Clay Lacy Aviation is working with Portside, a provider of modern, cloud-based solutions for business aviation, by adopting Avianis as its flight scheduling and operations platform.

The operator has a growing nationwide fleet that requires a scalable, integrated platform supporting flight scheduling, crew coordination, compliance tracking and maintenance oversight. By moving to Avianis, Clay Lacy gains a single system that strengthens daily operations, providing an even smoother experience for aircraft owners and charter clients.

“Our clients expect the very best every time they fly with us,” says Ken Webster, VP flight operations at Clay Lacy Aviation. “Avianis gives us a modern, unified platform that makes our operations more seamless and ensures we continue delivering the highest levels of safety, service and efficiency.”
