Jeppesen foreflight: 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.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Jeppesen ForeFlight Airflow has been developed over several years and 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. The AI engine is designed to help the industry transition from paper to digital to mobile, enabling customers to deploy it on their own terms and timelines at significantly lower IT costs than previous industry transitions.
Brad Surak, Jeppesen ForeFlight Chief Executive Officer, stated that the company's offering is highly differentiated and allows customers to benefit from the latest advancements in AI technology. 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.
The AI engine is built on an open architecture and is model agnostic, providing customers with the flexibility to adopt AI by integrating their own agents, leveraging third-party solutions, or deploying Jeppesen ForeFlight's native agents. In addition, the company is 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 refueling options or build AI-connected tools and workflows using data in ForeFlight Mobile. Jeppesen ForeFlight 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.
