Luxaviation is extending the use of TrustFlight’s Centrik quality and safety management system. The business aviation services group announced its renewed commitment to the platform on Wednesday at Aero Friedrichshafen.
Centrik is now being used to support the 13 air operator certificates that Luxaviation holds worldwide. Under the new agreement with TrustFlight, it will now also use the technology for its network of 140 FBOs.
According to TrustFlight, the Centrik technology will help Luxaviation’s employees to manage operational risks in tasks including ground handling for passengers and aircraft, fueling, and maintenance. Luxaviation has been using the system since 2018 to coordinate safety management, regulatory compliance and operational processes for its aircraft charter and management activities for which it operates a fleet of around 220 aircraft.
“Centrik has become the heartbeat of our global safety and compliance strategy, fundamentally changing how we manage operational risk and regulatory alignment,” said Suzy Gautrey, Luxaviation’s group safety and compliance manager.
According to TrustFlight, the Centrik platform features regulation-driven checklists, real-time analytics, and integrated workflows.

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