It is very gratifying for us that yet another two airlines are able to see the potential value of a futuristic product system like Aventus NowCast, and appreciate that it can be successfully implemented whilst generating beneficial results. It is also important to note the extraordinary fourfold win-win scenario that is created here: apart from the customer and AVTECH itself, not only does the environment profit from this new technology, but also the traveling public who will benefit in terms of more punctual arrivals.

The significance of these two contracts goes beyond the individual contracts as it demonstrates that AVTECH is now starting to build a customer base with the pace of signing customers is increasing from the major carrier in the Middle East that was signed in June and the one in Asia-Pacific in October. The goal has been 6 signed contracts by the end of the year, and with todays announcement we are on plan to meet our goal. Says David Alvord, CEO at AVTECH
