One trusted network for aerospace assets
Aviation already runs on shared data between partners you have to trust. Today that trust is rebuilt by hand, deal after deal. The Block Aero platform connects vetted organizations, assets, and records on one network, so trust is established once and recognized everywhere.
Better records change the economics of every deal
Each aviation transaction depends on records, and each party re-checks them at its own expense. That duplicated effort adds weeks of cost and risk. Anchoring asset identity, provenance, and transaction history in a blockchain-secured system removes the duplication.
Faster transactions
Verified records take the friction out of deals, lowering the cost and time of every transaction.
Compliance you can show
Safety and compliance records are cryptographically signed and instantly auditable.
Higher residual values
Complete, trusted documentation improves liquidity and protects value at every stage of ownership.
AI-ready data
Structured, dependable data that fuels AI, analytics, and fintech innovation across the industry.
Every party works from the same truth
Your assets move between operators, shops, lessors, and regulators every day, but each organization keeps its own version of the truth, and the gaps between those versions are where time and value disappear. The ABN puts airlines, MROs, OEMs, lessors, regulators, and recyclers on one permissioned network with clear roles and one shared record per asset.
Asset identity and lifecycle
Each asset is issued a unique Blockchain Aviation Asset (BAA) linking manufacturing, maintenance, ownership, and sustainability data.
Immutable records
Every transaction is cryptographically signed, timestamped, and permanently anchored for full auditability.
Permissioned participation
Only screened industry stakeholders can contribute or validate records, with role-based access for operators, lessors, OEMs, regulators, and service providers.
Organizational trust anchors
ORG records define who participates on the network: their accredited facilities, certificates held, and responsible managers.
Interoperability by design
Secure APIs integrate with OEM, MRO, ERP, finance, and regulatory systems for real-time synchronization.
Transaction enablement
The ABN serves as the settlement layer for escrow, financing, leasing, parts sales, and other fintech applications.
A tamper-proof passport for every asset
Assets outlive their owners, their operators, and the IT systems that hold their records, and every change of hands risks breaking the paper trail. So every aircraft, engine, and serialized component on the network is issued a Blockchain Aviation Asset (BAA): a digital passport that stays with it for life.
Lineage preserved
The complete back-to-birth chain of custody stays intact through every transfer, installation, and shop visit.
Records consolidated
Identity, certifications, and maintenance history live in one portable record instead of scattered systems.
Systems outlived
The passport persists through ownership changes, company closures, and IT migrations.
A common language for asset data
Everyone in aviation records the same facts, and everyone records them differently, which is why exchanging data still means spreadsheets and rework. The DSS defines one set of rules and schemas for how asset data is structured, validated, and exchanged. Human readable, machine ready, standards driven.
Asset profiles
Master data models for aircraft, engines, APUs, and serialized parts (MSN, ESN, and APU profiles), covering identity, type certificates, and states of design, manufacture, registry, and operation.
Roles and permissions
Every field carries a read and write matrix across organization roles. OEMs hold write authority for design data, regulators read all compliance, operators write usage and maintenance fields.
Documents and data blocks
Standardized on-chain records: ADs, service bulletins, installation and removal records, release and conformity certificates, non-incident statements. Portable, versioned, and traceable.
openAPI integration services
Connect the network to the places you do business. List assets on marketplaces such as ILS with immutable proof-of-ownership links, sync aviation ERP and M&E systems, and stream live data into every asset record, all governed by API access management in your organization account.
Know every counterparty, continuously
Certificates expire, companies change hands, and most verification happens once and goes stale. The ABN runs on a continuously screened Trust List (TL) of organizations, supported by a Trust Information List (TIL). Together they define trusted sources and data sharing mechanisms, aligned with the ICAO Trust Framework and backed by Block Aero's information security management system, certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by the Aviation Suppliers Association Certification Body (certificate BLOC-001-06-26-27).
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Trust List (TL) | Organizations that have passed KYC checks, validated against authoritative sources such as ICAO operator codes, the FAA Repair Station database, and the ASA accreditation list. Records include legal names, codes, certificates, and status. |
| Trust Information List (TIL) | Defines what information is exchanged on the network, and how. |
| Organization types | Network Authorities (regulators, OEMs, associations) and Network Members (airlines, MROs, lessors, distributors), each with distinct data responsibilities and permissions. |
| KYC screening | All organizations undergo Know Your Customer screening through trusted third-party tools, with ongoing rescreening for ownership changes, sanctions, or dissolution. |
| Public portal | Non-members can view a subset of Trust List data, including names, codes, websites, and certificates, to increase transparency and industry confidence. |
