Aerowise Launches Platform Linking Flight Coordination and Expense Review for Business Aviation
Why It MattersTying expense review to the individual flight, before closure, reflects how owner-facing business aviation is shifting toward per-flight cost transparency and clearer accountability between pilots, operators and owners.
What happened
Aerowise, a Latin American aviation services company, has launched a platform that connects flight coordination and expense review for pilots, operators, aircraft owners and family offices. Commercial subscriptions are available from NBAA-BACE 2026.
The platform puts itineraries, permits, airport services, crew and passenger documentation, operational communications and expenses into one shared workspace. Its Flight Actuals workflow organizes expenses by flight, identifies missing invoices and supports the review of charges before flight closure.
Perla Fagundez Lentz, founder and CEO of Aerowise, said: "Aircraft owners need to understand what each flight costs, and pilots need a clear way to review the services and expenses they are responsible for. We are building Aerowise around that shared need: clear information, explicit responsibilities and less time spent chasing documents and updates."
Aerowise is also developing an AI assistant, Amel-ia, to help users navigate operational information while preserving human review and decision-making. The company was founded by Fagundez Lentz, who has more than 21 years of experience in business aviation, and provides ground handling services in Argentina and Uruguay alongside international trip support and technology solutions.
Industry impact & what to watch
Flight-level cost reconciliation is a persistent friction point in owner-operated and managed business aviation. Invoices arrive from handlers, fuel suppliers and service providers at different times, and the party who ordered a service is often not the party who pays for it. Organizing charges by flight and flagging missing invoices before a trip is closed targets that gap directly, and it puts the pilot's own spend under the same review as everyone else's.
The pairing of coordination and expense review in one workspace also reflects how family offices and owners increasingly expect to see cost data tied to operational events rather than reconciled afterwards from separate systems. Whether that expectation spreads depends on how many operators are willing to share trip and cost records on a common platform with their clients.
Aerowise's ground handling business in Argentina and Uruguay gives it an operational footprint beyond software, which is a different starting point from pure technology vendors in this space. The nearest milestone is the start of commercial subscriptions at NBAA-BACE 2026, and the AI assistant Amel-ia remains in development.
