Digital NOTAM for Civil Aviation Authorities
Digital NOTAM, without changing how your NOTAM office works.
The Notamify engine converts the NOTAMs your authority already publishes into structured, machine-readable Digital NOTAM data. Origination, validation, approval, and publication stay exactly as they are today.
Proven at scale
The engine is not a prototype
The digitalization layer we offer authorities is the same engine that runs Notamify in production. It processes the global NOTAM stream continuously, and its data models are grounded in the patterns of millions of real notices, not a handful of handpicked examples.
How it works
A digitalization layer, not a migration
Most Digital NOTAM programs stall because they ask the NOTAM office to change first. We invert that: the workflow you trust keeps running, and the digitalization happens downstream.
You keep publishing as you do today
Origination, validation, approval, and publication stay with your NOTAM office, on the systems and procedures it already trusts. No new origination tools, no retraining, no parallel process to maintain.
The Notamify engine digitalizes every notice
Issued or draft NOTAMs flow into the engine, which extracts the affected object, identifier, effect, schedule, conditions, exceptions, and change values. The original text is preserved unchanged next to the structured data.
Downstream systems receive structured data
ANSPs, airlines, airports, and software vendors consume machine-readable, AIXM-compatible outputs through the Notamify API instead of re-parsing raw NOTAM text on their own.
The data model
From published text to typed aeronautical data
A declared-distance change stops being prose. The runway stays the affected object, and each value (TORA, TODA, ASDA) becomes a typed change with its raw string, normalized value, and unit. Downstream systems can compute with it directly.
This is Affected Elements V2, the same schema that powers Notamify briefings, alerts, and the API. Effects are never softened, applicability is captured as conditions and exceptions, and the original text is always preserved.

}Why authorities choose this approach
Institutional procedures stay. The data gets better.
CAA NOTAM digitalization works when it respects how an authority operates: regulatory controls, human review, and the published record all stay in place.
Existing methods retained
The digitalization layer sits downstream of your NOTAM office. Your origination, validation, approval, and publication process stays exactly as it is.
Human review preserved
Nothing bypasses your review or regulatory controls. Structured outputs are derived from the NOTAMs your office has already approved and published.
Original text always kept
Every structured element stays linked to the exact published NOTAM text, so audits, cross-checks, and legal traceability remain simple.
AIXM-compatible outputs
Outputs follow the Digital NOTAM and AIXM direction, so the information your authority publishes is ready for the next generation of aeronautical systems.
Proven at production scale
The same engine has processed millions of NOTAMs globally and powers Notamify briefings, alerts, and the API in production every day.
Pilot first, then scale
Start with a sample of your published NOTAMs, review the structured output quality with your team, and scale only when the results hold up.
FAQ
Common questions from authorities
For the broader consulting offer, covering workflow audits, AIXM integration planning, and briefing design, see Notamify Consulting.
- Do we need to change how our NOTAM office works?
- No. That is the core of the approach. Your authority keeps its existing origination, validation, approval, and publication methods. Notamify adds a digitalization layer that converts the NOTAMs that workflow already produces into structured, machine-readable data.
- What does the engine produce for each NOTAM?
- Structured affected elements: the affected object and its identifier, the operational effect, schedules, conditions, exceptions, and typed change values, alongside the preserved original text. The data is delivered as machine-readable, AIXM-compatible outputs via API and exports.
- Does this replace our AIS or AIM systems?
- No. It complements them. The digitalization layer consumes what your existing systems publish and produces structured outputs for downstream consumers. Nothing in your current toolchain has to be replaced first.
- Is human review preserved?
- Yes. Structured outputs are derived from NOTAMs your office has already reviewed and approved. The layer does not originate, modify, or bypass any notice, and the original text always remains the authoritative record.
- Do we need AIXM expertise before starting?
- No. Some authorities come with mature AIXM plans, others are starting from traditional NOTAM publication. We help assess where structured AIXM data belongs in your architecture as part of the engagement.
- How does a pilot work?
- We start from a sample of your published NOTAMs and return structured outputs for your team to review. From there, the engagement follows assessment, design, pilot, and scale phases, with measurable criteria agreed before rollout.
- Who can consume the digitalized data?
- ANSPs, airlines, dispatch providers, airports, and aviation software teams, through the Notamify API v2 and SDK. These are the same structures that power Notamify briefings, alerts, and filtering in production.
Next step
Bring Digital NOTAM to your authority without disrupting your NOTAM office.
A short briefing is enough to map your current publication flow, agree on a sample of NOTAMs, and show you the structured output your data would produce. From there, you decide whether to pilot.
