For Airport Operators
From flight movements to invoicing, from drone authorisations to border control reporting — Dataero brings every operational function into one secure cloud platform, designed for airports of every size.
The reality today
Running an airport — even a small regional one — means juggling a remarkable number of moving parts simultaneously. Flight movements need logging. Invoices need generating. Regulatory reports need filing. Drone operators need authorising. Crew members need briefing. Passenger screens need updating. Border authorities need manifests.
For most airports, each of these tasks lives in a separate system, a separate inbox, or a separate spreadsheet. Data gets re-entered manually between tools. Errors accumulate. Revenue slips through the gaps. And the airport director spends more time reconciling information than actually running the operation.
By the time we have compiled the weekly report, the week is already over.
This is the operational reality for the majority of European airports — particularly the regional and general aviation aerodromes that keep local economies connected but have never had access to the kind of integrated software that major hubs take for granted. Dataero was built specifically to change that.
The Dataero platform
Dataero is a cloud-native airport management platform that replaces the patchwork of tools and spreadsheets with a single, unified environment. Every function — from real-time operations monitoring to automated billing to regulatory submissions — runs in the same system, sharing the same data, with no manual re-entry required.
The platform is designed for the regional and general aviation market specifically. It is not a scaled-down version of enterprise software built for Heathrow — it is built from the ground up for the operational rhythms of smaller airports, with pricing and onboarding to match. An airport with three staff members and fifty movements a day gets the same quality of tooling as one with fifty staff and five hundred.
And because everything shares a single data layer, the efficiency gains compound. A flight movement recorded on arrival automatically feeds the invoice, the regulatory report, the border control manifest, and the operational log — simultaneously, without anyone touching a keyboard.
What’s included
Real-Time Operations
Live visibility of every movement on your field — incoming and outgoing flights, runway status, apron capacity. Automated alerts for approaching traffic mean your team always has the information they need, before they need to ask for it.
Compliance Without the Paperwork
Regulatory reports generate automatically from operational data and submit directly to the relevant authorities. What used to consume hours of manual work each week happens in the background, without anyone on your team doing anything differently.
Automated Billing
Every flight movement feeds directly into your billing engine. Landing fees, handling charges, fuel surcharges — all calculated and invoiced automatically, with no manual reconciliation. Dataero integrates with your existing financial tools or provides a built-in billing module if you need one.
Drone & UAS Authorisations
Drone operators submit flight requests directly through the platform. Your team reviews and authorises them in the same operational view as manned traffic — keeping unmanned and manned aviation visible, coordinated, and compliant in one place.
Border Control Integration
Flight manifests are transmitted automatically to customs and police authorities as soon as a movement is confirmed. No separate filing, no missed submissions, no compliance gaps — just a connection that works quietly in the background.
Crew & Passenger Experience
Flight crews access self-service briefing tools on mobile. Passenger information screens pull live data directly from the operational system. No separate updates required — when the data changes, every display changes with it.
Getting started
Dataero is a cloud platform — there is nothing to install on-site, no server infrastructure to procure, and no lengthy IT project to manage before you can start using it. Most airports are fully operational on the platform within four to six weeks of signing up.
Where you have existing systems you want to keep — financial software, fuel management tools, existing databases — Dataero connects to them. Our integration layer is built on standard aviation and business data formats, so the conversation between systems happens without custom development work.
And if you are starting from scratch, that is equally fine. Dataero provides everything you need out of the box, including a billing engine, a document store, and a communications module for crews and ground handlers.
What onboarding looks like
Week 1–2 — Setup & configuration
Your airport’s operational profile is configured. Existing data sources are mapped and connected. Your team gets access to the platform.
Week 3–4 — Parallel running
You run Dataero alongside your existing processes to validate outputs. Your team gets comfortable with the workflows before going fully live.
Week 5+ — Live operations
Dataero becomes the single source of truth for your operation. The old spreadsheets get filed away. The manual re-entry stops.
Ready when you are
Whether you handle fifty movements a week or five hundred a day, Dataero scales to fit. Get in touch to see the platform in action and find out what a deployment at your airport would look like.
