — new ops staff become productive in days, not months
Every query that doesn't require a phone call or system switch saves 2–4 minutes — compounding across hundreds of decisions per day. Dramatically reduces time-to-competency for new hires.
The numbers that matter
Faster IROPS recovery + turnaround precision → fewer cascading delays, EU261 payouts, and ATFM slot penalties
FRMS, turnaround tracking, ops dashboards, disruption tools — 3–5 contracts that become redundant
4–6 experienced ops/IT staff move from manual coordination to network planning, process improvement, and strategy
Real-time turnaround tracking + faster recovery → 1–3% OTP gain. Impacts schedule reliability, codeshare attractiveness, and slot retention
Faster rebooking, proactive disruption comms, reduced queue times — passengers don't hate delays, they hate being ignored during delays
Continuous FTL/FRMS compliance vs. retrospective audits — reduces risk of findings that can ground crews or trigger regulatory action
Above the PSS. Below the decision maker.
AirNova doesn't compete with your transactional backbone. It makes your existing investment in Amadeus, Sabre, or SITA work harder.
Sees options, approves action, stays in control
Recovery engine, crew AI, turnaround tracking, copilot, role dashboards
Bookings, ticketing, DCS, check-in — untouched
ACARS, ADS-B, rostering, MRO, crew management, ground handlers
Key insight:Your PSS vendor gets paid per transaction regardless of whether the operation runs well or not. They have no incentive to build the intelligence layer. That's the gap AirNova fills.
Airlines don't need another dashboard.
They need a copilot in the ops room.
One that understands aviation, thinks in constraints, and acts in real time.
From operational awareness → to operational control.
