PHI MRO Services, a leading maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organization, has announced the acquisition of TracPlus’ next-generation helicopter tracking and common operating platform for their external leased aircraft fleet at HeliExpo 2023 in Atlanta. TracPlus’ comprehensive solution will enhance the safety of PHI’s MRO Services fleet by providing real-time situational awareness via real-time tracking while enabling data and insights to be more accessible throughout their operation.
The solution, powered by the cloud-based common operating platform TracPlus Cloud and coupled with the new RockAIR LTE device to provide dual Iridium satellite and global cellular capability, enables PHI MRO Services to more accurately ensure their leased assets are safe and being operated how and where they are expected to be – no matter how remote their mission.
“We’re committed to ensuring the safety and reliability of our customers’ aircraft, and we’re confident that TracPlus will help us achieve that goal,” said PHI MRO Services’s President PHI MRO Services, Tom Neumann.
“The acquisition of TracPlus is part of PHI’s ongoing commitment to innovation by investing in the latest technology and ensuring the PHI MRO Services lease fleet is equipped with what customers need. With this new system in place, PHI MRO Services is well-positioned to continue its growth and expansion in the years ahead,” says Mr Neumann.
The added features of the dual satellite and cellular connectivity of the RockAIR, the more accessible flight data that TracPlus Cloud delivers, and the deep integration with fire products and fire agencies make TracPlus an obvious choice for customers of PHI MRO Services lease fleet.
TracPlus’ CEO Tim Lynskey adds that he’s incredibly proud to see TracPlus technology being trusted by one of the world’s largest helicopter MRO organizations.
“This partnership with PHI MRO Services is a testament to the exceptional work our team delivers for our global customer base every day. Coupled with our extensive experience in providing critical support to firefighting operations around the world, we are confident that our technology will meet and exceed PHI MRO Services’s expectations. We’re proud to be the platform of choice that enables safer and smarter decision making for leading aviation operators,” says Tim.
