Flight Explorer, exhibiting at the ABACE show here in Shanghai for the first time, claims to offer much more than flight tracking, although that is one of the company’s core products. It can track aircraft equipped with Iridium satellite communications systems anywhere in the world, and provide a private feed of that data to customers who operate those aircraft. Flight Explorer (Booth H525) is a Sabre group company, and also provides flight tracking via global radar feeds of aircraft flying in airspace controlled by the U.S. FAA, the UK, Eurocontrol, Airservices Australia and Airways New Zealand.
To deliver flight tracking data to private customers with Iridium-equipped aircraft, Flight Explorer partners with service providers and equipment manufacturers, such as Arinc Direct, Satcom Direct, Flyht, Blue Sky Network, Latitude and Honeywell Sky Connect. In China, Flight Explorer does not yet have a business aviation customer, but the company hopes to develop relationships with local charter/management firms while here at the ABACE show.
