Thierry Dubois is a freelance writer specializing in helicopters, business aviation and aerospace technology. He earned a degree in fluid dynamics from an engineering school in Toulouse, France in the mid-1990s. At an unexpected crossroads, he found his first job in journalism. In 1997, he started working for French aerospace weekly Air &amp; Cosmos in Paris. This lasted until 2000, when he moved south to Lyons. He then became a freelancer, working for various aerospace publications and has been part of the AIN team since late 2000. In addition to writing about business aviation, Thierry shares responsibility for the rotorcraft section. He also is a regular on-site writer for AIN’s daily editions at international airshows such as the Paris, Farnborough, Dubai and Singapore shows, as well as at EBACE in Geneva.
In 2007, he won the Honeywell award for “Best systems or technology submission” at the Aerospace journalist of the year awards. In 2013, he won an Aerospace Media Award for the "Best Safety, Training &amp; Simulation Submission."
In other activities, Thierry moderates international conferences on aviation technology topics. Thierry is married and has three children, who seem to begin enjoying the mountains–as their parents do.

Dubai-based trip support specialist United Aviation Services (UAS, Booth 371) is here giving live demos of its new Trip Management System (TMS). TMS is “a web-based and mobile trip management application” that will give customers real-time access to UAS’s range of business aviation services. For example, customers will be able to track, in real time, the status of their flights and service requests. They will also have access to handling and fuel confirmations.


Instead of having to make separate phone calls or emails to separate teams for elements like permits, fuel or flight itineraries, customers can use TMS to receive the same level of information as UAS’s operations team. “It’s like having a full operations team right in your phone,” said UAS co-owner and executive president Mohammed Husary.


TMS will be available for free, online and as an app for iPhones, Android and BlackBerry smartphones. Beta testing was completed at the end of last year but release to customers has been postponed to the third quarter of 2013.


UAS has a network of partners, vendors and representatives across the globe. It has offices in Mali, Ethiopia and Kyrgyzstan to manage stations in those regions. It has now opened an office in the U.S. and plans to seek development and growth opportunities elsewhere.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
