# Aerostrat

> Aerostrat is a Seattle aviation-software company whose Aerros platform helps airlines, cargo carriers, and maintenance organizations build long-range heavy-maintenance schedules, test scenarios, allocate hangar and labor capacity, and publish one operational plan across stakeholders. Founded in 2015 by Elliot Margul, Cody Morris, and Frankie Angai, the company found its wedge above rather than in place of existing maintenance ERPs. AAR acquired Aerostrat in August 2025 for $15 million plus up to $5 million in contingent consideration, pairing Aerros with its Trax maintenance software suite while keeping Aerros available across ERP platforms.
