Charter and Go has integrated satellite-based flight tracking from Spire Aviation directly into its charter management platform, providing operators with enhanced aircraft visibility in remote areas where traditional radar coverage is limited.
The partnership leverages Spire’s LEMUR satellite constellation to deliver real-time ADS-B tracking data that automatically populates Charter and Go’s flight logs, pilot records, and maintenance tracking systems. Combining satellite and ground-based data sources, the integration provides comprehensive global coverage, including remote locations and oceanic regions traditionally beyond radar reach.
Charter operators using the integrated system receive live flight insights and enhanced situational awareness across their entire fleet operations. Satellite data flows directly into existing Charter and Go workflows, eliminating manual data entry while improving operational safety through better aircraft positioning information.
“We appreciate how Spire Aviation is working with Charter and Go in order to support our charter operators in ways other systems cannot,” said Christian Huff, CEO and co-founder of Keller, Texas-based Charter and Go. “By having Spire Aviation auto-update our flight logs, it improves the overall safety of a charter operator.”
Johan Alex Varghese, head of partnership and commercial at Spire Aviation, emphasized the operational benefits: “The partnership brings space-based intelligence directly to charter operators, empowering faster, safer, and more cost-efficient operations.”
