FLYHT signs first Chinese customer for data services

FLYHT Aerospace Solutions has launched real-time data services in the People’s Republic of China. The undisclosed airline is the first Chinese customer to select data services provided by the Automated Flight Information Reporting System (AFIRS) on its fleet of CRJ-900 aircraft. This Chinese operator receives their new aircraft with AFIRS already installed from Bombardier as a line-fit option. The aggregate data services revenue on this contract is initially valued at US$1,050,000 assuming FLYHT provides services over the full term of the five year agreement.The announced contract value is based upon the current in-service quantity of AFIRS-enabled Bombardier CRJ aircraft and an initial set of enabled data services provided by FLYHT’s cloud-based UpTime™ products. The airline may add more aircraft to its operations in the future and may request that FLYHT provide these services to the additional aircraft as they join the airline’s fleet, further increasing the value of the service contract.
