A new generation of aircraft is on the horizon. Bringing them into real-world operations will take the right systems, infrastructure, and operational planning.
Join us this Thursday, October 15, for “Built in LA: The Next Era of Flight,” a panel discussion on what it will take to make the future of aviation work in practice.
Speakers:
• George Kivork, General Manager, Los Angeles, @flyarcher
• Niall Mulcahy, Director of Airport Operations, @flyjsx
• Kevin Noertker, Co-Founder & CEO, @AmpaireInc
• Saunon Malekshahi, Co-Founder & COO, @moonware_
Moderated by Daniel Baker, Founder, @flightaware
The panel starts at 6:00 PM at Moonware HQ in Santa Monica, followed by happy hour.

Moving into our new office felt like the perfect opportunity to bring people together.
Last week, we were excited to welcome leaders from the aviation industry, venture capital, and tech communities to Moonware's office for an evening of conversation, networking, and new connections.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We're proud to be part of LA's growing aviation and startup ecosystem and look forward to hosting more events like this in the future. ✈️
Ground handlers can lose up to 10% of their revenue, not because the work wasn’t done, but because it wasn’t captured at the source.
We built a vertical to close that gap.
HALO Billing runs directly on operational data. When a turn closes, charges are calculated automatically against contract terms, with timestamps, photos, signatures, and delay codes attached to every line. Finance reviews what the system has already recorded, not what they have to reconstruct.
This is the one of several verticals being built into the platform. More coming soon!

The incident at LaGuardia is tragic, and my thoughts are with everyone affected.
Airports are incredibly complex real-time environments. Aircraft, vehicles, crews, and control systems all have to stay aligned under pressure.
When that coordination breaks down, the consequences can be severe. Improving real-time operational alignment on the ground is exactly why we’re building @moonware_.
There’s a growing push toward autonomous airfields. But autonomy can’t scale without coordination.
Before robots or autonomous GSE can operate seamlessly on the ground, airfields need a central decision layer. A brain that orchestrates crews, equipment, and aircraft in real time.
Today, most airports still rely on radios, whiteboards, and fragmented systems to manage complex turnarounds. That makes resilience, efficiency, and true automation nearly impossible.
Hardware will evolve. Autonomy will come. But the coordination layer has to come first. That’s what we’re building with HALO.

Aviation is at an inflection point.
Between supersonic travel and urban aerial ridesharing sits a future we can all be excited about. But this next chapter of aviation won’t be unlocked by OEMs alone.
It demands new thinking around airspace, infrastructure, slot management, ground operations, passenger connectivity, and tail-to-tail transfers.
These aren’t just new types of aircraft. They’re entirely new modes of air travel, each introducing a new layer of operational complexity.
And the truth is: today’s de-facto tools are brittle. They’re already struggling to keep up with the annual growth in air travel, let alone what comes next.
That’s the gap @moonware_ was founded to address. We help modernize today’s operations while laying the groundwork for what future air travel demands.
Aviation is changing, but ground operations aren’t keeping up.
Moonware is rethinking ground operations with real-time intelligence and coordination, enabling faster decisions, fewer delays, and stronger control.
Founders @javivr_ and @saunonmalek explain what we’re building and why it matters.
Airfield operations have been left behind in aviation’s tech boom. Until now.
HALO keeps flights moving with real-time visibility, automated task assignments, and streamlined workflows built for on-time turnarounds.
We’re not just coordinating ground operations, we’re rethinking how airfields run.

Airfields are some of the toughest environments for connectivity. That’s why HALO is built to keep operations running even when the signal drops.
With HALO:
• Ramp agents can continue performing every task without interruption, even offline
• Photos and activity logs are captured and timestamped in real time
• Data automatically syncs once connectivity is restored
Whether online or offline, HALO keeps ground operations fully in sync, any time, any day.
We’re proud to share that Moonware has won the Digital Innovation Award at the Ground Handling International 2025 Pride of Ground Handling Awards!
Thank you to the GHI team for recognizing our work in advancing digital coordination and automation across airfield operations.
And of course, a huge congratulations to our team and partners who continue to drive innovation on the ground.

Clear communication, without the clutter ✈️
In this video, our VP of Customer Operations, Cecilia Guillen, explains how HALO’s built-in chat feature streamlines ground operations. HALO automatically creates a dedicated chat for every turnaround, connecting only the crew assigned to that flight.
No more juggling third-party apps that sit outside of task assignments and airfield events, just one platform where communication and operations stay in sync.
This is how we’re helping airfields move faster, safer, and smarter.
Moonware is heading to Lisbon next week for the World Aviation Festival! @airlinesblog
Our Founder & CEO, @javivr_, will be speaking on the panel “From tarmac to take-off: future-proofing aviation infrastructure with AI, robotics, and venture capital.”
Moderated by Zero Infinity Partners Partner John Kwaak, the panel will feature leaders from fellow ZIP portfolio companies including @AzaleaRobotics, Metropolis Technologies, and Opfyx.
Stop by our booth to see how HALO, the world’s first Ground Traffic Control platform, is enabling faster turnarounds, reducing delays, and building the operating layer for the next generation of air travel.

Jack Cruzan, our Lead Software Test Engineer, works everywhere from the airfield to the codebase.
Whether he’s testing HALO on-site with clients, writing automation tests, or building tools, his goal is to ensure only the highest-quality software reaches airlines and airports worldwide.
The best part for Jack? Seeing HALO in action with the teams who rely on it.
We’re excited to share that Mark Busalacchi is joining Moonware as our new VP of Sales.
With over 40 years of experience in aviation, Mark has built and scaled operations across major domestic and international airports. He most recently served as VP of Sales & Marketing at Swissport, where he led business development across the U.S. and Canada for more than a decade.
At Moonware, he will lead our commercial efforts and help expand the reach of our mission to modernize airfield operations.

Most airfield ground operations are still managed with pen and paper, whiteboards, and spreadsheets. This approach once made sense, but it now needs an upgrade.
Today, technology can make task assignments more seamless and accurate.
Live Roster is a core feature of Moonware’s HALO platform, built to automate and optimize resource allocation. By analyzing real-time flight data, crew shifts, and certifications, it ensures the right team is deployed for every turnaround.
The result: faster coordination and more efficient operations.
