Assaia has secured $26.6 million in an oversubscribed Series B funding round. The round was led by European investment firm Armira Growth, alongside existing investors.
The software company will use the funding to scale its aviation AI platform globally and launch new solutions to further improve airport, airline, and ground handler efficiency.
Assaia's AI-driven technology optimises commercial aircraft turnaround processes at airports by providing real-time visibility and automation across apron operations.
The platform helps reduce delays, improve on-time performance, and enhance gate utilisation. The technology is already deployed across several major international hubs including New York JFK, London Heathrow, Dubai International, and Toronto Pearson.
“This investment signals a new phase of growth for Assaia, as airports and airlines increasingly look to AI for solutions to mounting operational challenges," said Assaia CEO Christiaan Hen.
"With Armira’s backing, we are accelerating the rollout of new technologies and expanding our footprint to deliver measurable value in some of the world’s most complex airport environments.”
“We focus on investing in resilient business models that demonstrate a distinct technological advantage, and Assaia exemplifies that," said Amira Growth managing partner Christian Figge.
"The AI platform is already transforming airport operations and helping the aviation industry navigate some of its most complex challenges.”
A portion of the new funding will support the launch of a next-generation planning module StandManager. The module uses AI to optimise gate and stand assignments before aircraft land.
Assaia said the new module will enable more efficient gate usage and improve operational predictability.
