Fly2Plan

Air traffic management systems, or system-of-systems, are inefficient and not scalable for the future. Flight status data is currently fragmented and siloed, distributed through fire-and-forget technologies from the telex era, error-prone and thus no authoritative shared truth exists.
Fly2Plan enables a new model of data exchange based on technologies including distributed ledgers, for use across the aviation sector (airlines, airports, ANSPs, ATM, UTM, ground handling, baggage handling, pilots, drone operators, ect.).

This solution allows data to be shared effortlessly without compromising sensitive information, and is decentralised and Byzantine fault tolerant to increase the data's robustness and trustworthiness, which is particularly important in an aviation ecosystem that includes all nation states. This will allow autonomy to be integrated into systems in the future, as systems will pull from the common data network without issues of conflicting data.

The key innovations at Fly2Plan are:
• Open source multi-stakeholder decentralised infrastructure for Byzantine fault tolerant, trusted aerospace data exchange;
• Process automation through ‘smart contracts’;
• A source of operational real-time flight data from airlines, airports, ANSPs and UAV
operators;
• No single-point of control or failure;
• A roadmap for embedding and sustaining solutions to escape heritage IT.
• Joint insurance brokerage for managing risk and achieving safety, security and cost efficiency
goal-congruence across the aviation sector.
