Flair Airlines and FLYHT Partner for Fuel Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions-related Hardware and Services

Flair Orders AFIRS Edge Hardware and SaaS Services for its Entire Fleet of Boeing 737-8 MAX Aircraft

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / June 26, 2023 / June 26, 2023 / Today, Flair Airlines, Canada's leading independent ultra-low-cost airline, and FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (TSXV:FLY)(OTCQX:FLYLF), an aerospace technology company, announced an agreement for the purchase of FLYHT's innovative hardware and services. FLYHT will enable Flair to closely monitor its fuel and greenhouse gas emissions for every phase of flight operations, including when an aircraft is at the gate, taxiing, at idle, during takeoff and at cruise. The data allows Flair to find opportunities to increase fuel efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint on its fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

The two companies are headquartered in Alberta, Canada, with Flair headquartered in Edmonton, and FLYHT headquartered in Calgary. Flair Airlines serves dozens of cities across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico with an ultra-low-cost model and an expanding fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

"Flair is Canada's greenest airline, and so we are excited to initiate this program with FLYHT, whose AFIRS Edge suite of products support our greenhouse gas emissions tracking and aggressive reductions targets," said Stephen Jones, President and CEO of Flair Airlines. "We're proud to support a fellow Albertan aerospace company, headquartered in Calgary, which is a new base of operations for us and one of increasing importance. We also look forward to realizing benefits from the resulting improvements in operational insight and efficiencies in both customer service and on time performance."

"This order is a significant milestone for FLYHT as we have now formally begun to commercialize our innovative 5G-enabled AFIRS Edge solution," said Kent Jacobs, President and Interim CEO of FLYHT. "We look forward to supporting Flair Airlines as they seek to take full advantage of the power of our real-time data solutions to support their decision making."

This is the first agreement for FLYHT's AFIRS Edge product to be installed on a Boeing 737 Max aircraft. The AFIRS Edge is an industry-first, 5G-enabled, wireless quick access recorder, which transmits data on the ground through cellular networks. The AFIRS Edge also provides aircraft interface device functionality and allows for remote system configuration and health management as well as over-the-air updates.
