The Problem

Airlines are flying blind during disruptions

When storms hit, 30+ ops controllers scramble with 20-year-old software that displays problems but doesn’t solve them.

Cascading Failures

One delayed aircraft ripples across the network. A mechanical in Atlanta creates cancellations in Dallas, Chicago, and Miami within hours.

Slow Manual Recovery

Controllers make phone calls, juggle spreadsheets, and rely on tribal knowledge. Recovery takes 3–6 hours while costs compound every minute.

📈

Impossible Combinatorics

Which 8 of 400 flights do you cancel? Which tails swap? Which crews reassign? The search space is astronomical — humans optimize locally, not globally.

💰

Regulations Tightening

DOT’s automatic cash refund rules and EU261 make poor IROPS handling dramatically more expensive. The cost of inaction is growing.

The Solution

The autopilot for your operations center

OpsClear doesn’t replace controllers. It gives them superpowers, handling the combinatorial complexity so humans focus on judgment calls.

01

Ingest

Real-time flight positions, crew duty times, aircraft locations, weather forecasts, passenger connections, and airport capacity flow into a unified state model.

02

Simulate

Our digital twin runs thousands of what-if scenarios in seconds — testing cancel/delay/swap/divert combinations against a physics-based model of your network.

03

Optimize

AI agents evaluate every option across all constraints simultaneously: rotation continuity, crew legality, passenger rebooking, gate availability, and total cost.

04

Recommend

Controllers see a ranked recovery plan with dollar impact per action. One-click approval. The system learns from every decision to get smarter over time.

Aviation Digital Twin + AI Agents

Our discrete-event simulation engine models your entire operation: every tail, every rotation, every crew pairing, every weather minute. Then AI agents explore the solution space to find optimal recovery paths humans would never consider.

  • Physics-based delay propagation across aircraft rotations
  • Weather-driven capacity modeling (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR)
  • Mixed-integer optimization for cancel/swap/delay decisions
  • Greedy + MIP two-phase solver for real-time speed
  • Cross-fleet learning — every event improves the model
  • Validated against real FAA/BTS on-time performance data
Why Now

The window is open

Four forces are converging to make this the right time to build the decision layer for airline ops.

AI/ML Has Arrived

Real-time aviation-scale constraint solving is now feasible. Combinatorial optimization + ML forecasting crossed the performance threshold in the last 2 years.

IROPS Are Getting Worse

Climate-driven severe weather is increasing. FAA controller shortages create more flow control delays. Demand is at record levels.

Regulations Tightening

DOT automatic cash refunds, EU261 expansion, and passenger rights legislation make poor IROPS handling dramatically more expensive.

Incumbents Are Stale

Jeppesen (Boeing) is distracted. Sabre AirCentre is aging. Nobody has built the AI-native optimization layer. The market is waiting.
