SkyNet Satellite Communications Inc. announce the continuation of contracted air safety services to Bristow Group Inc. with the expansion of their Aeronautical Information System (AIS).

SkyNet’s Aeronautical Information System (AIS) is built with significant customer input from global helicopter operations managers, airline CEOs, fixed- and rotary-wing pilots, and aircraft maintenance engineers. “AIS cuts through the information clutter to provide clear and concise flight data about your operations, allowing you to focus on what is important” said Jon Davis, President of SkyNet Satellite Communications Inc.

SkyNet AIS incorporates real-time management of aircraft availability, flight plans, operational status, maintenance status, as well as providing defined alerts to designated Smartphones for potential altitude variations, excessive vertical descents, breaching of inclusion or exclusion zones and aircraft emergencies, across the globe.

By integrating AIS, you immediately gain the best way to manage your entire fleet in real time, and at the same time provide your staff and flight operations with vital traffic and safety information.

Bristow is the world’s largest and safest provider of helicopter transport services, with the first civil helicopter transport company to work in the oil and gas industry. Bristow today is the leading provider of helicopter transportation services to the global offshore energy industry.

Steve Sidney, Bristow Group Chief Information Officer said “Our commitment to safety and our Target Zero program means we are constantly looking for improvement opportunities. Standardizing our global flight management is another positive step in the delivery of excellent and safe services for our customers”.

SkyNet’s AIS is more than just a dot on a map, it provides real time flight management information that helps reduce flight times, fuel costs, diversions and delays, as well as provide increased safety of your fleet. Said Jon Davis, “This continuation of services provided to Bristow not only increases our commitment to provide the best Flight Management Systems to the aviation industry, but shows the trust and commitment to safety that Bristow recognise”.
