Aviation experience
Pilots and airport people who know how a general aviation field actually runs day to day — the waitlist calls, the hangar shuffles, the board questions.
About us
Built by people who know the field
Beacon exists because general aviation airports deserve better than a spreadsheet and a shared inbox.
Our story
General aviation airports run on relationships — who called first, who moved up, who has been waiting three years for a T-hangar. Most airports track all of this data in a spreadsheet that only one person fully understands.
We started Beacon to put that work on solid ground: a clear, transparent hangar waitlist, tenant records airport staff can trust, and reporting a manager can hand to a board without rebuilding it by hand. The Hangar Waitlist is our first product, and it is the start of a broader airport management platform.
The team behind Beacon
Software and operations
A team that has spent years building tools for small groups carrying outsized operational responsibility, where clarity and an accurate audit trail matter more than features.
Built with airport managers
Every feature is shaped by the people doing the job. We spend our time at fields and in the code, not guessing at requirements.
