The Hybrid Expert forAviation Finance
Bridging the gap between 'Wall Street' rigor and 'Silicon Valley' velocity. We are the only firm that speaks the language of leasing fluently while architecting mission-critical AI systems.
Why We Built JetStar
The aviation industry faces a paradox. While passenger numbers are set to double in 20 years, the operational backend is breaking under the weight of manual data processing. Airlines, lessors, and MRO organizations are drowning in paperwork, struggling to extract insights from unstructured data, and making billion-dollar decisions based on incomplete information.
Leaders face a critical skills gap: 60% of executives cite a lack of AI skills as their top barrier, yet 78% of employees are already bringing unvetted tools to work, creating massive security risks. The industry is caught between the urgent need to modernize and the risk of adopting solutions that don't understand aviation's unique requirements.
We built JetStar to solve this by merging deep domain expertise with secure, enterprise-grade engineering. We're not just AI consultants—we're aviation finance experts who speak the language of lessors, understand the regulatory landscape, and build systems that respect the safety-critical nature of this industry.
