We Are Akila, the SMS Solution Built by and for Aviation Professionals
Akila is a Safety Management System (SMS), designed as a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, for aviation professionals to manage and actively ensure the safety of their operations.
Developed in Canada in 2019, Akila was born from a simple observation: aviation professionals needed an all-in-one, intuitive, and modern tool to efficiently handle SMS, simplify quality assurance, and optimize their operational processes.
Akila’s mission is to support airports, airport groups, and airlines as they transition to streamlined SMS management. Our solution is designed for SMS managers looking for simplicity, effectiveness, and strict regulatory compliance. Above all, Akila is a tool that aims to strengthen, monitor and continuously enhance safety within aviation organizations.
Where Aviation Expertise Meets Software Innovation
Akila was born from a collaboration between Octant Aviation, a consulting firm specializing in aviation, and Uzinakod, a software development company known for its technical expertise.
This partnership started with a clear insight: many SMS managers were relying on Excel spreadsheets and paper forms to manage safety programs and compliance, lacking a structured framework and streamlined process. Facing a shortage of dedicated SMS management tools, they combined their expertise to create a platform built around the real operational needs of SMS managers. The result is an easy-to-use solution that ensures regulatory compliance and improves operational efficiency across aviation organizations.

Based in Montreal, Canada, Octant Aviation is a consulting firm specializing in air transport. Experts in audit, advisory, and service management for airports and air carriers, their team understands the regulatory, operational, and financial challenges of the industry.
Octant’s field experience revealed a common pain point across aviation: SMS was still being managed with spreadsheets, making consistency and compliance difficult to achieve. Addressing that challenge became the starting point for Akila.
