Air Portal Ltd: Mission-Critical Aviation Platform
How we built a comprehensive aviation management platform using Ruby on Rails that manages 10K+ daily flights with 99.98% uptime, revolutionizing flight operations and airport coordination across 150+ partners.
Project Overview
Aviation Platform Impact & Results
Our Ruby on Rails aviation platform delivered exceptional results across all key aviation operational metrics
The Aviation Challenge
Air Portal Ltd needed to build a mission-critical aviation platform capable of managing 10K+ daily flights across 150+ airport partners while maintaining 99.98% uptime. The challenge was creating a robust system that could:
- • Coordinate real-time flight operations across multiple airports
- • Ensure compliance with international aviation regulations
- • Process 5TB of daily aviation data with sub-100ms response times
- • Integrate with diverse airport systems and air traffic control
- • Maintain mission-critical reliability for flight safety
- • Optimize crew scheduling and resource allocation
Our Aviation Solution
We developed a comprehensive Ruby on Rails platform with advanced aviation features:
- • Ruby on Rails Backend: Robust platform with real-time flight tracking and operations
- • PostgreSQL Database: Optimized for aviation data with high-frequency updates
- • Real-time Operations: ActionCable integration for live flight status updates
- • Regulatory Compliance: Automated ICAO, FAA, and EASA compliance workflows
- • Multi-Airport Integration: Flexible adapters for diverse airport systems
- • Mission-Critical Infrastructure: Redundant systems with automatic failover
Our Unique Perspective & Value
What sets our approach apart and the distinctive value we bring to mission-critical aviation platform development
Mission-Critical Reliability
Our deep understanding of aviation safety requirements enabled us to architect a platform with 99.98% uptime and sub-minute failover capabilities, where system failures could directly impact flight safety and operations.
Regulatory Compliance Mastery
We pioneered automated compliance workflows for ICAO, FAA, and EASA regulations while maintaining operational efficiency, processing 5TB of daily aviation data with real-time validation and audit trail capabilities.
Global Aviation Integration
Successfully integrated 150+ diverse airport systems with standardized data transformation pipelines, managing 10K+ daily flights while reducing operational costs by 45% through intelligent resource optimization and automation.
