Jeppesen ForeFlight Unveils AI Engine For Aviation Operations

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Jeppesen ForeFlight, a provider of aviation data, software and insights, has unveiled Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow, an aviation-centric artificial intelligence (AI) engine that forms the foundation of its strategy to bring responsible AI to all sectors of aviation.

Developed over several years, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow is backed by decades of domain expertise, industry-leading data, and capabilities spanning crew and fleet planning, day-of-flight operations and flight deck solutions.

“We have helped the industry evolve from paper to digital to mobile, and we are bringing to market a highly differentiated AI offering in Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow that customers can deploy on their own terms and timelines, at significantly lower IT costs than previous industry transitions,” said Jeppesen ForeFlight Chief Executive Officer, Brad Surak in a statement.

Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow combines commercially available data, segregated proprietary customer data and extensive domain knowledge, including safety, certification expertise and contextual reasoning across the aviation industry.

Built on an open architecture and designed to be model agnostic, the AI engine gives customers the flexibility to adopt AI by integrating their own agents, leveraging third-party solutions or deploying Jeppesen ForeFlight's native agents.

The company is also previewing its first product for the general aviation market, the ForeFlight AI Connector, an MCP server that connects ForeFlight Mobile to a customer's existing OpenAI ChatGPT environment.

Users can query their personal AI for flight plans and refuelling options or build AI-connected tools and workflows using data in ForeFlight Mobile. The company also plans to expand the feature to other AI applications, including Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude.

Later this year, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow will debut its first offerings to the commercial and business aviation segments, followed by military-focused capabilities.
