Dated, located, verifiable proof of aircraft condition, captured during the walkaround and pushback, without changing what your ramp agents already do.
Built by a former ramp agent (Le Bourget, Orly, Roissy).
Damage found after a tow or a walkaround almost always raises the same question: who caused what, and when? Between the ground handler and the operator, liability rests on photos and a movement chart whose exact date and place nobody can prove.
A phone photo carries an editable date and no proof of location. Accident investigators document real pushback damage, such as a broken towbar during refoulement. Without defensible proof, the conversation with the insurer or the client drags on.
This is not a minor issue. It drives your costs, your liability exposure and your image with the operators who trust you with their aircraft.

It is the gesture your agents already make during the walkaround and the tow. Danaya just makes it defensible, with no new habit and no app to install.
The agent opens the link
You send a capture link. The agent opens it on their phone, with no account and no install.
They capture live during the walkaround or the tow
Photos and videos are taken on the spot, never imported from the gallery.
The proof is sealed and publicly verifiable
A SHA-256 hash, GPS position and server timestamp are bound to the capture, with a link the insurer or client can verify.
Dated, located proof of condition before and after the job shrinks the grey area between handler and operator.
The public verification link stands on its own for an insurer or a client, without relying on your word.
The whole team captures the same way, on every sensitive movement, whoever the agent is.
The agent's name can appear in the seal, making it clear who observed what.
Towing a business jet from one stand to another: the agent seals the condition before the tow, then after positioning. If it is contested later, the before and after proof shows no impact at the time of the job, dated and located.
Walkaround on arrival and departure: every sensitive area is sealed in seconds. The aircraft record builds itself, movement after movement.
Danaya is built by a former ramp agent who worked on business and commercial aviation platforms (Le Bourget, Orly, Roissy). The tool starts from the ramp, not from a spreadsheet.
We show facts, not promises. No client logo is featured until there is one to show.
Create your first proof free and try the capture flow on a real movement.
The walkaround is the visual inspection of the aircraft carried out before and after a movement. It is the moment an impact, a scratch or a defect is noticed. Sealing that observation as it happens fixes the date, the place and the condition seen.
Tying the inspection to verifiable proof turns a ramp observation into something defensible, without slowing the agent down.
Pushback and towing move the aircraft from one point to another using a tug and a towbar, often with a headset agent coordinating. These phases concentrate a large share of ground damage.
Towing is especially common at business aviation platforms such as Le Bourget, Europe's leading business airport, where aircraft are moved between stands and hangars. At large commercial airports like Orly or Roissy it is rarer, but it happens.
According to IATA, more than 29,000 aircraft ground damage events were reported in 2025, and the annual cost of ground damage could approach $10 billion by 2035 if nothing changes. IATA also estimates that around $1 billion a year could be saved from 2025 through prevention.
Behind those figures sit liability disputes between ground handlers and operators, where the outcome often depends on the quality of the available proof.
IGOM (IATA Ground Operations Manual) is the global reference for ground operations. For business aviation, IBAC's IS-BAH (International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling) frames handling specifically. Danaya neither replaces nor certifies these standards: it documents the facts your procedures already ask you to observe.
