We are developing the digital twin of commercial aviation, empowering our clients with fully integrated 360° industry data to drive greater efficiency and sustainability.
✈ The Challenge: Aircraft and airlines generate and collect massive amounts of data, but this data is hardly aggregated and leveraged in the industry. As a result, critical decisions are often based on fragmented or misinterpreted information, leading to financial inefficiencies and avoidable CO2 emissions.
💻 Our Solution: At Skailark, we help airlines make smarter decisions — financially and environmentally. We’ve built a digital twin of the global aviation market, modeling every seat on every flight across every airline.
Trusted by airlines like American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, and Transavia and airports such as London Heathrow, Skailark is where complex data meets real impact.
