Built for aviation people, by aviation people.
Or to put it another way
Built for frustrated passengers,
by once frustrated passengers!
Passenger disruption during Wow Air days (at 3am!)
A quick background story
Plan3 is founded by Sveinn Akerlie, the former CIO at Wow Air, an Icelandic low cost carrier. During his time as CIO, Sveinn could not find a product on the market that took a passenger-first approach to disruption.
So, after the demise of Wow Air, Sveinn and some of the brightest minds from Wow Labs set out to build such a tool.
Today, that tool is transforming the disruption experience for passengers and airlines alike - that is Plan3!
Built in Iceland, used globally by
CX-focussed airlines.
AviLabs, the company behind Plan3, is based in beautiful Reykjavik, Iceland with remote members of the team in Spain, the Netherlands and Ireland.
As well as deep software development experience for the aviation sector, our team is made up of domain experts in passenger service systems (PSS), departure control systems (DCS), IOCC, big data analysis and airline disruption management design.
