Description

In this episode, we get a visit from Patrick O’Brien, Manager of Flight Operations @ Execaire! I’ve known Patrick for the last 10 years or so, and when he told me he had a trip from Montreal down to Florida, I knew we had to connect and sit down to record an episode. As someone who flies, manages the flight operations for a large fleet, understands the business of aircraft charter/management, and is quite knowledgable in technology, Patrick has a very unique, well-rounded point-of-view on the modern-day flight operation.

We had a great discussion and hit on a bunch of topics, including:

• Selecting the right technology partners for your flight operation
• Building their own Execaire App & the importance of API integrations
• A modern approach to streamlining jobs for pilots, flight operations, and maintenance teams
• Managing the adoption & implementation of new technology (ie. Web Manuals, FuelerLinx)
• Reducing operational risk through proper organizational communication
• CORSIA, SAFs, and a realistic approach to aviation sustainability

Execaire is part of the Innotech-Execaire Aviation Group, which provides a number of services including charter, management, maintenance, sales/acquisitions, and technical services. Their charter fleet has over 25 aircraft, including Globals, Challengers, & Falcons, and more. For more info on Execaire, visit https://www.innotech-execaire.com/
