Canada Jetlines Ltd. (JET: TSX-V) (JETMF:
OTCQB) (the “
Company” or
“
Jetlines”) is pleased to provide an update on
recent operational developments related to Jetlines’ build out in
preparation for a targeted launch later this year.
Aircraft Maintenance and Preparation for
Delivery
Jetlines signed an agreement with AKKA
Technologies (AKA: EPA) for the paint livery engineering drawings,
stencils and placards. AKKA ranks as the European leader in
engineering consulting and R&D services in mobility and carries
a strong presence globally. AKKA is also accomplishing the cabin
interior reconfiguration Engineering through a direct contract with
the aircraft lessor.
Jetlines signed an agreement with Flightcraft
Maintenance Services Ltd. (“FMS”) in Winnipeg for the aircraft
reconfigurations. FMS has been engaged to install the 180 Passenger
configuration with new ACRO Series 3 Superlight ST+ seats, new
carpets and convert the cargo holds to bulk load configuration.
With over 20 years in the business, FMS has established itself
internationally as a reliable and consistent aircraft maintenance
and overhaul facility. FMS is Transport Canada and EASA certified,
and is internationally recognized as a leader in global
Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) services.
Jetlines has reached an agreement with TRAX, the
leading global provider of aviation maintenance mobile and cloud
products, for their maintenance software and services. TRAX has
become the best-selling aircraft fleet management software on the
market today by providing a robust suite of products and services
to over 170 customers worldwide. TRAX’s products provide the means
to manage and maintain all information generated and allows for
complete information flow with leading-edge tools for customization
that will enable Jetlines to maintain an efficient process and
tight cost control as a result.
Phil Larsen, VP Maintenance commented, “We are
very pleased to have these highly recognized suppliers working with
us for the launch of Jetlines. With AKKA Technologies doing the
engineering and kit provisioning, and Flightcraft accomplishing the
reconfiguration and maintenance, we can be assured a great
high-quality product.”
Integrated Flight Operations Software -
SysAIO
Jetlines also announces an agreement with SysAIO
Inc., a Canadian company that provides a series of high-end online
applications through a SaaS (software as a service) model. SysAIO
will be providing Jetlines with a cutting-edge online aviation
product, AvAIO (Aviation – All-In-One). AvAIO is an enterprise
level aviation system that provides cost-effective operations and
crewing solutions. SysAIO was selected by Jetlines for their
experience in working with start-ups and their abilities to meet
the challenging technical aspects of the aviation industry.
Jetlines selected SysAIO due the unique flexibility it provides,
allowing a smaller airline to customize the software to their
individual needs as it relates to crew scheduling, reporting tools,
and customization of the Safety Management System (SMS) modules,
rather than conforming to legacy systems that often prescribe
higher costs.
