Introducing Skymerse

Airline flight operations run across a continuous chain of decisions that begins before departure and continues until landing. Planning, dispatch, monitoring, and cockpit response are often supported by different systems, each covering one part of the operation. People are left to connect the sources, carry context between tools, and interpret what a change means for a particular flight.

Skymerse is building one AI system for that entire workflow: from planning and monitoring in the operations center to real-time support in the cockpit. At its core are specialized aeronautical models that understand the data, constraints, and procedures behind each flight.

One system for the whole flight

Most operational software is organized around a source or task: a NOTAM tool, a weather view, a chart viewer, a flight-planning system, or a library of company procedures. These tools remain necessary, but the operational picture exists across all of them.

Skymerse is organized around the flight instead. It brings AIPs, airport procedures, restrictions, NOTAMs, weather, aircraft limits, operator requirements, and company procedures into a shared operational context, then maintains that context as the flight progresses.

The same underlying system can support initial planning, dispatch, live monitoring, and in-flight decisions. Each team sees the information relevant to its role without reconstructing the operation at every handoff.

Specialized aeronautical models

General-purpose models can read or summarize a document. Flight operations require a deeper understanding of geography, validity periods, airspace, runway configurations, aircraft performance, weather, procedures, and operator-specific constraints. Those concepts also have to be evaluated together, against the route and state of an actual flight.

Skymerse is developing models specifically for that aeronautical environment. They turn source material into structured operational concepts, connect related constraints across different sources, and assess their effect on each flight. The objective is a consistent understanding of what applies, what changed, and what requires action.

This is the layer that allows Skymerse to handle the operation end to end rather than automate one isolated task.

Notamify is the first step

Notamify, our first product, applies this approach to NOTAMs. It interprets each notice, structures its meaning, and provides a foundation for assessing it in operational context. Notamify already serves airline customers and thousands of pilots and aviation professionals.

That work proved both the need and the underlying method. Aeronautical information becomes substantially more useful when software understands its meaning instead of presenting another document or feed. Skymerse is extending the same principle across the rest of the operation.

From the operations center to the cockpit

When a runway restriction changes, weather invalidates an assumption, or a procedure is updated, the effect should not have to be rediscovered separately by dispatch, operations control, and the crew. A common aeronautical model can identify the affected flights, preserve the reasoning behind the assessment, and present the result where the next decision is made.

Skymerse is building this progressively as a shared intelligence layer across existing airline systems and workflows. The goal is one operational understanding of each flight, carried from planning through monitoring and into the cockpit.

Skymerse is backed by Y Combinator. We are developing the system with airlines and operators that deal with these decisions every day. If you work in airline flight operations, we would like to hear how your team handles them today.
