+**Accelerating safe AI adoption in aviation through rigorous evaluation and benchmarking**
+
+## About Us
+
+Airside Labs is a specialised AI research and development company focused on aviation sector innovation. We help businesses validate AI performance and achieve product-market fit faster through comprehensive testing frameworks and domain-specific benchmarks.
+
+## Our Mission
+
+To bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities and safe, reliable deployment in aviation operations. We believe that proper evaluation is essential before AI systems can be trusted in business environments.
+
+## Key Projects
+
+### 🧪 Pre-flight Benchmark
+Our flagship aviation AI evaluation framework, accepted into the UK AI Security Institute's collection of evaluations. Pre-flight tests Large Language Models' understanding of aviation operations, safety protocols, and real-world constraints.
+
+- **Open Source**: Available for the entire aviation community
+- **Comprehensive**: Covers ICAO standards, airport operations, safety procedures
+- **Validated**: Developed with industry experts and regulatory input
+- **Evolving**: Continuously updated as AI models advance
+
+### 🎯 Domain-Specific Evaluations
+We create custom benchmarks that go beyond standard metrics to test:
+- Real-world operational understanding
+- Safety-related understanding and reasoning (not for safety critical deployment)
+- Regulatory compliance
+- Edge case handling
+
+## Why Aviation-Specific AI Evaluation Matters
+
+Aviation AI systems must understand:
+- Physical constraints (aircraft can't occupy the same gate)
+- Regulatory requirements (ICAO, FAA, EASA standards)
+- Safety protocols and emergency procedures
+- International operational complexity
+
+Generic benchmarks like MMLU miss these critical domain requirements.
+
+## Resources

+- **Working Group**: [Join our AI Aviation Evaluation Community](https://airsidelabs.com/ai-aviation-eval-working-group/)
+
+## Get Involved
+
+We're building a community of aviation professionals and AI researchers. Whether you're:
+- Developing AI for aviation applications
+- Working in airport/airline operations
+- Researching AI safety and evaluation
+- Building regulatory frameworks
+
+We'd love to collaborate!
