It is a very powerful tool.”
Walt Kross, CEO of Flight Explorer, said, “Flight Explorer is designed for companies like Executive Jet that need specific information, in real time, about aircraft that may be thousands of miles apart. Getting the big picture helps increase efficiency and reduce costs. That’s a huge benefit to the company. We’re excited to work with Executive Jet.”
