Switzerland-based JEKTA, the manufacturer of the zero-emissions PHA-ZE 100 amphibious aircraft, has formed two new strategic partnerships to enhance its operational ecosystem.
The first partnership is with Aerovy, a US-based software company, which will provide its platform for aircraft health monitoring and predictive maintenance. The Aerovy software will allow operators and owners to make more informed operational, maintenance, and technical decisions, helping to streamline budgets. This collaboration is designed to improve the management of maintenance for amphibious aircraft, which operate on various terrains, including water and unpaved runways. The software’s capabilities will assist operators, including insurance companies and financiers, by delivering valuable operational insights and supporting asset retention.
Nick Gunady, CEO of Aerovy, explained, “With amphibian aircraft that operate on water, paved and unpaved runways, the ability to monitor aircraft performance and facilitate predictive maintenance will enable operators to reduce downtime and optimize operations. Our Spectra platform will enable JEKTA to better support operators regularly flying in remote or environmentally challenging environments, reducing maintenance-related downtime and supporting consistent revenue generation.”
Additionally, JEKTA has partnered with the UK-based insurance company Advanced Technology Assurance (ATA) to develop tailored insurance products for the amphibious aviation sector. This collaboration will offer PHA-ZE 100 customers access to ATA’s competitive insurance options, including hull insurance and other coverage types. ATA will also provide regular updates on market trends, the integration of advanced technologies in aerospace, and the evolving insurance requirements for amphibious aircraft.
Alistair Blundy, CEO and Lead Underwriter at ATA, stated, “The tailored insurance policies being defined for JEKTA customers will give operators confidence in the product and support access to what is traditionally a challenging element for aircraft operators and owners of amphibian aviation. With this relationship in place, customers will have more certainty around direct operating costs and know that their asset is sufficiently protected.”
Both agreements are now in effect and are part of JEKTA's ongoing efforts to build a comprehensive operational support system for its aircraft. George Alafinov, CEO of JEKTA, emphasised, “We are building a portfolio of operational support that will attract customers seeking an amphibian aircraft that is delivered with a connected ecosystem of partners. We already have various key partners, including a global leasing entity to support asset acquisition, a hydrogen partner for propulsion, and now partners that can support maintenance management and insurance provision.”
“These are essential elements that will underpin PHA-ZE 100 operations,” adds Alafinov. “We are excited to keep expanding this portfolio in parallel with the aircraft development, which is gaining momentum,” he added.
