Airbus and its recently acquired flight-planning company Navtech have formed a new company—NavBlue—to provide flight operations and air traffic management (ATM) services. NavBlue is positioned within the Airbus services business unit.

Laurent Martinez, senior vice-president of Airbus Services, and Navtech head Mike Hulley unveiled the new company Tuesday here at the Farnborough Airshow. Airbus (Outdoor Exhibit 13 & 25) acquired Waterloo, Canada-based Navtech in March. Hulley is now president and CEO of NavBlue, which operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus.
