AERIS

Airside Explanation & Audit Engine

Transforming operational chaos into auditable truth

RegTech for Aviation Operations

The Challenge

Airports Generate Data,
Not Truth

1000+
Events per flight turnaround
5+
Systems generating conflicting data
Hours
To reconstruct single incident
Manual
Delay attribution process
📊

Scattered Data Streams

AODB, FIDS, A-CDM, AIMS - no unified operational narrative

📝

Manual Audit Burden

Staff hours reconstructing "what actually happened"

💰

Revenue Leakage

Disputed penalties, missed SLA enforcement

Compliance Risk

DGCA audits need traceable, defensible explanations

The AERIS Solution

A Simple Formula for Operational Truth

Example: Delay Attribution

Flight AI-302 departed 45 mins late. Who's accountable?

EVENT: AOBT=14:45, ATOT=15:30
RULE: Turnaround SLA = 35min
RESULT: Handler exceeded by 10min → Code 18

Example: Stand Violation

Wide-body parked at narrow stand. Flag it.

EVENT: A380 at Stand 12B
RULE: 12B max wingspan = 36m
RESULT: VIOLATION → Stand mismatch alert

Example: Curfew Breach

Late night departure - was it within limits?

EVENT: ATOT=23:45
RULE: Night curfew starts 23:30
RESULT: EXCEPTION LOGGED → Requires approval

How It Works

The AERIS Processing Pipeline

📦
Ingest
Accept raw events from AODB, FIDS, A-CDM, handlers
🔄
Normalize
Unified schema, timezone align, deduplicate
📅
Sort
Sequence events into flight timeline
📑
Reconstruct
Build operational picture per turnaround
Evaluate
Apply rule engine against timeline
📄
Emit
Generate conclusions, alerts, reports

📥 Event Types Supported

  • Milestones: AIBT, AOBT, ATOT, ALDT, EIBT, EOBT
  • Resources: Stand, Gate, Belt, Counter assignments
  • Stakeholder: Handler, Fuel, Catering, Crew timestamps
  • Alerts: Weather, ATC holds, Operational messages

📜 Rule Sources

  • ICAO: IATA delay codes, A-CDM milestones
  • EUROCONTROL: Target times, performance metrics
  • AAI / DGCA: Indian compliance requirements
  • Airport-specific: Local SLAs, operational policies

📄 Output Types

  • Delay Attribution with IATA codes
  • SLA Compliance reports per stakeholder
  • Incident explanations with audit trail
  • Real-time alerts for threshold breaches

Intelligent Design

AI-Assisted, Deterministic Core

AI OK
🤖
Input Assist
OCR, speech-to-text, NLP for unstructured data ingestion, field mapping suggestions
NO AI
Deterministic Core
Rule evaluation, timeline reconstruction, attribution logic - 100% auditable & reproducible
AI OK
💬
Output Assist
Natural language summaries, report generation, pattern explanations

🔒 Audit-Safe

Core logic never uses AI. Every conclusion traceable to exact event + rule combination. Same input always produces same output.

💡 Human-Friendly

AI assists at the edges - making data entry easier and reports more readable. But never decides attribution or compliance.

🛠 Upgradeable

AI components can be improved without touching core logic. New LLMs, better OCR - swap them without revalidation.

Capabilities

What AERIS Delivers

🕑

Delay Attribution

Automatic IATA delay code assignment based on event timelines. Know exactly who caused each minute of delay and why.

✓ Defensible penalty enforcement
📋

SLA Compliance

Real-time tracking against handler, airline, and airport SLAs. Breach alerts before they escalate.

✓ Automated compliance scoring
🔍

Incident Reconstruction

On-demand playback of any flight's operational timeline. Every event, every decision, every timestamp.

✓ DGCA audit ready
📈

Performance Analytics

Pattern detection across flights, stands, handlers. Identify systemic issues before they become problems.

✓ Data-driven improvements
💰

Revenue Protection

Accurate billing for delays, resource usage, penalties. No more disputed charges or revenue leakage.

✓ Transparent cost recovery

Exception Management

Real-time alerts for curfew breaches, stand violations, capacity overflows. Act before damage occurs.

✓ Proactive operations

For Airport Authority of India

Built for Indian Aviation

🇮🇳

DGCA Compliance Ready

Pre-configured with Indian regulatory requirements. Audit trails that satisfy inspectors.

🛠

Integrates With Existing Systems

Works alongside your AODB, FIDS, A-CDM. No rip-and-replace required.

🔒

AAI Owns The Rules

Your policies, your thresholds, your SLAs. AERIS just executes them consistently.

📈

Scale Across Network

Start with one airport. Expand to entire AAI network with consistent standards.

Rule Governance Model

AAI / DGCA defines policies
Rules encoded in AERIS
Events evaluated deterministically
Conclusions traceable to source
