Overwatch AI, a Barcelona start-up founded in 2025 by former airline pilot Leo Kotil, builds Wingman, which answers pilots' and dispatchers' questions with source-cited references to official documents and live data.
It raised a 1.5 million US dollar pre-seed round in May 2026 from investors including United Airlines Ventures and Pegasus Airlines. Pegasus is also its design partner, testing Wingman in live operations; United is an investor only. Claims of multiple airline users and 30,000 flights a month are the company's own.

Pegasus Airlines was one of the first to deploy Overwatch AI's Wingman decision-support tool in real airline operations, Overwatch AI said in a May 2026 blog post, and is now a customer, design partner and investor. Pegasus Innovation Lab took part in the company's USD 1.5 million pre-seed round, Tech.eu reported on 20 May 2026.
AI-powered crew scheduling and disruption management platform for commercial airlines. Uses machine learning to optimise roster construction, manage fatigue compliance, and automate recovery decisions during operational disruptions such as delays, cancellations, and irregular operations.
Crew scheduling generates significant manual workload and disruption recovery decisions are slow, leading to cascading delays and regulatory fatigue violations.
