Navblue - Airbus’ New Flight Operations and Air Traffic Management Company

Following the acquisition of Navtech in March this year, Airbus has launched a new integrated flight operations and air traffic management service company – Navblue – to provide a complete range of digital end-to-end and integrated flight operations solutions.

Navblue will function as a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus and be a key unit of Services By Airbus. Navblue’s main offices are located in Waterloo, Ontario Canada, Hersham in the United Kingdom and Toulouse in France, with satellite sites around the world.

Navblue’s portfolio integrates the existing product offer of Navtech – which is now bolstered by Airbus ProSky’s Air Traffic Management solutions, as well as Airbus’ popular Flight Operations innovations such as ROPS and FlySmart.

The new subsidiary will also draw upon the unique expertise of Airbus Defence and Space coupled with proprietary satellite data and extensive data analysis expertise.

Navblue’s solutions and services will not be limited to Airbus aircraft, but will build on the independent scope and position of Navtech. The product families will support both civil or military environments, on the ground or on board any aircraft.

Mike Hulley, President & CEO of Navblue, said, “I am looking forward to lead into the future our new company, Navblue, which is fuelled by the customer-centric agility of Navtech, combined with the pioneering philosophy of Airbus. Together, we will benefit from an expanded global footprint stretching from Waterloo to London to Toulouse and beyond.”

Going forward, Navblue’s offering will be clustered around three pillars: “Data+”, “N-Software Services” and “Bespoke Solutions by Navblue”.
