(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/14/11 -- AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: AMA) (the "Company" or "AMA") has signed a $440,000 USD contract with a Nigerian airline for the Automated Flight Information Reporting System ("AFIRS™") 220.
The contract requires AMA to install the AFIRS 220 on a total of five Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft for a well established airline with over 30 years of operations in Nigeria, North Africa and the Middle East.
The airline is one of the first to implement the recommendations of Dr. Harold Demuren, Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, to implement a flight tracking system to increase safety and improve airline operational efficiency in the country. The airline will primarily use the AFIRS 220 for global flight tracking and satellite voice communications. AFIRS' other functions including engine trending, airframe and engine exceedances, and Out, Off, On and In times are available to the customer at any time.
"We are pleased to see the continued interest in AFIRS from Nigerian airlines," said Bill Tempany, Chairman and CEO of AMA. "AFIRS, in combination with the operations centres already established, will provide valuable information to aid in the airline's operations. The addition of the 747 to our list of Supplemental Type Certificates is exciting because there are many 747 aircraft in service that we will work on installing AFIRS technology."
AMA established its first operation command centre in Nigeria in , and opened a second as announced on . The facilities provide real-time weather and flight tracking information to Nigerian airlines.
AMA will provide equipment and services to the airline over a five year contract. All installations are scheduled to be completed in October and November of 2011. If AMA completes installation on all contracted aircraft and provides recurring service for the full term of the agreement, gross revenue to AMA will be approximately $440,000 USD, excluding optional services. AMA holds all necessary certifications for the Boeing 767 and has commenced the approval process for the Boeing 747.
