George J. Priester Aviation, the parent company for Priester Aviation, Mayo Aviation and Hill Private Aviation, is working alongside AirTera, a service mark of NATA Compliance Services (NATA CS) by selecting AirTera's safety management system and entering into a strategic partnership to co-develop and launch a next-generation emergency response planning (ERP) module, set to debut in summer 2025.

The next-generation ERP module will be a fully integrated component of the AirTera SMS platform, offering operators a seamless, scalable solution that reflects both real-world operational success and cutting-edge software design. Rather than a simple productisation, this new offering is a complete redevelopment and modernisation of George J. Priester Aviation's proven internally developed ERP system, one shaped by three generations of operational excellence in charter aviation.

George J. Priester Aviation's ERP has long served as a cornerstone of its safety infrastructure. “We didn't just build our ERP for internal use; we built it to solve real problems for charter operations like us,” says George J. Priester Aviation chairman, Andy Priester. “Now, by partnering with AirTera, we're taking that proven foundation and turning it into a platform that can benefit the entire industry. Its innovation, speed, and user focus make it the perfect team to help us elevate and scale what we started.”

AirTera president and CEO, Jiri Marousek, describes the new module as a natural extension of the company's mission to modernise aviation operations: “George J. Priester Aviation's ERP wasn't just a tool; it was a field-tested platform shaped by decades of expertise. By reimagining it as a next-generation, integrated module within our SMS, we're giving operators the ability to manage emergencies, resilience and continuity within the same system they already use for security, safety, compliance and automation.”

Launching in summer 2025, the ERP module will be offered as an optional add-on to AirTera's SMS, enhancing the platform's capabilities with operator-proven emergency planning and cohesive tools, all powered by AirTera's signature AI-driven intelligence and intuitive design.
