WingX is partnering with Parapex Media to offer market intelligence regarding the international helicopter fleet. This venture combines the data of Parapex and the flight activity platforms developed by WingX across the global business jet fleets.

The Europe-based companies say they will endeavor to cover information on “every civil-operated turbine helicopter in the Western world.” Users can select from the flight activity data based on a wide combination of factors including country, type of operation, operator, aircraft type, and engine type.

Richard Koe, managing director of WingX, explained, “We think this is a great opportunity to materialize the obvious synergies between our two businesses, and it’s good timing, given the emerging and exciting convergence of business aviation and next-gen, short-haul, and eVTOL operations.”

Jeremy Parkin, managing director of Parapex Media, added, “This collaboration opens up new opportunities for the helicopter industry. In combining our complementary knowledge and expertise, customers are afforded the ability to make better business decisions on the basis of accurate and well-presented data.”
