ACASS Canada and Xinatis Consulting have entered into a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on their respective services. ACASS has 30 years of expertise in the business aviation sector providing aircraft sales, flight crew staffing, aircraft management and charter services. Xinatis specialises in support to commercial airlines, business aviation operators and special mission operators, including the aerial firefighting sector.

ACASS and Xinatis are teaming up to further explore the aerial firefighting sector, leveraging their respective expertise and market positioning to develop end-to-end solutions for alternative, cost-effective and timely aerial firefighting solutions. Both companies are headquartered in Canada with offices and team members throughout the world.

“Every year, wildfires cause tremendous environmental devastation around the world,” says ACASS CEO Andre Khury. “ACASS is excited to explore ways we can help reduce the damage and displacement caused by these fires. Joining forces with Xinatis will allow us to help develop solutions that support the efforts and vital work done by fire crews everywhere.”

“There is a real need for more timely and cost-effective solutions as the impact of global wildfires is increasing each year,” adds Xinatis president and CEO Sameer Adam. “The operational environments affected by wildfires are changing, and the damage caused leads to significant economic losses, while the available options are limited and the costs of acquisition present significant hurdles to those that need solutions the most. We see this teaming agreement as an opportunity to expand our joint focus and combine our resources in support of this high need sector.”
