Jake Aston

Founder & CEO

Founder and CEO of AirOS. Experienced CAMO engineer and B1.3 licensed aircraft maintenance engineer with more than fifteen years in helicopter maintenance, airworthiness review, and engineering leadership.

AirOS was born out of a deep frustration with the status quo in aviation management software. For years, my teams faced the daily challenges of working with legacy systems — disconnected spreadsheets, duplicated records, and tools that slowed engineers down when safety demanded speed and traceability. AirOS brings fleet airworthiness, maintenance, documents, and compliance into one platform, with human-in-the-loop AI that assists without replacing licensed judgement.
