Jetstream is a powerful intelligence engine for airline operations

A typical U.S. airline dispatcher works across dozens of browser tabs and desktop apps on multiple screens during a shift, cycling through weather products, NOTAMs, flight tracking, airspace advisories, messaging systems, and internal tools to maintain situational awareness. It’s a needle-in-the-haystack problem that’s rapidly getting worse as airspace traffic, weather volatility, fuel prices, and operational requirements increase.

The industry’s existing software stacks were a huge step forward when they were created 20-30 years ago, but they’re not up for today’s challenges. Adding new UIs and bolting on AI aren’t enough – airlines need a platform designed from the ground up to deliver real-time flight intelligence from high-volume data, across the entire day of operations.

 That’s where Flight Science comes in.

Over the last two years, we’ve been building a new foundation: Jetstream, our flight intelligence engine. Every five seconds, Jetstream builds a complete operational picture of an airline’s flights by fusing ATC, airport, weather, flight tracking, and aircraft telemetry data. Jetstream’s physics-based aircraft performance model translates those inputs into fuel, time, and trajectory estimates and predictions, and applies machine learning-derived adjustments for fleet configuration and individual tail differences. Finally, our True Cost Index calculates the actual cost of each flight to the airline, in context, as conditions change.

The result is a system that earns the attention it asks for, with relevant, timely, and noise-free alerts; recommendations that are more likely to be cleared and flown; and cost and time savings that compound across thousands of flights a day. This is what an airline’s operation looks like when its software was built for the problems of 2026, not 1996. That’s the foundation Jetstream provides.

What comes next from Flight Science

Flight Science DX, our integrated flight monitoring, communications, and optimization platform for dispatchers, goes live with launch customers this August. Optimize, our in-flight recommendation engine with True Cost Index and turbulence avoidance, is available today. And Smart Alerts, our automated alerting engine, is available now with operational alerts delivered via ACARS, Microsoft Teams, email, and SMS. All three products can be adopted modularly with simple integration.

If your airline wants to see a DX demo and have an early-access conversation before it ships, contact wes@flightscience.ai.
