Aeronautical Information Management made easy

Nilacandi was present at the Global AIM 2023 congress in Cairo, Egypt.

facilis, is, e (Latin) /ˈfa.ki.lis/ adj. (from facio, do, make) 1. Easy to do/make 2. Easy, facile 3. Well-disposed.facilis.aero (worldwide) /ˈfa.si.lis.dɒt.æɹo/ Cloud-based software to easily manage aeronautical information.

Facilis®.aero offers a suite of online software for Aeronautical Information Management (AIM), assisting AIS departments in their migration from paper products to digital ones.

Aeronautical data input, made easy

Collect aeronautical data directly from your Data Providers and Data Originators, in digital form, in AIXM 5.1 or other standards.

Data input forms are simple and neat, specifically designed for each Data Originator/Provider profile: they can focus on their data and they have no need to know about AIXM or even AIM.

Access data from anywhere at any time

#StaySafe and avoid in-person delivery of promulgation advice forms, constrained by office opening hours. Facilis.aero is open 24x7 and is guaranteed coronavirus-free!

In this difficult pandemic period, many States impose lock-downs and many organisations encourage staff to work from home. Facilis.aero is designed for remote collaborative work.


No installation, no maintenance

Does your future AIM system require an air-conditioned server room with redundant power supply, 6 months delivery time, highly-skilled (and paid) IT staff and mandatory maintenance contract?

Facilis.aero virtual AIM office can be operational in 1 day. It is Software-as-a-Service: AIS can focus on managing aeronautical information while we take care of hardware, software, network, upgrades, IT security, 24x7 availability and, yes, air-conditioning also.

No investment, lower TCO

Facilis.aero works on an affordable monthly or yearly subscription. This flexibility may help reduces administrative burdens and tendering process related to a large investment. Is it easy to obtain a huge budget that ties your department for 10 years? Try our service for free for 1 month, sign-up for 1 month or 1 year at a time. You can use the service for as long or as short as you like. 

Subscription-based software means the cost of the service can pass as running expenses rather than investment. That's a big difference in your AIS budget. Furthermore, the Total Cost of Ownership of our service is significantly lower.

Beta Testing Period

Facilis Origin is accessible to a selected group of AIS departments during a beta testing period starting in September 2020. The service is free during this period, but is not for operational use. We use this period for fine-tuning, to detect as many defects as possible, and get ready for operations.

No AIS Left Behind!

This tag line, "No AIS left behind", was coined by IFAIMA based on ICAO's own "No country left behind" slogan, to encourage AIS departments around the world in joining the global (r)evolution from AIS to AIM. Facilis.aero was started with that same spirit. We make modern technologies accessible and affordable to AIS departments worldwide, for a fraction of the cost of incumbent software providers.

Facilis.aero makes AIM easier.
