Frumtak Ventures leads 8M EUR investment in Avilabs

As airlines continue to seek solutions to disruptions that impact more than 150 million passengers a year, Frumtak Ventures –with backing from existing investor Brunnur Ventures – has led an €8 million investment in AviLabs whose technology Plan3 is redefining how airlines handle these challenges.

With airline disruptions causing an estimated €60 billion in operational costs and negative press each year, the demand for scalable, automated solutions like Plan3 has never been more urgent.

“The aviation industry is at a crossroads with legacy systems ripe for digital transformation, and Plan3 is perfectly poised to become a category leader in reshaping how airlines manage disruption and improve their bottom line. We believe their technology will not only transform the passenger experience but will also drive operational efficiency and cost savings across the sector.” – Andri HeiĂ°ar Kristinsson, General Partner, Frumtak Ventures

“Our continued investment in AviLabs is a testament to their strategic vision and the tangible results they’ve delivered in a short span. The future of airline disruption management is in automation and personalization, and Plan3 is leading that charge.” – Sigurdur Arnljotsson, Founding Partner, Brunnur Ventures

With their recent successful launch of airline industry summit, Grounded – where more than 30 airlines (representing 20% of the world’s passengers) convened in Reykjavik for two days of discussions, workshops, and networking – Plan3 continues to cement their position as the industry authority on passenger disruption management and a trusted partner for airlines globally.

“We’re delighted with this investment. Every airline is looking for effective solutions to mitigate the impact of disruptions – delays, missed connections, cancellations – on the passenger experience that are both efficient and economical. Plan3 is that solution, and we’re thankful to VCs Frumtak and Brunnur for partnering with us, recognizing the need and opportunity in the aviation industry right now.”  – Sveinn Akerlie, Founder and CEO, Plan3
