CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2024 / FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. ("FLYHT" or the "Company") (TSXV:FLY)(OTCQX:FLYLF) today announced the successful integration of the Company's industry leading 5G AFIRS Edge^TM 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.

"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 of FLYHT. "Air North has been our trusted STC partner, and we are excited to provide them with wireless access to their aircraft data."
