Airborne
Your flights, on autopilot — powered by AI.
Metafic designed and built Airborne, an AI flight companion in the spirit of Flighty and App in the Air — only smarter and friendlier. It analyzes over 100,000 flights a day to predict delays and gate changes before the airline does, then quietly handles the rest: checking you in, buying your insurance, booking your airport pickup, picking your seat and meal, and telling you the exact minute to leave for the gate.

Flying is the easy part. Everything around it isn't.
Between booking and boarding sits a pile of small stresses — did the gate change, when do I leave, am I checked in, should I buy insurance, how do I get there. Most flight apps just tell you the status and leave the rest to you.
Airborne does the work. Metafic designed and engineered it to be the calm, intelligent layer over your whole trip — predicting what's about to happen and acting on it before you have to, with an AI that's genuinely friendlier and faster than what's out there.
Flights analyzed every single day
Delays & gate changes, predicted early
Check-in, insurance & taxi, done for you
From booking to the baggage belt
It does your pre-flight for you.
Airborne's AI doesn't stop at tracking. It checks you in the second the window opens, books the ride that meets your plane, picks the best seat and meal, and watches the airport to tell you exactly when to leave — the busywork of flying, handled.
Automatic check-in
Airborne checks you in the second the window opens and drops your boarding pass straight into the app — no alarms, no scramble.
Insurance, in one tap
It offers the right travel insurance for the trip and buys it for you before you even think to — cover sorted, hassle skipped.
Airport pickup, booked
It requests a ride the moment your plane lands, timed to when you'll actually reach the curb — your car is waiting, not circling.
Best seat, best view
AI picks the seat with the best window view for your route and time of day — the right side of the plane for the sunset, every time.
The right meal to book
It recommends which in-flight meal to pre-order based on the airline, the route and your tastes — so you actually look forward to it.
Leave-now alerts
It watches traffic, security lines and your walk to the gate, then tells you the exact minute to leave — and when you should already be moving.
Everything a frequent flyer actually needs.
Live flight tracking
Real-time status across airline, airport and air-traffic feeds — where your plane is, where it's coming from, and what that means for you.
Delay & gate prediction
By analyzing over 100,000 flights a day, Airborne's AI flags delays and gate changes hours before the airline admits them.
Boarding passes & trips
Every pass, every trip, every airline in one place — organised, offline-ready and one tap from the scanner.
Airport guidance
Terminals, gates, belts and walk times mapped out, so you always know where you're going and how long it takes.
Trip insights
Your carbon footprint, a jet-lag predictor that plans your sleep, and a record of every mile you've flown.
Live activities & widgets
Lock-screen live updates and home-screen widgets keep the next move in view — even on messaging-only plane wifi.
Dark, sharp and unmistakably Airborne.
One flight card, every mood.
A single flexible card component, themed for every context — neon, glass, light, dark, and clear on-time and delayed states — so the same flight reads perfectly on a widget, a lock screen or deep in the app.
AI-accelerated engineering, subscription-grade design.
Engineered with Metafic.ai Pods
Airborne was built end-to-end by Metafic.ai delivery Pods — AI-accelerated squads pairing senior engineers with an agentic build pipeline. From the 100,000-flights-a-day prediction engine to the automatic check-in, insurance and ride-booking agents, the app shipped in a fraction of the usual time.

Our subscription design team gave Airborne a bold, confident identity — a dark canvas, a neon signature colour, oversized type for times and gates — and a flexible card system that stays legible from a glance at a widget to a deep dive into a trip.
