The Esri Aeronautical Solution is a data-driven GIS-based enterprise platform for managing aeronautical data and rapidly producing high-quality charts that adhere to industry and organization-specific requirements. The Solution features a fully compliant and user extensible AIXM geodatabase supported by a robust suite of AIXM compliant import and export tools. This allows seamless integration with the European AIS Database (EAD) and your existing procedure design and Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) applications capable of working with AIXM data.

Built upon the world’s leading GIS platform, ArcGIS, the Esri Aeronautical Solution provides new opportunities to leverage your aeronautical data within your organization and across your user community. Using a standards-based service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach and out of the box applications you can easily deploy content and applications to mobile devices, rich web clients or to a secure cloud-based collaboration portal such as ArcGIS.com. Esri also supports robust development platforms such as Flex, Silverlight, JavaScript, iOS, and Android allowing you to develop custom applications specific to your unique business requirements. Only the Esri Aeronautical Solution provides a complete GIS-based enterprise solution for aeronautical data management.
