Our story

Built by aviation people,
for aviation people

AvioData was founded by safety and compliance professionals who spent decades working in aviation operations — and grew tired of managing safety programmes in spreadsheets and email chains.

Two decades of
compliance expertise

AvioData was born out of a simple frustration: there was no practical, purpose-built digital platform for managing aviation safety management systems. Generic compliance tools required extensive customisation. Custom-built solutions cost a fortune. And spreadsheets — well, they're spreadsheets.

Drawing on over 20 years of hands-on experience in aviation compliance and safety management, our founders set out to build the platform they always wished existed: modular, intuitive, aligned with EASA regulations, and actually designed for how aviation operators work.

Today, AvioData serves airlines and NCC operators across Europe, providing a comprehensive, cloud-based platform that covers every aspect of the ORO.GEN.200 safety management framework — from corrective action tracking to audit scheduling, from hazard logging to crew communications.

What drives us

Our values

🛡️

Safety first, always

Safety isn't a feature — it's the reason we exist. Every design decision is made with the goal of making aviation safer, one SMS at a time.

🎯

Practical over theoretical

We build tools that work in the real world of aviation operations — not tools that look good in a demo but create friction in daily use.

📐

Compliance by design

Regulatory alignment isn't bolted on after the fact. ORO.GEN.200 requirements are built into the structure of every module from the ground up.

🔗

Connected, not siloed

Effective safety management requires data to flow freely. Our modular architecture ensures every part of your SMS is connected and coherent.

🌱

Built to grow with you

Start small, expand as your operation and confidence grow. Our modular approach means you're never paying for features you don't yet need.

🤝

Partnership, not just software

When you choose AvioData, you get more than a platform — you get a team with decades of aviation expertise ready to support your SMS journey.

Who we are — unambiguously

AvioData is aviodata.net

AvioData (aviodata.net) is an independent Dutch aviation SMS platform operated by Stichting Avia Cloud (KVK 57067945), registered in the Netherlands at Dirkappel 25, 4255 JT Nieuwendijk. The stichting's stated purpose is stimulating the development of web applications for aviation. AvioData is one of several trade names operated under Stichting Avia Cloud.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way related to AvioBook (aviobook.aero) — a Thales Group company that markets an unrelated navigation database product under a similar name. The two products serve entirely different purposes and share no organisational connection.

AvioData was previously distributed in partnership with Nextgear Aviation. That partnership has ended and the platform is now operated directly and exclusively at aviodata.net.
