Brunei Shell has chosen SkyTrac Systems to provide flight following and SATCOM for its fleet of S92 helicopters. In addition to SkyTrac’s proprietary software, Brunei Shell will utilize SkyTrac’s new SkyWeb product, which allows any host computer with internet access to securely display flight following data.

Captain Stephen A. Fincken, Helicopter Fleet Replacement Project Leader (SAV/5) Brunei Shell Petroleum Company, commented “It was important to us to find a one-stop solution, without compromising our stringent computer security policies here at Shell. SkyTrac Systems was willing to provide us with a global, turnkey solution. They also worked closely with our installer to ensure a reliable hardware environment.”
