Company mission
Beacon AI is building the future of flight safety for commercial and private fleets.
Our take
Flight safety is higher than it ever has been, but there is still room for improvement. Beacon AI develops technology that improves flight safety and efficiency.
Beacon AI is made up of a team of software engineers, experienced pilots and former fighter pilots. This varied, in-depth combined expertise has given the company a competitive advantage within the aviation AI market. Beacon offers a range of tools, including route optimization and live flight support. The company is backed by advisors from numerous agencies and former executives from companies such as Uber Elevate. This is testament to the quality and potential of Beacon's tech.
Beacon AI is currently targeting a wide array of sectors, from government aviation fleets to private charter operators. The diversity of Beacon's tools and their applications will be vital to its continued success, as it looks to capitalise on its 2024 funding rounds.
