In Aviation, Every Operation Demands Flawless Coordination.

Reservation, flight planning, maintenance and ERP systems each work on their own, while the processes between them may run on different automations and applications. Butterfly sits on top of these systems as an orchestration layer. By bringing robotic automations, low-code applications, AI steps and human approvals into a single flow, it makes operations traceable and manageable.

The unseen coordination of a flight happens on the ground.

In aviation, tracking a work order, a maintenance system migration or a seat agreement with an approaching release date involves different teams and systems. When these links are broken, operational risks and costs can rise. Butterfly brings workflows across systems together, making the owner, status and history of every step visible.

TodayA missed release date is a plane taking off with empty seats.
Robots and applications run separately.
Automations are brought together in a single orchestration layer.
Work orders are tracked by hand during the maintenance system migration.
Migration gaps are opened as exception records.
The block seat release date is missed.
Alerts fire as release dates approach.
You pay for unused seats.
Unnecessary costs are avoided.
With ButterflyWith Butterfly, every seat is accounted for before takeoff.

Every unsold seat is returned
before the release date passes.

Butterfly tracks block seats by departure. As the release date approaches, the sales, supplier and finance teams are alerted in the same flow.

Managing scattered automations from a single center

Reservation, flight planning, aircraft maintenance and repair, and ERP systems run separately. The processes between them run on different robotic automations and low-code applications.

The flow with Butterfly

  1. An orchestration layer is built on top of the existing systems.
  2. Robotic automations, AI steps and human approvals are combined in the same workflow; every step is tracked with a shared audit log.
  3. Scattered automations are brought under a single governance structure. Where and how processes are progressing becomes visible.

Process continuity during maintenance system migration

During the move from the old maintenance management system to the new one, data transfer between the two systems, work orders and approval processes are tracked manually.

The flow with Butterfly

  1. Work orders, approvals and data transfers during the migration period are orchestrated.
  2. Gaps between systems are opened, tracked and closed as exception records.
  3. Work during the migration is kept on record; data and process gaps are easier to spot.

Tracking charter and block seat agreements

Release deadlines for unsold block seats can be missed amid busy operations, which can mean absorbing the cost of unused seats.

With Butterfly Block seat records are kept per departure. Alerts are generated based on release dates; sales, collections and supplier payments are tracked in the same flow.

Release deadlines are tracked more effectively, helping reduce unnecessary costs from missed dates.

12 seats unsold → release recommendation awaiting approval

Block seats are tracked by departure; as the release date approaches an alert fires, and the release recommendation goes for approval. Sample data.

Auditable work management for safety-critical operations

In multi-site operations, work orders, inspections and nonconformities may be tracked in different tools. Bringing together evidence of completed work can become difficult.

The flow with Butterfly

  1. Through the task and project management product, work orders, checklists, inspections and corrective actions are managed with defined flows.
  2. The owner and activity record of every step are kept.
  3. Operational steps become traceable, and tracking the records and evidence needed for audits becomes easier.

Frequently asked

Quick answers about Aviation.

Frequently asked questions about Butterfly in aviation processes.

Is Butterfly in live use in aviation?
Not yet. We are in discovery meetings and introductory presentations with aviation organizations. Our recommendation is to pick one of the organization’s priority needs and demonstrate the process end to end with a short pilot.
Does Butterfly replace our maintenance management system?
No. Rather than replacing your existing maintenance management system, Butterfly manages the workflows, approvals and automations around it. It works alongside your existing infrastructure by connecting processes across systems.
What happens to our existing robotic automations?
You do not need to replace all of your existing automations. Suitable ones can be connected to Butterfly's orchestration layer and made part of your processes. Robots, human approvals and other applications can then be managed through a shared flow.

The same orchestration
creates value in every industry.
