KMS Technology acquires AddeptoRead the Full Press Release

Software and AI Solutions for Aviation

Aviation generates some of the most complex operational data of any industry. All of them run in parallel, but are rarely connected. Turning that data into decisions requires the infrastructure to unify siloed sources, the domain knowledge to understand they mean in a safety-critical context, and the implementation experience to deploy reliably into regulated operational environments. That is what KMS brings to every aviation engagement.

Where Technology Makes a Difference

In aviation, technology is being absorbed into the operational core. This is what’s already happening across the industry, as measured in the numbers below

$4.10 AI-Driven Pricing Increases Margin Per Passenger

Carriers that have integrated AI across fare, availability, and ancillary revenue management are realizing approximately four dollars in incremental profit per passenger boarded. The gain reflects the cumulative effect of continuous, data-driven pricing and inventory decisions rather than periodic manual adjustments.

5–15% of Predictive Maintenance Delivers Measurable Availability Gains

Fleets operating predictive maintenance programs report availability improvements of five to fifteen percentage points, alongside a substantial reduction in unplanned aircraft groundings. For airlines, this translates into stronger on-time performance and more reliable maintenance budget forecasting.

72% of aviation companies are already adopting AI today

AI adoption in aviation is already widespread, with roughly three-quarters of airlines and aviation companies actively deploying or piloting AI initiatives across operations and commercial functions. With investment accelerating rapidly, what is a competitive advantage today is quickly becoming a baseline capability across the industry.

Why Act Now

What Happens When Aviation Data Stays Siloed

Recorder feeds, ACARS traffic, sensor streams, maintenance logs, crew platforms, and revenue systems all run in parallel with almost no shared language between them, and unlike most industries, the cost of getting it wrong here is never just financial.

UNSCHEDULED AOG EVENTS & DOWNTIME

Reactive maintenance is expensive, disruptive, and largely avoidable; when components fail without warning, the financial cascade far exceeds the cost of proactive intervention.

IRREGULAR OPERATIONS & CASCADING DELAYS

Disrupted networks compound quickly without real-time decision support across aircraft, crew, and passenger constraints.

WORKFORCE SHORTAGES & KNOWLEDGE GAPS

A structural skills shortage leaves institutional knowledge concentrated in a few experienced engineers, limiting how much complexity existing teams can absorb.

AI Pilots That Never MRO PLANNING & PARTS SUPPLY CHAIN COMPLEXITY Production

Conservative stock buffers and emergency procurement tie up capital without guaranteeing the right parts are in the right place when needed.

The Engineering Behind the Outcomes

Aircraft Health Monitoring

Operations Control Support

Flight Data & Safety Analytics

Airport Digital Twin & Ground Operations Intelligence

Passenger Experience & Knowledge Automation

MRO & Inventory Forecasting

Aircraft Health Monitoring

A live health score for every tracked component, built continuously from sensor data, flight cycles, and maintenance history, flags what needs attention, when, and why, long before it becomes a delay.

Work orders generate automatically once a threshold is crossed, and the fleet-wide picture updates in real time instead of at the next scheduled check.

Getting predictive maintenance to this level takes more than a standalone model; it takes AI-native product engineering built directly into your existing maintenance systems, not bolted on beside them.

Operations Control Support

Aircraft, crew, and passenger constraints are modeled together in real time, re-ranked continuously as the situation changes, so a controller facing a cancelled rotation sees a ranked set of recovery options instead of building one from scratch under pressure.

Recovery is measured in minutes, not the hours a manual replan usually takes.

Flight Data & Safety Analytics

Pattern detection across full-fleet flight data surfaces the quieter parameter interactions that tend to precede safety-relevant events.

Safety teams get a prioritized list of what deserves attention, not a firehose of flagged events.

Airport Digital Twin & Ground Operations Intelligence

A digital twin layer brings stand assignments, turnaround status, and baggage flow together into a single live view, so ground teams see what’s actually happening on the apron — not what the schedule says should be happening. It’s the same thinking behind our luggage tracking and digital twin work with SITA and our airport stand assignment optimization work.

Passenger Experience & Knowledge Automation

Generative AI trained on your own operational knowledge can field passenger questions directly and generate structured documentation on its own.

The same approach is behind an AI-powered passenger assistance bot built with SITA and an AWS-based document generation system built for an aviation coordination client.

MRO & Inventory Forecasting

Rolling demand forecasts, built from utilization rates, component age, removal history, and supplier reliability, turn into automated procurement triggers, so parts get ordered based on where the real risk sits across the fleet, not against a static shelf quantity nobody’s revisited in years.

What Changes Once This Is Running

Dispatch Reliability Goes Up

Catching failure risk early turns emergency maintenance into planned maintenance, protecting on-time performance and cutting the compensation and overtime costs that come with grounding an aircraft.

MRO Spend Gets More Predictable

Parts get positioned based on actual risk instead of conservative buffers, bringing total MRO cost down without leaving anyone short on inventory when it matters.

Every Engineer Performs Like Your Best One

Diagnostic time shrinks, documentation gets automated, and institutional knowledge becomes something the whole team can draw on.

Compliance Built In, Not Bolted On

Because aviation maintenance AI counts as high-risk under the EU AI Act, we build audit trails and human-oversight checkpoints into the system from the start, so it holds up under FAA and EASA scrutiny rather than failing an audit after go-live.

Where It's Already Working

These aren’t proofs of concept sitting in a lab. Each one is running in a live airport or airline environment today, built alongside teams who had to keep operating while we changed how they worked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our fleet is mixed — different aircraft types, ages, and configurations. Does that work?

In aviation, AI models need to be trained per aircraft type rather than applied uniformly across a varied fleet. KMS Technology factors fleet diversity in from the discovery stage and builds it into the model architecture from day one, since even two variants of the same aircraft type can behave quite differently in the data.

The regulatory environment is treated as a fixed constraint from the very first design decision, not something addressed after the system is already built. In practice, that means human-in-the-loop oversight, complete audit trails, and documentation built around FAA and EASA AI trustworthiness standards. AI outputs are framed as decision support — something a licensed engineer can review, sign off on, and stand behind if it’s ever audited.

Poor adoption almost always traces back to one of two causes: the tool didn’t fit how the team actually operates, or it couldn’t justify its outputs in terms engineers and controllers actually trust. Addepto brings operational teams into the requirements process before any model is built, and treats explainability as something the system must do — not as an optional reporting add-on.

Implementations tend to fail in one of two ways: the operations team doesn’t trust the tool enough to rely on it, or the solution was built outside what regulations actually allow, making it unusable in live operations. Addepto guards against both by bringing maintenance planners, safety officers, and controllers into the requirements process from the outset, and by designing to FAA and EASA trustworthiness standards throughout. Explainability isn’t optional here — the system has to show engineers not just that something is degrading, but why, giving them evidence they can act on with confidence.

Aviation AI systems are typically deployed on-premises or in an airline’s own private cloud, so raw operational data never has to leave the client’s infrastructure. When a model needs to learn across an entire fleet, federated learning lets it improve without ever centralizing the underlying sensitive data. On top of that, EU AI Act compliance requires documented data governance, traceability, and access controls for AI applications classified as high-risk.
