Will Jointly Offer Services to Business Aviation
ARINC says it's formed a strategic business alliance with
Florida-based Satcom Direct to integrate Satcom Direct's services
with the ARINC Direct service suite of data link, flight planning,
weather, and aircraft tracking. The companies will also focus on
developing more joint offerings with added value for their business
aviation customers.
"Satcom Direct, with their Global One Number technology for
ground-to-air dialing, is the perfect complement to our portfolio
of flight support services," stated Dave Poltorak, ARINC Vice
President, Business Aviation Services. "We look forward to working
with such an outstanding and customer-service oriented
organization."
Satcom Direct currently provides satellite access via the
Inmarsat and Iridium satellite constellations to more than 1,500
business aircraft. Users simply dial a global, 10-digit number and
telephone calls are connected to the aircraft in seconds. Customers
may also combine their Inmarsat, Iridium and terrestrial calling
into the same Global One Number. The procedure is as simple as
making a direct-dial phone call-regardless of where the aircraft is
located.
"Both companies have tremendous capabilities, and by combining
our strengths we'll deliver much greater value to our customers,"
stated Jim Jensen, Chief Executive Officer of Satcom Direct. "The
genesis for the alliance with ARINC Direct was to respond to our
customers' need for simplified solutions. We are confident our
relationship with ARINC Direct will fulfill this need."
