FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (“FLYHT”) (TSX-V: FLY) (OTCQX: FLYLF), today announced receipt of a Supplemental Type Certificate (“STC”) revision from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) to install the TSO approved AFIRS™ 228S satcom solution on Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aircraft. This STC allows FLYHT to fulfill its agreement with an existing customer in furtherance of a press release dated December 7, 2021.
