Unprecedented growth inspires Bluetail product plans
Bluetail recently received a new round of funding and is poised to take its platform to the next level, accelerating the adoption of fully-digital maintenance systems.

Bluetail has seen a more than 1,400 per cent increase in records from 2023 to today, and now houses well over nine million. Along with a 185 per cent increase in aircraft within the platform, Bluetail plans to continue its trajectory, aiming towards a nextgen platform to rule a brand new category, the ‘Maintenance Information Management’ category.

“Since we started Bluetail over five years ago, we've always listened to our customers to create a product that was truly built by aviation experts for aviation experts,” says chief aviation officer Stuart Illian. “Our platform has collected millions of records and data points, allowing us to deliver solutions that meet our customers' needs. With this round of funding from AZ-VC, we're going to be able to double down on that promise, positioning us to be the first company that could shift business aviation to 100 per cent digital moving forward.”

Bluetail has been working with partners and customers to level-up the platform even more, utilising artificial intelligence and machine learning to expand focus and include additional automation and record routing opportunities. These updates are geared to change aviation record management as maintenance teams know it today, making the process of managing, organising and creating records faster and easier than ever before.
