Bluetail has surpassed 15 million aircraft records digitised across 47 US states and international markets. To put that scale into perspective: if each page were laid end-to-end, they would stretch the entire distance from New York City to Los Angeles.

This massive collection of records is now the foundation for building business aviation's first large-scale AI model designed specifically to understand and work with aircraft records, setting the stage for the next generation of intelligent records. By transforming millions of static records into structured, AI-readable data, Bluetail is laying the groundwork for intelligent features that will assist operators with more informed decision-making. These advancements, coming later this year, are expected to redefine how aircraft owners, operators and MROs interact with their records.

Bluetail's growth has been nothing short of exponential, experiencing a 2,400 per cent increase in records in the platform from early 2023. The company has more than doubled the size of its onsite scanning network every year for the past three years, covering more than 250,000 miles per year to bring FAA-compliant records into the digital age.

Built as the ‘Uber of aircraft records scanning’, Bluetail's mobile scanning network is the aviation industry's only fully scalable, onsite solution powered by a revolutionary crowdsourced workforce of FAA-certified A&Ps and aviation professionals. From single-engine pistons to commercial airlines and everything in between, Bluetail digitises everything from logbooks, burn certificates and FAA forms to ramp-check essentials, then makes them instantly searchable, sharable and secure within the cloud-based platform.

“Our success proves that the industry is modernising and ready for smarter, faster, compliant solutions,” notes Shelly Fendly, Bluetail's vice president of services. “We didn't just build a scanning service, we built an aviation-first network that acts as a competitive moat, meeting operators wherever they are and transforming their paper records into searchable, secure digital assets all in one system.”

Bluetail adheres to FAA guidelines, including AC 120-78B and FAR 43.12, and maintains SOC 2 compliance across its operations, ensuring a secure, trusted and compliant digital record keeping experience for aircraft owners, operators, MROs and charter companies.

Bluetail continues to set the standard in digitising aviation's most valuable asset, its records. Whether the job is in White Plains, Brisbane or Malta, Bluetail's scanning experts come directly to the aircraft, making records instantly accessible after organisation in the platform for research, compliance, resale, audits or inspections.
