What the company does
Volato Group was a private-jet operator; it now sells aviation software (Vaunt empty-leg subscription, Parslee AI document platform) and, after merging with Alignment Engine in September 2026, is building an AI data center (Ohio, 154 MW). The Yahoo label ('Airports') is outdated.

No data
Figures from the company's filings (2026-06-30), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 75.9% of total assets (2026-06-30). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
