Kleinsasser's project aims to close the gap in the data-driven business intelligence tools available between small and large aviation businesses.

Business aircraft maintenance program provider JSSI, in partnership with the International Aircraft Dealers Association’s (IADA) Foundation, has awarded its first JSSI Innovation Grant to Tyler Kleinsasser, a student at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology.

The $5,000 prize—presented last month at the IADA Fall Meeting in Las Vegas—is intended to recognize “outstanding innovation and entrepreneurship” among college students who are pursuing concepts that could improve the future of business aviation.
