Jet Aviation Signs Agreement with ForeFlight for Flight Planning Software
LAS VEGAS / October 18, 2023 — Jet Aviation announced today that it has signed an agreement with ForeFlight, a Boeing company, to use their flight planning software. ForeFlight Dispatch will be rolled out across the Jet Aviation global managed fleet.
The agreement builds upon Jet Aviation’s current utilization of Boeing’s digital solutions, including Jeppesen charts, NavData and FliteDeck Pro, by introducing ForeFlight Dispatch as the primary flight planning platform for Jet Aviation. The tool centralizes all flight planning on a single platform with capabilities including flexible operational rules for adapting to unique operational needs.
“ForeFlight Dispatch represents another important step in our global aircraft management technology journey,” says David Best, senior vice president and general manager the Americas. “The tool allows us to provide increased visibility on flight data for both the planner and the pilot, automating many parts of the process and integrating into a crew app and the aircraft software to provide a seamless plan. Using one tool across our global network ensures that our teams are more easily able to collaborate to provide an effortless experience for our crews, wherever they fly with Jet Aviation. We are excited to embark on this journey with ForeFlight and look forward to building on this initial launch and continuing to integrate features across our network.”
