aiOla – a Gold Sponsor of FTE Global, the “CES of Aviation” taking place in Long Beach, California, on 9 to 11 September 2025 – is building the future of enterprise operations by making voice the natural interface for work. In this interview, Amir Haramaty, Co-founder & President, shares how aiOla is the architect behind the “Voice-First Enterprise”.

From the airline side, we’re optimising everything from ground operations and maintenance checks to pilot debriefs and cabin crew reporting. For airports, we enhance baggage handling, ramp operations, security checks, and facility management. Imagine a mechanic on the tarmac confirming a repair hands-free, or a ground crew member logging a critical incident with just their voice. We’re directly improving efficiency, safety, and compliance by ensuring every crucial spoken detail is immediately captured and put to work.”
FTE Global: “The perfect environment to showcase truly transformative technologies”
aiOla has clear strategic goals for its participation at FTE Global:
- Educate & Inspire: “We want to demonstrate to the industry how Voice AI is no longer a futuristic concept but a tangible, deployable solution that delivers immediate ROI in air transport.”
- Forge Key Partnerships: “We aim to connect with airlines, airports, system integrators, and technology providers who are ready to embrace the next generation of operational efficiency.”
- Showcase Leadership: “As pioneers in enterprise Voice AI, FTE Global provides a premier platform to reinforce our position as the go-to solution for high-stakes, jargon-heavy environments like aviation. We want to underline that the ‘AI Factory’ vision, as articulated by Jensen Huang, is very much here, and voice is its key interface on the frontline.”
“Our decision to be a Gold Sponsor at FTE Global 2025 stems from a deep alignment with FTE’s vision for future travel experiences,” says Haramaty. “FTE consistently brings together the forward-thinkers and decision-makers in aviation, creating the perfect environment to showcase truly transformative technologies.”
As well as being a Gold Sponsor, aiOla is exhibiting at FTE Global, where attendees can expect a truly immersive and eye-opening experience that will change how they think about operational data. “We’re particularly excited to demonstrate how Voice AI fundamentally transforms manual operations across various aviation use cases,” Haramaty shares.
Indeed, at the aiOla booth, visitors will see live demos showcasing:
- Hands-Free Safety Reporting: Witness how frontline teams, like ground crew or maintenance staff, can complete complex safety reports using natural speech, in any language, even amidst background noise, with zero typing. This directly translates spoken observations into structured data for immediate analysis.
- Real-time Maintenance Logging: See mechanics update work orders and log detailed observations using their voice, ensuring precision and compliance without breaking focus from their task.
- Operational Dispatch & Updates: Experience how voice commands can streamline ground operations, flight departures, and personnel coordination.
“We’ll be highlighting our Jargonic foundation ASR model, which significantly outperforms conventional ASR systems in understanding industry-specific terminology and noisy environments,” Haramaty explains. “This isn’t just about cool tech; it’s about showing how voice AI delivers tangible business value by making operations safer, faster, and more data-rich. Expect to see AI that works where real work is happening, not in a lab or an office, but right on the tarmac, in the hangar, or at the gate.”
United Airlines Ventures joins aiOla as a strategic investor
aiOla has had an incredibly dynamic year. The biggest news is its recent announcement that United Airlines Ventures has joined aiOla as a strategic investor. “This is a powerful validation of our technology’s impact and our vision for voice-first operations within aviation and beyond,” says Haramaty. “United Airlines is already leveraging aiOla to enhance safety and efficiency across their complex operations, proving the real-world value of purpose-built Voice AI. Adding to that, we were incredibly honoured that Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, highlighted aiOla during his global GTC Paris keynote, featuring us as a crucial layer of the AI Factory vision. This global recognition underscores the significance of our work.”
Furthermore, in April, aiOla launched its Jargonic foundation ASR model. “This model truly outperforms all other players in accuracy for specialised domains and multilingual workforces, enabling us to create highly effective, dedicated Voice AI use cases for aviation operations,” Haramaty explains. “We’re deploying these with airlines and airports for everything from ground operations management to comprehensive safety reporting, efficient maintenance, and streamlined flight dispatch and more. These innovations ensure that critical verbal data is captured, structured, and utilised instantly, where it matters most.”
Voice AI: redefining operational efficiency and human-machine interaction in aviation
Looking ahead, Haramaty is eager to participate at FTE Global – the “CES of Aviation” taking place in Long Beach, California, on 9 to 11 September 2025. “What we value most about FTE events is their unique ability to bring together the entire aviation ecosystem under one roof,” says Haramaty. “It’s not just about showcasing technology; it’s about fostering collaboration between airlines, airports, tech innovators, and industry leaders to shape the future of air travel. This collaborative spirit is essential for driving real change. At this year’s FTE Global, I’m particularly excited about the palpable sense of urgency and openness to innovation. The industry recognises the need to accelerate digital transformation, and we’re seeing a genuine eagerness to adopt cutting-edge AI solutions. We’re thrilled to be at the heart of these discussions, demonstrating how Voice AI is not just another tech trend, but a fundamental shift that will redefine operational efficiency and human-machine interaction in aviation.”
The aiOla team will be present at booth D8. Haramaty encourages everyone to stop by – whether you have a specific operational challenge in mind, or you’re just curious about the power of Voice AI. “We’ll have live demos running, and our experts will be ready to deep-dive into how aiOla can specifically benefit your organisation. Our message to attendees is simple: the voice is on us! Come experience how truly hands-free, intelligent voice AI automation can transform your operations. Don’t just hear about the future of aviation; speak to it. We look forward to welcoming you and exploring how we can build a more efficient, safer, and voice-first future, together.”
