Valair Aviation Joins Airtext Dealer Network
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (PRWEB) March 26, 2018 -- Valair Aviation, a full-service MRO and FBO facility located at Wiley Post Airport, has joined the Airtext dealer network that offers reliable on-board text messaging to and from anywhere in the world. At a fraction of the cost of traditional internet options, Airtext by SendSolutions keeps travellers connected electronically to business, friends, and family.
“Valair Aviation takes pride in providing aircraft owners with options that support their important connectivity needs at a reasonable price,” stated Mike Bowen, Senior Vice President of Ground Operations at Valair Aviation. “With Airtext, Valair builds on its established suite of Avionics upgrades for our private, commercial and government customers operating turbine and mid-size corporate jets.”
Passengers access the network through a free Airtext app installed on a smartphone that connects to the internet via a small piece of hardware installed on the aircraft itself. The average cost per message is just five cents, allowing up to 16 passengers the ability to send and receive SMS messages anywhere, any time, without altitude restrictions.
“Airtext is a great value for aircraft owners,” stated David Gray, founder of Send Solutions. “Not only do passengers get a vibrant system that allows messaging, but the pilots have several unique WX and operations features not previously available. Fleetlink and FBOlink are tools that allow efficient communications with a dispatch or an FBO from anywhere in the world at any altitude. The D-ATIS feature was previously only available with higher cost avionics products. We see Airtext as the baseline for continued airplane datalink capabilities,” Gray added.
Valair is an experienced dealer and service provider within many Avionics product networks including Garmin, Rockwell Collins, Honeywell, Avidyne, and Sandel, and has supplied customers with this these and many more products around the globe.
