Customer Feedback

• “FIRST is a key element to any fuel conservation initiative, it is the big “M”

within the PEMC framework – Plan, Execute, Measure, Correct. And the

system does it accurately and timely, always.

• The dash-board functionality gives the Operations Manager the right

information at the right time to make the best decisions. Now it is possible

to act, on the spot, using actual and unbiased data.

• Also, the “what-if” capacity is widely used in scenario analysis, my

company can discuss different operation scenarios and operation policies

with immediate calculation of potential savings, without the need to

perform special test flights or waiting for new flight data.

• FLYHT knowledge and flexibility to accommodate specific requirements is

remarkable and makes the AFIRS and FIRST solutions a “must have”

solution to the aviation companies engaged to be the most efficient as

possible in terms of fuel usage”

Iridium is more reliable and economical

• Exclusive distribution agreement with SkyBlue

Technologies (Gov’t owned)
