Next-generation platform empowers airports with integrated analytics,
AI assistance, and streamlined management
BINGHAMTON, N.Y., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — InfraSolutions®, LLC, a McFarland-Johnson, Inc. (MJ) company, today unveiled AVIAS® 2.0, the next generation of its airport management and planning technology platform. Purpose-built to empower airports with smarter decisions across the entire lifecycle, AVIAS 2.0 brings together advanced analytics, flexible workflows, geospatial intelligence, multi-airport control, and AI-powered assistance in a single, modern platform.
Since its launch in May 2024, AVIAS has helped airports manage information and processes spanning capital planning, forecasting, inspections, pavement management, obstruction analysis, land development, and terminal planning. AVIAS 2.0 builds on that foundation with new capabilities for today’s increasingly complex airport needs.
“AVIAS 2.0 is a game changer for airport leaders seeking to connect information, people, and decisions like never before,” said Jason Shevrin, VP and Director of Technology for InfraSolutions. “We built this platform for today’s fast-evolving airport environment, where multiple stakeholders, advanced data, complex funding, and ongoing scenario planning are the norm. AVIAS 2.0 unites these elements in a more seamless, intelligent, and actionable environment.”
AVIAS 2.0 features a robust platform architecture that empowers organizations managing one or multiple airports. The updated interface is intentionally standardized, so AVIAS looks and feels the same wherever it is deployed. Users benefit from consistent navigation, dashboards, and branding, reinforcing AVIAS as a unified, recognizable platform and reducing variation across implementations. Seamless workflows and location-aware data across airport locations are complemented by an improved user experience, faster GIS and mapping performance, and greater flexibility to configure airport-specific business rules and processes.
What’s New in AVIAS 2.0
- Multi-airport management and a location-aware platform enable seamless oversight and rapid switching between operational sites, reinforcing a unified AVIAS experience.
- Enterprise-grade security utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its independently audited cloud infrastructure and security controls, aligned with widely recognized standards including SOC and ISO 27001, to ensure robust protection for AVIAS.
- Secure and resilient cloud architecture, leveraging AWS services for secure application hosting, two-factor authentication (2FA), encrypted data storage, backup and recovery, and managed AI capabilities, providing a scalable, resilient foundation for airport operations.
- Decision Support integrates dashboards, real-time KPIs, and clear status context to provide actionable insights for faster, more informed decisions.
- Configurable, dynamic workflows and permissions adapt to each airport’s unique structure, streamlining operations as needs evolve.
- Advanced forecasting, scenario analysis, and financial evaluation tools give airports greater control over planning, operational triggers, and investment opportunities.
- Enhanced GIS, visualization, and lifecycle management deliver intuitive data interaction and greater asset visibility.
- Improved lifecycle management for assets and obstructions, offering greater visibility into historical changes.
- Modernized FAA and operational integrations support the latest NOTAM standards.
- Expanded development and financial scenario capabilities for evaluating airport property and investment opportunities.
- AVA, the AVIAS virtual assistant, streamlines information access and workflows with AI-powered natural-language interaction.
The AVIAS platform continues to bring together specialized applications that address key areas of airport planning and management.
AEROCLEAR™ provides enhanced obstruction and asset lifecycle tracking, helping airports understand changes to critical features over time.
CAPLAN™ provides capital improvement and funding management with expanded permissions, configurable approval workflows, and greater control over project and financial processes.
DYNAMIC ANALYSIS TOOL® delivers forecasting and scenario-based planning with airport-specific forecasting factors and configurable financial and planning triggers.
FLOW™ supports terminal demand and capacity analysis, helping airports evaluate facilities and operational requirements from the curb through the gate.
INSPECT™ supports airport inspections, asset management, and operational workflows, with updates to FAA NOTAM integration and weather information.
RUMBLE™ supports pavement management with an improved user experience and enhanced map performance.
SITES™ supports airport land and development planning with improved highest-and-best-use analysis and greater flexibility for financial scenarios.
Together, these applications create a connected environment where airports can transform operational, financial, geographic, and planning information into actionable decisions. The addition of AVA, AVIAS 2.0’s AI-powered virtual assistant, delivers a new level of accessibility and productivity, allowing users to quickly find information, manage documents and insights, and navigate complex tasks using intuitive, conversational commands.
“AI should make airport technology more accessible, not more complicated,” added Shevrin. “AVA provides a natural way for users to interact with the wealth of information in their airport systems, helping teams spend less time searching for information and more time making informed decisions.”
From Data to Decisions
Today’s airports face constant change: shifting demand, funding, infrastructure needs, development opportunities, and operational constraints. AVIAS 2.0 brings these considerations together, enabling organizations to evaluate scenarios and make informed decisions in a unified environment. Instead of treating planning, operations, and capital management as separate silos, AVIAS 2.0 connects information across disciplines, making it easier to analyze, update, and act on data.
“AVIAS is about more than adding features,” said Shevrin. “It’s about creating a stronger link between the information airports collect and the decisions they need to make.”
AVIAS 2.0 is now available.
