One trusted record for your airport

The data logistics layer for aviation.

Most airports still capture movement data late, often on paper, then re-key it from the tower to billing to the monthly report. Aircraft go unidentified, revenue leaks, and no one holds a single trusted view. Ironwood Aero fixes that at the root. It captures each movement once, at source, and serves everyone who depends on it: the apron crew, the finance office, the executive, the authority, and the customer.

The Ironwood Aero platform: capture feeds converge into the IWA_HUB data spine, which carries the aircraft registry, operations, billing engine and data warehouse, then serves teams, customers and regulators.

One hub. Capture once at source, held in-country, served in near real time. Feeds converge into the IWA_HUB data spine, then fan out to the people and systems that depend on them.

Live today: the customer portal

A self-service front door for every operator, flight school, charter and aircraft owner. Register once, get an instant landing-fee quote, declare intent to fly, request permits approved straight to a QR badge, and arrive with a QR pass that recalls the whole visit at the gate. The portal is built to connect to your airport's preferred mobile payment platform, on the rails your market already trusts. We deliver that payment integration as part of your proof of value.

Apron intelligence: Vision AI and geo-fenced zones

Computer-vision AI runs at the edge and inside the mobile app. It identifies aircraft by registration, logs every sighting, and feeds air-traffic and parking billing, proven end to end on real hardware over a live LTE link. Nothing bills on an unverified read: every capture lands in a review queue for a person to approve. Parking areas are drawn as polygons on the map, each with a precise centroid, so the camera sees the aircraft and the zone knows the bay.

One configurable rules engine

The same engine runs three jobs, all set up as data by your own administrators: billing rules, data enrichment, and data cleaning. Change a rule, not the software. That is how one platform serves a towerless airfield and a national authority without a single fork.

One codebase, many archetypes

The same code presents as whatever you are: an operating Airport, a Group of airports, an air-navigation service provider, or a civil aviation authority. From a tablet to a national group, on one foundation, with data held in-country.

Speaks your language

Set the airport's default language once. Every user can switch to their own. New languages are seeded by machine translation and refined with native review, so a language arrives in days, not releases.
