A sector built
on digital backbones.

Modern airlines run on integrated digital systems — 24×7, regulated, operationally critical. Voucher and refund engines, lounge access, maintenance ops, technical logs, safety reporting, in-flight services. Each domain is its own discipline. Each one is built on legacy that someone has to digitize without breaking.

That's where KIS works. Nine OutSystems projects with a single flagship customer across eight years, each one a different airline domain, each one in production.

One flagship customer.
Eight years. Nine systems.

TAP Air Portugal is the through-line of our aviation IP. From the OutSystems factory governance role through individual product builds, we've been there.

Air Vouchers — Pandemic Voucher System

Challenge

16 voucher services scattered across departments — all manual, all overwhelmed when COVID grounded global air travel. The airline needed to process months of work in days.

Approach

Unified all 16 services into a single platform. Integrated directly with accounting and customer-service core systems. Replaced manual handling with a fully digital, self-service flow.

Veriflight — Airport Lounge Check-in

Challenge

Premium lounges only work when entry is fast. 20–30 minutes of queueing kills the whole proposition. Validation had to be instant — across boarding-pass formats and frequent-flyer card variants from every airline.

Approach

Software that scans boarding passes (IATA-standard) and frequent-flyer cards (every variant) at lounge entrances in Lisbon & Funchal. Live invoicing between lounges and airlines, fraud prevention by design.

Check-in Time — Plane Inspection Workflow

Challenge

Maintenance crews had 40 to 60 minutes between flights to inspect a plane. Paper checklists, late gate changes, and hand-offs back to managers ate that budget — and any delay risked the next flight.

Approach

Mobile app on shock-resistant phones — real-time inspection checklist, live location of the plane, push to mechanics with task and timing, instant escalation to managers if a part replacement was needed.

What aviation taught us.

01
Operational backbones first
Every airline system has to keep flights moving. Reliability and traceability come before features.
02
Regulatory by default
Audit trails, e-signatures, retention policies — built in, not retrofitted.
03
Multi-channel UX
Same system on phones for crew, tablets for ground ops, desktops for back-office. OutSystems carries this cleanly.
04
Legacy integration
Airlines run on decades-old systems. New platforms have to talk to them gracefully, not replace them overnight.
