HANDLING SAFETY
Australian risk management company OneSafe has launched its handheld cloud computing application that offers real-time, live aviation safety information to the resource and mining sector. The risk management and compliance system gives instant updates on aviation risks via portable tablets and phone devices. The system was previously available to airlines. OneSafe director, and former Qantas Group general manager of safety, compliance and operational risk, Ron Bartsch, said the system revolutionises the way the aviation industry meets safety and regulatory obligations
MOSCOW GROWTH
Business aviation services provider Jet Aviation has signed an agreement with Vnukovo Invest, co-owner of Moscow's Vnukovo International airport, which allows the fixed-base operator to further expand at the Russian site. Development plans include the occupation of a new hangar, office space and storage at the capital's dedicated business aviation airport.
ECLIPSE CENTURY
Eclipse says its Avio IFMS completion programme has sold out up to March 2012 having secured more than 100 firm, non-refundable deposits for the package, which covers the installation of the integrated Avio flight management system in the Eclipse 500 very light jet. More than a dozen aircraft have already been delivered with the Avio IFMS, which includes dynamically calculated top of descent guidance, route navigation, holding patterns and procedure turns and integrated en-route e-charts overlaid on the moving map.
CHARTER PARTNERS
Air Partner and CitationAir have extended their block charter joint venture to include Europe and the Middle East. Customers who purchase 50h of flying time within North America and 10h within Europe or the Middle East can access aircraft through the Air Partner Private Jets programme.
