Born at AISBA 2026, Daytona Beach

Where business aviation figures out AI.

A members-only forum for operators, brokers, FBOs, MROs and flight departments to ask candid questions, compare notes on tools, and share what is actually working.

  • Real names, vetted members
  • What is shared here stays here
  • Free for members, funded by sponsors

Why a private forum

Somewhere between a LinkedIn post and a phone call to a friend.

Everyone in business aviation is being sold AI. Very few people will tell you, in writing, what actually worked in their operation, what it cost, and what broke. That candor needs a room with a door.

Candid by design

Real names and companies, an approval gate, and one simple rule: what is shared here stays here. Members tell you what the demo did not.

Built to be searched

Discussion spaces by topic, questions with a marked best answer, and full-text search. The answer you need in month six is still there, not buried under a feed.

Practitioners, not tourists

Members run charter desks, hangars, FBOs and flight departments. Vendors are welcome as experts, and identified as such on their profile.

Discussion spaces

Organized the way your company is.

Ten spaces that follow the org chart of an operator, from the charter desk to the hangar to the back office. Ask in the space where the people who have done it are already reading.

Inside the community

A feed that feels familiar, built on structure that lasts.

Latest activity, top threads, unanswered questions. Every thread lives in a space, carries tags, and can be marked answered, so the good stuff is one search away.

What does your SMS say about AI-generated documents? Ours said nothing, and the auditor asked.

During our audit last month the question came up: which of your procedures were drafted with AI, and who reviewed them? We had no policy. We do now, and I'll share the language once legal is done…

How it works

From application to first answer in a few days.

  1. 01

    Request to join

    Two minutes: your name, company, role, and what you are hoping to learn or share.

  2. 02

    We review

    A person reads every application, usually within two business days. We check that you work in or around business aviation.

  3. 03

    Introduce yourself

    Say what you fly, sell or fix, and what you are trying to figure out. That first post is where the connections start.

  4. 04

    Ask, share, meet

    Post questions, show what you built, review tools, and join member calls. The archive gets more valuable every month.

Who is here

The founding cohort is forming now.

The first members are the 150-plus operators, brokers, FBO and MRO leaders, flight departments and technology people who met at the inaugural AI Symposium for Business Aviation at Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach. Join them while the norms are still being written.

Member segments

  • Charter operator (Part 135)
  • Corporate flight department (Part 91)
  • Charter broker
  • FBO / ground handling
  • MRO / maintenance
  • Aircraft management
  • OEM
  • Software / technology vendor
  • Consultant
  • Training / academia

Vendors and consultants are welcome as members. They are identified on their profile, can answer questions in their area of expertise, and do not pitch outside clearly labeled sponsor content.

Sponsors

Free for members. Paid for by companies who want to be in the room.

Hosting, email, and the hours it takes to run a community cost money. Sponsors cover it in exchange for tasteful recognition, never for member data or a say in the conversation.

Founding sponsors

  • Seat 1
  • Seat 2
  • Seat 3

3 of 3 founding sponsor seats are open. Founding sponsors are named in the community's story, permanently.

Sponsorship details

Questions

The practical details.

Is it free?
Yes, for members. Sponsors cover the cost of running the community. There is no paid tier and nothing is gated behind payment.
Who can join?
Anyone who works in or around business aviation: operators, brokers, FBOs, MROs, flight departments, aircraft management, OEMs, and the people who build software for them. A person reviews every application.
Can vendors and consultants join?
Yes, as people rather than marketing accounts. Vendors are identified on their profile, may answer questions in their area of expertise, and may not pitch outside clearly labeled sponsor content. Members can and do ask hard questions about products.
What about confidentiality?
What members share stays in the community: no screenshots, no quoting outside without the author's permission. Do not post customer data, anything under NDA, or anything you would not say with your name attached, because your name is attached.
How is this different from a LinkedIn group or a Slack?
It is smaller and vetted, so people write candidly. It is structured for reference, so a good answer is still findable a year later. And nobody is performing for an algorithm.
Who runs it?
AISBA is the AI Symposium for Business Aviation, created by Tuvoli, NATA and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's David B. O'Maley College of Business. This community grew out of the inaugural symposium in September 2026 so the conversation could continue year-round, and it is run by the AISBA team with member moderators. Questions and ideas: roman@gibralink.ai.

Request to join

Bring what you learned in Daytona. Keep the conversation going until AISBA 2027.

Applications are reviewed by a person, within two business days. Members are welcome to invite peers once they are in.
