PRODUCT SOLUTIONS
The PPS Flight Planning and CrewBriefing system solutions are based on a modular and fully scalable software structure as well as a modular update data service structure all in relation to each user’s operational requirements. This means that each individual user can get a customized set-up of the required software modules without incurring expensive software customization/development charges, as well as each individual user can obtain a customized update service package which covers only those services that are required. The above modular software and update service structure enables AIR SUPPORT to offer solutions to each main operator segment as well as customized set-ups for operators within the same main segment.
