Amsterdam-based Aiir Innovations, a provider of AI-based software solutions for aircraft engine inspection, announced that it has raised €2.1M in an oversubscribed funding round.
Aiir Innovations says it will use the funds to grow its remote-first team and expand globally, and set a new standard for engine inspections.
Founded in 2016 by Bart Vredebregt, Miriam Huijser, Cassandra Loor, Fritjof Büttner, Steve Nowee, and Jan van Gemert, Aiir Innovations claims to make aircraft engine inspection faster, more efficient, and safer.
Aircraft engine examination consists of a visual inspection, which requires high concentration during the entire inspection.
In most cases, it is time-consuming and exhausting. This is where the Dutch company steps in.
The company has developed a software that mechanics can use during borescope inspections to detect anomalies like cracks and dents.
