ARINC Direct, which supplies flight planning and support services to business aviation, is developing bespoke packages for charter aircraft and looking to expand markets in Europe and the Middle East.

U.K.-based James Hardie says: "We are talking to charter operators including those who are already our customers. A sophisticated suite of services is already available in Europe and has nearly 1,000 aircraft

filing more than 700 flight plans per day worldwide. We will build on this to cater to the specific needs of charter operators."

ARINC Direct provides web-based access to the services.
