What SkyPath does

SkyPath is a software-only aviation data platform that delivers real-time and predictive turbulence intelligence to commercial airlines, business aviation operators, EFB/EFF application developers, and individual pilots. The company's core product is its iPad application, which uses a patented on-device accelerometer to crowdsource turbulence observations and fuses those observations with four additional data sources — ADS-B vertical-rate measurements, eddy dissipation rate (EDR) data, pilot-filed PIREPs, and proprietary AI-driven nowcasting — through an AI-powered consolidated data engine called OneLayer. The platform surfaces visible and audible in-flight alerts up to ~100NM ahead, supports 12-hour nowcasts at 80%+ accuracy, and was the first EFB application to support the ARINC 840A flight-plan synchronization protocol.

The technology footprint extends beyond the app: SkyPath distributes turbulence data via an iOS SDK, a Web SDK, and a REST API so that third-party EFB/EFF vendors and flight-planning systems can embed ride-quality intelligence, and the platform integrates directly with major aircraft connectivity providers (FOMAX, Gogo, SATCOM Direct, Starlink) for avionics-grade ownship positioning. Adjacent safety and sustainability layers include a GPS Interference Layer (developed with SkAI Data Services) for real-time jamming and spoofing awareness, and a Contrails Layer powered by Google AI for climate-conscious flight planning. SOC 2 Type 2 certification (audited by PwC) supports enterprise procurement requirements, and scientific credibility is reinforced by a strategic advisory relationship with Prof. Paul Williams (University of Reading).

SkyPath monetizes through three subscription tiers — Basic at $49/month, Premium at $69/month, and a custom Enterprise tier for operators with more than 10 pilots — distributed via the Apple App Store for individual pilots and a direct enterprise sales motion for airlines and corporate aviation operators. The go-to-market additionally leverages SDK/API distribution into the EFB developer ecosystem and partnerships with connectivity and AI providers. The company has not disclosed funding rounds, revenue, or parent-company ownership; management is led by CEO Maya Shpak alongside a small executive bench (CPO, VP Sales, VP R&D) and a board that includes representation from Harel Tech.

Core offering

SkyPath is a software-only turbulence mitigation platform that combines five distinct turbulence data sources (crowdsourced pilot observations, ADS-B vertical rate, eddy dissipation rate, PIREPs, and AI-driven nowcasting) through its proprietary OneLayer engine to deliver real-time and predictive ride quality intelligence. It provides visible and audible turbulence alerts, 12-hour nowcasting, and ecosystem-wide distribution to pilots, dispatchers, cabin crew, and management in commercial and business aviation, with no hardware installation required.

Product overview

SkyPath is a software-only, end-to-end turbulence mitigation platform for airlines and business aviation. The core product is the SkyPath iPad app, which crowdsources real-time turbulence observations from pilots using the device's accelerometer and fuses data from five distinct sources (pilot observations, ADS-B vertical rate, EDR, PIREPs, and AI-driven nowcasting) through its proprietary OneLayer consolidated data engine. SkyPath delivers visible and audible turbulence alerts, 12-hour AI predictions, and role-specific tools for pilots, dispatchers, cabin crew, management, and safety teams via the SkyPath 360 ecosystem. Additional layers include a GPS Interference Layer (for jamming/spoofing detection) and a Contrails Layer (powered by Google AI for sustainable aviation). The platform is available in three subscription tiers (Basic at $49/mo, Premium at $69/mo, and Enterprise), and offers iOS SDK, Web SDK, and REST API for third-party integration. The platform requires no hardware, no aircraft modifications, and no downtime to deploy.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• DTN: Provider of weather, climate, and operational intelligence for aviation, agriculture, and energy. Broad incumbent with established airline and operator relationships that competes for aviation weather and turbulence analytics budgets.
• The Weather Company (IBM): Large-scale commercial weather data provider with aviation offerings. Broad incumbent that competes as an upstream weather/turbulence data vendor and could integrate forecasting into airline operations at enterprise scale.
• Honeywell Forge: Honeywell's enterprise aviation analytics platform serving airlines with operational, safety, and predictive modules. Broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities in flight operations analytics and the resources to bundle or build competing turbulence AI.
• WSI (Weather Services International / Storm Geo): Aviation weather data and decision-support services targeting commercial airlines and operators. Broad incumbent with established enterprise contracts that overlaps with SkyPath's dispatch and operations-center use cases.

Direct peers

• ForeFlight: Leading EFB platform used by commercial and business aviation pilots with weather, turbulence, and flight-planning features. Direct peer because pilots use ForeFlight as their cockpit workflow layer and SkyPath's OneLayer/SDK strategy explicitly targets this integration.
• Garmin Pilot: Garmin's EFB app combining flight planning, weather, and turbulence data for pilots and operators. Direct peer because it competes for the same in-cockpit workflow slot and already incorporates third-party turbulence data sources.
• Turbulence Forecast: Consumer-facing turbulence map and forecast service for pilots and travelers. Closest direct peer in the turbulence-forecasting niche, though it lacks SkyPath's multi-source fusion, iPad accelerometer crowdsourcing, and enterprise dispatch tooling.

Emerging players

• Tomorrow.io: Weather intelligence platform with aviation vertical offerings, focused on high-resolution forecasting and decision support. Emerging player with overlapping aviation weather and nowcasting ambitions and enterprise SaaS DNA similar to SkyPath.
• Spire Aviation: Spire's aviation weather data services using satellite radio occultation. Emerging player that overlaps with SkyPath's atmospheric data ambitions and could be an upstream data partner or competitor depending on go-to-market direction.

Others

• Aviation Weather Center (NOAA/NWS): U.S. government provider of aviation weather products including turbulence, icing, and convective forecasts. Not a commercial peer but a foundational upstream/competing source that constrains paid willingness-to-pay for turbulence data.
