AIXI’s first executive hire from outside its founding team brings a decade of commercial aviation leadership.

RALEIGH, N.C., August 20, 2026 — AIXI, a developer of AI-enabled solutions for aviation reliability and asset uptime, today announced that John Bowell has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer. Bowell’s appointment is AIXI’s first executive hire from outside its founding team, a milestone the company points to as an early signal of its next phase of growth.

Bowell joins AIXI after more than a decade at flydocs, where he most recently served in various roles, EVP of Engineering, Board Member, and most recently as Chief Commercial Officer. In that role, he built a unified sales, marketing, and client success model that brought roughly one-third of the global commercial aircraft market into the flydocs platform. He also founded and scaled flydocs’ Digital Engineering Services division, delivering 25% year-over-year growth through data-led maintenance and asset management solutions.

“John has the background and expertise we wanted for this new role. He’s lived the problems aviation is facing and spent a career turning that experience into commercial results,” said Cameron Byrd, Founder and CEO of AIXI. “John understands aviation from the inside and can help decipher pain points. He shares our conviction that the industry’s next breakthrough isn’t more data. It’s cleaning, making sense of, and using the data airlines already have.”

Bowell said the move reflects a belief he has developed over 25 years of watching aviation invest in digitization – first building Systems of Record for maintenance, operations and compliance, then Systems of Insight for analytics and reporting. “Today, we have more data than ever before. But data isn’t the problem anymore. Understanding is,” Bowell said. “I believe the next evolution is creating a useful System of Intelligence that sits alongside today’s technology, connecting information, organizational knowledge, and human expertise to help people make better decisions. That’s exactly what attracted me to AIXI.”

AIXI is not seeking to replace existing systems or the people who use them, but to help the industry unlock more value from the data, technology and expertise it already has. Bowell will lead AIXI’s go-to-market strategy as the company works with airlines, MROs, lessors, and OEMs to bring that vision to market.

MRX Systems – Working for the Aircraft, Not the Software

Digitalization has transformed aircraft maintenance. Paper job cards have become electronic, records are increasingly digital, and information can now move almost instantly between the hangar, engineering and administration.

But replacing paper with a screen does not necessarily make maintenance more efficient.

For technicians, digitalization can sometimes create a different kind of administrative burden: navigating through multiple screens, searching for information, entering data already available elsewhere or switching between applications to complete a task.

Individually, these interactions may only take seconds. Across hundreds of job cards, several technicians and an entire maintenance visit, they add up. The process may be digital, but the friction remains.

This raises a simple question: should technicians adapt the way they work to the software, or should the software adapt to the way maintenance is performed?

From digital processes to better workflows

The first stage of digital transformation was about replacing paper. The next is about reducing unnecessary interaction with the system.

Information should be captured where the work happens. A finding identified during an inspection can be recorded immediately with a photograph. A completed task can be signed directly from the hangar floor. Parts and materials used during maintenance can become part of the same digital workflow.

The technician enters information once, when it naturally occurs, and the system makes it useful elsewhere.

This principle is at the heart of Blue MRO by MRX Systems. The Job Card page brings together everything technicians need to perform and record their work: task information and actions, related technical documents, findings, parts and signatures. Documents associated with the Job Card can be accessed directly from the same page and, when required, updated from the tablet without leaving the workflow.

Blue MRO also records the time spent on each task and the technician’s experience as the work is performed. The information entered throughout the maintenance visit therefore becomes part of the maintenance record without creating an additional reporting workload.

At the end of the process, the Work Report is automatically generated from the information recorded during execution. Instead of reconstructing the maintenance history afterwards, the documentation is progressively built as the work happens.

Technology that stays in the background

Technicians are not there to operate MRO software. They are there to maintain aircraft. Technology should support that work without adding unnecessary steps between the technician and the task at hand.

This is the approach behind Blue MRO. By keeping the Job Card at the centre of the technician’s workflow, MRX Systems brings together the information, documents and actions required to perform the work, while capturing the data needed for traceability and reporting along the way.

The result is a digital workflow designed not simply to replace paper, but to reduce the administrative effort surrounding maintenance. From task execution on the hangar floor to the automatic generation of the final Work Report, Blue MRO is designed around one principle: let technicians focus on the aircraft, while the software takes care of the rest.
