SOJI AI, a company specializing in AI-driven software solutions, and Airborne Capital Limited, an aircraft asset manager and aviation advisor, formally announced their partnership on December 15. The collaboration aims to accelerate the development of AI-enabled software solutions for the aviation sector, leveraging Airborne Capital’s intellectual and financial investment.
SOJI has developed an aviation-focused, agentic AI system designed to interpret unstructured technical records. This system can instantly read, structure, review, and contextualize technical information for users. The partnership seeks to integrate decades of aviation experience with advanced AI technology to create products and technical services that streamline traditionally manual processes, facilitate faster decision-making, provide operational cost savings, and enable clients to focus on core, high-value tasks.
Florian Falk, CEO of SOJI, noted the potential of AI to drive efficiencies in the aviation sector, which is characterized by complex, manual, and regulated processes. He stated that customized, AI-driven solutions would provide clients with enhanced clarity, precision, and usable insights from large volumes of complex, aviation-specific data.
Ramki Sundaram, CEO of Airborne Capital, indicated that the partnership aligns with Airborne Capital’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence within aviation, broadening its services and capabilities for clients and partners. This announcement follows Airborne Capital’s strategic partnership agreement with MRO Japan Co. Ltd. in September, which focuses on technical advisory services for airlines and lessors, including records review, supply chain management, and project planning for end-of-lease transitions.
Airborne Capital is an aircraft asset management and advisory firm with operations in Ireland, the UK, the US, Hong Kong, and Japan through joint ventures with Daiwa Securities Group (D-Air) and Mercuria Investment Co. Ltd. (Mercuria Airborne Capital Co., Ltd.). The company manages over US$2 billion in aircraft assets, connecting global investors with aircraft capital solutions and advisory services for airlines and lessors.
SOJI AI, established in 2023 by Florian Falk and Max Lorenz, is based in Hamburg and Singapore. The company focuses on developing AI-driven software solutions specifically for the aviation industry, aiming to transform complex maintenance data into actionable decisions, thereby maximizing asset utilization, enhancing transparency, and minimizing operational delays.
