"With
record fuel prices, Airlines are looking for all ways to save
on costs. AMA's afirs(TM) technology could prove to be the
solution for all airlines in this competitive low profit
margin industry."
Overview
AeroMechanical Services Ltd. provides
proprietary technological solutions and services designed to
reduce costs and improve efficiencies in the airline industry.
The company has successfully patented and commercialized three
products and associated services currently marketed to
airlines, manufacturers and maintenance organizations around
the world. Its premier technology, afirs(TM) UpTime(TM),
allows airlines to monitor and manage aircraft operations
anywhere, anytime, in real-time.
Investment
Highlights
-
afirs UpTime can save
airlines up to $100,000 – 200,000 USD per aircraft every
year. One airline estimates it will save 14 million litres
of jet fuel annually through enhanced logistical planning
with afirs technology. Also, airlines will reduce fuel
costs through weight savings, as afirs hardware is up to 15
times lighter than the major competing system.
-
The Company signed a
contract with the government of China to provide their tools
and technology on all commercial aircraft in China.
-
With 29 different airlines
around the world using AeroMechanical's afirs technology in
close to 700 planes, The Company continues to demonstrate
both the need for their technology as well as their
potential market share as more airlines come onboard to
utilize their technology.

AeroMechanical Services
Ltd. announced in Mid May that they have received a contract
from an African scheduled service and charter airline to
outfit nineteen aircraft with AMA's patented afirs(TM)
UpTime(TM) system. The contract is for a 5-year term whereby
AMA will provide AMA's patented afirs(TM) UpTime(TM)
solution on nineteen aircraft. The gross revenues to
AMA under this agreement would be approximately $2,874,200.
Profile
Currently, most of North American and Western Europe use
VHF Radio to transmit critical airline operations to ground
crews. However, the problems with VHF communications are that
airlines need to wait until the aircraft has landed to get
this critical information. Also, there is no VHF
infrastructure in certain areas such as China, India, South
America and over the Pacific Ocean.
AeroMechanical Services afirs system overcomes VHF
communication lapses because the afirs system uses satellites
to beam critical operations information to airlines, anywhere
in the globe, at any time. The afirs system effectively
manages fuel consumption, decreases airline delays, improves
logistics and safety, and increases efficiency and accuracy in
airplane log books.
The Company signed a contract with the government of China
to provide their tools and technology on all commercial
aircraft in China. With record fuel prices, and tight
competition, Airlines are looking for all ways to save on
costs. With over 29 different airline carriers using the
afirs technology on 700 planes, clearly there is a need and a
market for AeroMechanical Services Ltd.'s technology in this
competitive low profit margin industry.
afirs UpTime is a satellite-based Automated Flight
Information Reporting System (afirs) that allows airlines to
manage and monitor aircraft operations anywhere, anytime in
real-time.
afirs UpTime
Airlines benefit from afirs UpTime via several methods:
- Effectively managed and monitored fuel consumption.
- Decreased delays.
- Improved logistics and safety.
- Eliminated rounding errors and biases in reporting.
- Increased efficiency and accuracy in log books.
afirs UpTime gathers, stores, and transmits data and
delivers information to the Company's customers. The solution
is a complete system from sensor to end user, with data,
voice, and e-mail capabilities:
What data is read, captured, transmitted, and reported?
afirs UpTime reads, stores, transmits and reports the most
critical elements of flight operation and maintenance from
various sources on the aircraft, including (P)OOOI
information, engine trend information, and engine and airframe
exceedence information.
How do airlines save money?
afirs UpTime allows airlines to become significantly more
profitable by:
- Reducing fuel costs through weight savings, as afirs
hardware is up to 15 times lighter than the major competing
system.
- Enhancing safety through accurate and timely monitoring
of aircraft systems.
- Decreasing delays as a result of enhanced logistics
planning capabilities.
- Reducing fleet under-utilization and eliminating
discrepancies with log books.
How much do airlines save?
afirs UpTime can save airlines up to $100,000 – 200,000 USD
per aircraft every year. One airline estimates it will save 14
million litres of jet fuel annually through enhanced
logistical planning with afirs technology.
Who are the competitors?
The major competitor is an aircraft communication system
relying primarily on costly VHF (very high frequency) and HF
(high frequency) services allowing for only text-based
communications.
The afirs UpTime system sets itself apart from the competitors
with our patented technology and LIVE REAL-TIME communication.

AeroQ™ Cabin Cleaning System
The result of several years of research and development work,
the AeroQ Cabin Cleaning System is designed to reduce the risk
of infection from surfaces in passenger aircraft due to
biofilm infestations.
Tests have proven it to be highly effective against a large
number of pathogenic organisms, including those that cause a
variety of gastrointestinal infections, tuberculosis, and
other respiratory infections. AeroQ could also be effective in
combating diseases such as pandemic influenza and avian flu.
The solutions used in the AeroQ Cabin Cleaning System are
currently being tested in Boeing labs to ensure their safe use
on Boeing aircraft.
