The establishment of the new company follows Airbus’s acquisition of global flight operations solutions provider Navtech in March.
Navblue’s new portfolio includes Navtech's existing product range, which is now strengthened by Airbus ProSky’s air traffic management solutions, and Airbus’s flight operation solutions, such as its roll-over protective structures (ROPS) and FlySmart.
