Flyht Receives Order from China Express to Factory Install AFIRS on ARJ 21 Aircraft

Announces China Express as a Launch Partner for its Actionable Intelligence Solution

FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (TSX-V: FLY) (OTCQX: FLYLF) (the “Company” or “Flyht”) announced today that it has received an order for 20 AFIRS units that will be factory installed on the ARJ21 aircraft for China Express Airlines Co. Ltd., China’s first private regional airline. China Express will take delivery of the first 20 of an expected commitment for up to 100 of the newest aircraft type available in China over the next 5 years. China Express has also agreed to be a launch customer for Flyht’s Actionable Intelligence solution by integrating AFIRS data from both its current fleet and the incoming ARJ fleet with ground handling data from various systems.

Flyht currently has more than 2,800 aircraft equipped with the patented AFIRSTM system, and provides data analytics and reporting to more than 80 aircraft operators around the globe.

China Express stated, “Flyht has long been a valued technology partner with their AFIRS system installed on our existing fleet of CRJ and A320 aircraft. As we expand our fleet with new aircraft, we are having AFIRS installed by the manufacturer so that we can leverage real-time data immediately through the use of Flyht’s new Actionable Intelligence tools.”
