Our Mission
Qlarios is led by professionals who have spent more than two decades at the center of the US aeronautical information community. Our team have supported the FAA across the full aeronautical information lifecycle and have played a substantive role in aeronautical management.
A working knowledge of RTCA and EUROCAE policies and standards gives Qlarios direct familiarity with the regulatory and standards framework within which European civil aviation authorities — including FOCA — operate. We bring that transatlantic perspective to every engagement we undertake.
Architectured and implemented, NOTAM system program, supporting the aeronautical information lifecycle across data creation, validation, distribution, and downstream safety assurance.
Two decades of AIXM expertise spanning design, implementation, and cross-ANSP collaboration — championing global harmonization of aeronautical information and the shift toward machine-readable data in place of traditional paper-based products.
provide strategic input, and help define future visions — underpinned by extensive domain and technology expertise.
Track Record
Our credentials are defined by the systems we have shipped — not the proposals we have written. These are platforms in active operation, relied upon daily by aviation authorities, controllers, and operators.
FAA — Federal Aviation Administration
Our team brings unmatched depth in digital NOTAMs and aeronautical information — spanning origination, management, and distribution — to make real-time, machine-interpretable aeronautical data a reality.
FAA × EUROCONTROL

Trusted by ANSPs Worldwide
Trusted by ANSPs globally to evaluate implementation and modernization efforts, provide strategic input, and help define future visions — underpinned by extensive domain and technology expertise.
FAA — Federal Aviation Administration
Delivered advanced post-analysis platforms for the FAA enabling safety investigators and analysts to correlate flight data, incident reports, and aeronautical information across large datasets. These systems support evidence-based decision-making, trend identification, and systemic risk mitigation — contributing directly to the FAA's safety oversight mandate and the continuous improvement of the National Airspace System.
FOCA — Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation
Designed, developed, and delivered the complete technical solution for DCS — a live production platform operated by ITV Consult AG on behalf of FOCA Switzerland. DCS modernises the submission, assessment, and regulatory approval of aeronautical data including obstacles, Navaids, powerlines, airports, and area surveys, built on a cloud-native AWS ECS architecture with full security hardening and audit compliance.
How We Work
Our team has lived inside aviation operations — we understand NOTAM cycles, obstacle limitation surfaces, and airspace structure not from documentation alone but from years of hands-on system delivery. That domain depth shapes every architectural and product decision we make.
Aviation software fails differently from other software — the consequences reach aircraft, passengers, and airspace. We design with that reality in mind: rigorous validation, redundancy, comprehensive audit trails, and zero tolerance for silent failure.
ICAO Annexes, PANS-OPS, FAA Orders, EASA regulations — we treat international and national aviation standards as engineering requirements, not afterthoughts. Compliance is built in from the first commit, not bolted on before delivery.
We don't parachute in, deliver code, and disappear. Our engagements are built around sustained partnership — staying close to operations, iterating on live systems, and ensuring every platform we deliver grows alongside the needs of the authority or operator running it.
Aeronautical requirements are intricate, multi-stakeholder, and regulation-dense. Our competitive edge is the ability to translate that complexity into software that is intuitive for users, maintainable for teams, and defensible for regulators.
Every platform we build carries the assumption that it will be relied upon, audited, and scrutinised. We apply defence-in-depth security, structured logging, infrastructure-as-code, and blue/green deployment practices as standard — not on request.
Our Journey
Early 2000s
Deep engagement with the FAA spanning the full aeronautical information lifecycle — from data creation and validation to distribution and safety assurance — on mission-critical, 99.99%-uptime national infrastructure.
Mid 2000s
Original member of the FAA team that collaborated with EUROCONTROL to design and develop AIXM. This work established the global standard for aeronautical information exchange, now embedded in AIM systems operated by authorities worldwide.
2010s – Present
Our team has designed and delivered solutions spanning the full aeronautical information lifecycle — from static data management, dynamic data (NOTAMs), and … Our team has designed and delivered solutions spanning the full aeronautical information lifecycle — from static data management, dynamic data (NOTAMs), and airport data management to special activity airspace restrictions, temporary flight restrictions, obstacle data management, and sector data analysis. Built on deep hands-on experience, our work reflects both the rigor of proven delivery and a forward-looking vision for where aeronautical information is headed.
Ongoing
Trusted by ANSPs globally to evaluate implementation and modernization efforts, provide strategic input, and help define future visions — underpinned by extensive domain and technology expertise.
2020s
Qlarios is founded to direct two decades of US and international AIM expertise into a dedicated software practice. Immediate delivery of DCS for FOCA Switzerland — a live production platform managing Swiss national airspace data, built on proven aviation engineering discipline.
Today
Continuing to build mission-critical aviation platforms across jurisdictions — bringing FAA-grade rigour, international standards fluency, and deep domain expertise to every engagement.
Whether you're modernising a legacy platform or building something entirely new, our team brings the domain depth and engineering discipline your project demands.
