FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (“FLYHT” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: FLY) (OTCQX: FLYLF) recently announced that its long-term OEM partner has engaged the Company to undertake engineering and design work on the technology that it licenses from FLYHT as part of its Airbus line fit satcom program. The refresh of the technology positions the two partners to extend the longevity of this successful program with Airbus.

“The request by our long-term OEM partner to refresh the modem design is the surest indication that the AFIRS 228S line fit program with Airbus remains strong,” commented Gurjot Bhullar, VP of Operations at FLYHT. “It is a reflection of the high quality of FLYHT’s product and their acceptance and reliance upon it. We have increased confidence that this revenue stream will continue well into the future.”
This technical services contract is valued at approximately $360,000 USD with work expected to be completed over the coming months.
