Aireon is to provide “space-based data” to enhance Boeing's Fleet Insight flight tracker.
The company said in a statement that it would offer “real-time, streaming space-based ADS-B data through its AireonSTREAM product” and allow Boeing “access to the only high-fidelity, low-latency, air traffic surveillance-quality aircraft position data used by air navigation service providers around the world".
“The integration of AireonSTREAM into Boeing's Fleet Insight will provide customers with the ability to track their aircraft wherever they operate in the world, eliminating coverage gaps”, Aireon said.
"Aireon brings the capabilities and expertise needed to help power our new flight tracking solution for airlines," said Brad Surak, vice president, digital aviation solutions, Boeing Global Services, who added that the addition would add “operational awareness across our Boeing Integrated Operations Center suite of solutions” and enable “continued safe and efficient operations for our customers around the world."
"Bringing together two market-leading solutions with Aireon ADS-B data and Boeing's Fleet Insight enables new levels of flight tracking visibility for operators," said Don Thoma, Aireon chief executive.
