Aerospace Innovation reports on FLYHT’s Successful Edge Integration with Air North

FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. today announced the successful integration of the Company's industry leading 5G AFIRS EdgeTM solution with Air North, Yukon's Airline into their Boeing 737 NG operations bringing efficiencies such as automated post-flight data download for their flight safety program, Aircraft Interface Device (AID) functionality to connect the pilots to key aircraft data, and power over Ethernet to charge iPads to enhance cockpit crew operation.

FLYHT's AFIRS 228 Iridium SatCom will power Air North's real-time access to FLYHTHealth™, FLYHTLog™, aircraft tracking, and voice services, while the Edge provides reports on aircraft system health and flight data downloads. Per the agreement signed in October 2023, Air North has agreed to purchase FLYHT's innovative hardware and software services as part of the Yukon airline's fleet renewal plans. In June 2024, Air North was the STC partner on Boeing 737 NG aircraft for the AFIRS Edge.

"The commencement of Edge 5G data transfer operations at Air North validates the technology that we have pioneered with the flange version of the Edge," commented Derek Taylor, Vice President of Strategic Opportunities at FLYHT. "Air North has been our trusted STC partner, and we are excited to provide them with wireless access to their aircraft data." Joe Sparling, Air North's President and CEO, said, "The next generation technology provided by the Edge allows us to meet our goals to improve connectivity and realize greater operational efficiencies. We look forward to installing the solution on additional aircraft as we modernize our B737 Classic fleet."
