FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. announced that Coral Jet has placed an initial order to become the launch customer for the AFIRS EdgeTM. The Edge will be added to Coral Jet's existing AFIRSTM satcom products, as previously announced on January 11, 2022. The AFIRS Edge is an aircraft interface device ("AID"), pushing aircraft data to EFB applications, providing airlines with Wireless Quick Access (WQAR) capabilities, all while serving as a gateway on the aircraft for critical real-time information and onboard data storage.

With powerful onboard analytics capabilities, the Edge leverages innovative technology to allow complex analytics to be developed and deployed more efficiently than conventional updates. The Edge also serves as a data port for the Actionable Intelligence services such as fuel management, aircraft health monitoring and real-time engine data reporting. These tools will help airlines recover from the pandemic while monitoring and reducing fuel burn and thereby greenhouse gas emissions.

FLYHT's development of the Edge as well as its suite of Actionable Intelligence tools was developed with repayable funding support from PrairiesCan through its Western Innovation Initiative. This contract is valued at approximately $100,000 over the five-year contract term, with potential for increase as Coral Jet's fleet grows.
