Airbus-owned crew operations + dispatch platform. Strong in EASA carriers (especially A320/A330/A350 operators). Mainframe-legacy core with modernized UI, similar in shape to Sabre.
Airbus relationship — tightest interop with Airbus avionics + manufacturer data. EASA + Part-CAT mature. Strong long-haul ops planning. Partner of choice when a fleet is 90%+ Airbus.
Airbus-fleet carriers globally. Easyjet, Wizz Air, Volaris, and many other large + mid-tier operators on Airbus types.

We're not pretending these are weaknesses. They're real wins for NavBlue. Buy honestly.
Probably not for the airframe-specific data flows where NavBlue's Airbus relationship is irreplaceable (FCOM updates, MMEL changes, performance data). For everything around them — crew, scheduling, compliance, maintenance program admin — we're a fit and we run alongside NavBlue cleanly via REST API.
Yes for vendor neutrality reasons. NavBlue is increasingly Airbus-exclusive in practice; a Boeing 737-heavy carrier gets better value from a platform-neutral choice like us. Mixed-fleet carriers benefit even more from neutrality.
NavBlue is enterprise software contracted at major-airline scale (typically quoted in the millions per year). AviationAlley is priced per deployment (the modules you enable and your integration scope) and set with you, so a short demo is the best way to compare — including running it alongside NavBlue.
We'll set up a center on real data and run side-by-side with NavBlue for a week. If the honest pick is to stay where you are, we'll tell you.
