First Air Leads the Industry With the Adoption of Automatically
Triggered Data Streaming
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Apr 15, 2014) - FLYHT Aerospace
Solutions Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:FLY) (the "Company" or "FLYHT") is
pleased to announce that its customer, First Air, is adding
FLYHTStream's™ automatically triggered, real-time data and live
black box streaming capability to its current fleet of B737, ATR
and B767 aircraft.
First Air operates throughout the Canadian Arctic in some of the
harshest conditions on earth, and as a result is continually
striving to find ways to improve the safety and operational
efficiency of the airline. Enabling FLYHTStream raises the standard
of tracking and automated alerting that is unsurpassed in the
industry.
Brock Friesen, President and CEO of First Air said, "FLYHT's
Automated Flight Information System (AFIRS™) ensures we have 100%
visibility on our aircraft at all times. We are proud to be
industry leaders in adopting the FLYHTStream capability to ensure
First Air has the highest level of operational awareness available
on any aircraft flying today. It is another important step in our
continual process of enhancing safety."
Vic Charlebois, VP of Flight Operations at First Air added,
"FLYHTStream will alert us when an aircraft needs assistance,
without distracting the crew from the primary task of flying the
aircraft safely. Financially, AFIRS has paid for itself by saving
First Air tens of thousands of dollars in flight management
expenses, and FLYHTStream is only an incremental cost that is
incurred when triggered, making the solution very cost
effective."
Matt Bradley, President of FLYHT said, "FLYHT is proud to work
with a team as passionate and committed to safety as First Air. It
is exceptional to see an airline be proactive to act immediately in
the interest of safety instead of waiting for a regulation. We are
pleased our patent pending FLYHTStream technology will be enabled
on the airline's entire fleet."
About First Air
It began with Canadian aviation pioneer, Russell (Russ) Bradley,
who started his pilot training centre and flying school in Ottawa
in 1946. From the outset, Russ proved an innovator. He and
legendary pilot and partner, Weldy Phipps, revolutionized Arctic
flying capability by developing the large balloon-like "tundra
tires" in response to the Geological Survey of Canada contract
awarded to Bradley Air Services in the late 1950s. Their growing
number of clients were no longer limited to where and when they
could land in the High Arctic.
In a few short decades, Bradley Air Services Ltd. has evolved to
become Canada's foremost Arctic and remote region air carrier,
operating under the trademark name - FIRST AIR. Today, First Air,
The Airline of the North, is owned by Makivik Corporation, the
organization responsible for administering the land claim
settlement of the Inuit of northern Quebec. Through a series of
prudent acquisitions over the years (Ptarmigan Airways and NWT
Air), First Air has expanded its fleet, its route system, and
already extensive range of air carrier capability.
The First Air name is recognized in the aviation business with
innovation and operational expertise for remote regions and unusual
or especially taxing environments. Our service-based approach and
extensive northern experience are two of the main reasons why First
Air planes and crews are a natural 'first choice', when it comes to
choosing an airline in Canada's Arctic.
