Global Aerospace has partnered with Polaris Aero through its SM4 Aviation Safety Program. Polaris, a provider of aviation software and safety management systems, will offer software subscriptions to Global’s U.S. Vista Elite clients. The tools include its VOCUS safety intelligence platform, comprising FlightRisk, GroundRisk and VOCUS SM. Existing Polaris customers will receive add-on benefits such as FOQA/FDM, ASAP and safety culture surveys.

Dana DiPietro, senior vice president and underwriting manager at Global Aerospace, says: “Strengthening safety means empowering our community with the expertise and tools to drive continuous improvement. As we expand to keep the SM4 programme dynamic, welcoming Polaris Aero represents an important step forward. We're introducing another way to access industry-leading aviation software, advanced risk analysis and SMS capabilities, empowering operators to move beyond reactive compliance and embrace proactive, datadriven safety decisions.”

Steve Bruneau, chief revenue officer for Polaris, adds: “We are thrilled to be a part of SM4 and do our part to make business aviation safer. Our technology and services are designed to simplify, enhance and seamlessly integrate safety into the various operational systems that enable organisations to function effectively every day.”

Since 2010, Global Aerospace has invested over $7.5 million in the SM4 programme.
