SKYTRAC Systems has announced that Air Inuit has chosen the company’s TrooTrax Mission flight following software as part of its Operational Control Center (OCC) modernisation to satisfy evolving regulatory requirements.
This will enhance the airline’s operational visibility, fleet advancement and alignment with Global Aeronautical Distress Safety System (GADSS) recommendations established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
“We at SKYTRAC value our longstanding relationship with Air Inuit and are pleased to support this next phase of their fleet modernisation,” said Ruben Stepin, Director of Business Development and GADSS Specialist at SKYTRAC.
“By implementing TrooTrax Mission in its OCC and deploying ISAT-200A terminals across its fleet, Air Inuit is strengthening its operational capabilities and ensuring its fleet is equipped to meet evolving industry and GADSS requirements. As an operator that plays a vital role in connecting and serving northern and Indigenous communities, we are proud to support Air Inuit’s mission with the implementation of this solution.”
Air Inuit is the second Canadian airline to implement TrooTrax Mission into their operation, SKYTRAC says, and the solution It will serve as the airline’s primary flight following solution across its fleet of 40 aircraft and helicopters. TrooTrax Mission offers a dual-source tracking approach using both ADS-B position reporting and Iridium tracking, improving visibility and redundancy across a carrier’s operations.
“Maintaining clear visibility across our operations is essential, particularly in the regions we serve,” said Stéphane Rousseau, Vice-President of IT at Air Inuit.
“TrooTrax Mission will enhance how our OCC monitors and manages flights in real-time. The software’s ability to integrate flight plans, support dual-source tracking, and provide timely alerts gives our team greater insight into our operations while remaining cost-effective. This upgrade also positions us to stay ahead of the emerging GADSS requirements in Canada; thus, future proofing our fleet.”
