CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2023 / FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. ("FLYHT") (TSXV:FLY)(OTCQX:FLYLF) today announced that Air North, Yukon's Airline ("Air North") has agreed to purchase FLYHT's innovative hardware and software services as part of the Yukon airline's fleet renewal plans. The adoption of these solutions will provide Air North with enhanced aircraft communications and maximum operational efficiency and safety.
Per the agreement, FLYHT's AFIRS 228 Iridium SatCom and AFIRS EdgeTM solutions will be installed on Air North's Boeing 737 NG aircraft as it renews its B737 Classic fleet.
