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.”
Avianis is a powerful, web-based platform designed to streamline and optimise every aspect of flight operations for operators of all sizes. From its highly customisable Schedule Board to advanced tools for crew compliance, duty limits and maintenance tracking, Avianis brings all core functions into one connected platform. This comprehensive approach enables operators like Clay Lacy to run more efficient, compliant and transparent operations while ensuring aircraft and crew are always ready for mission success.
As part of the broader Portside ecosystem, Clay Lacy will also have access to additional integrated products and capabilities designed to drive even greater efficiencies, like fuel management via FuelAssist, and owner service optimisation tools via Portside Owner Portal. Together, these solutions create a unified platform that streamlines operations, enhances compliance and delivers measurable value across the organisation.
“Clay Lacy is a recognised leader in private aviation, and we are proud to partner with it,” remarks Alek Vernitsky, CEO at Portside. “This implementation highlights not only the scalability and power of Avianis, but also the expertise of our team in supporting complex projects that drive measurable value for our customers.”
