Built in Operations. Proven at Scale.
WinOps was built to run an airline, not to sell software. Founded in Switzerland in 2004, it has been the operational backbone of a complex European carrier for more than two decades.
Who We Are & What We Stand For
WinOps was built inside an airline. For more than two decades it has served as the operational backbone of a European regional carrier flying scheduled services, ACMI and wet-lease operations across multiple aircraft types.
Every release, every feature and every architectural decision has been validated in live airline operations, not in a demonstration environment. Airlines partnering with WinOps are not adopting a new product; they are implementing a platform refined through decades of real-world use.
Developed by CBL Electronics AG, WinOps today operates from two offices - Zurich, Switzerland and A Coruña, Spain - with a team of 10+ across engineering, operations and customer success.
“WinOps didn't build its customer base by selling software. We built it by operating an airline for twenty years, and developing the tools we needed ourselves.”
Two Decades in Live Operation
WinOps grew inside a running airline operation before it became a product. Every capability was shaped by real disruptions, real audits and real operational pressure at airline scale, and refined continuously over twenty years.
