AVTECH Sweden AB
AVTECH is a Swedish publicly listed software development company founded in 1988 by an airline pilot that was looking for better weather input to the aircraft systems. We are located in Kista, right in heart of Sweden’s technological center just north of Stockholm. It started out as a research project that later led to commercial products proven to help airlines optimize their operational efficiency.
Airlines and Air Traffic Control are facing challenges to optimize the flow of air traffic. With better predictions we can reduce delays and thereby reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions and increase punctuality. Accurate information of atmospheric conditions is essential for Time-based Operations, as it is important to accurately position an aircraft during its flight.

Our products are based on high-quality data combined with our patented solutions, helping our customers save fuel and time, fly safer and decrease their environmental footprint. They can be adapted to any existing aircraft system, as well as being utilised through our EFB application proFLIGHT, meaning no hardware investments required. More information about our products>

The UK Met Office provides 4D trajectory data on demand via an API so that AVTECH can make requests in real-time for data from the Met Office’s global model. This can be used for the descent, cruise and climb phases of operation for any global airport. The 4D trajectory query can also extract a “corridor” of weather forecast data from the weather model to identify gridded aviation hazard data, e.g. turbulence into the AVTECH proFLIGHT product range.

In our EFB app proFLIGHT we provide users that participate in IATAs Turbulence Aware program with real-time turbulence data. The real-time turbulence information is combined with high-resolution turbulence forecasts from the UK Met Office to give the pilot the best overview of the weather conditions.
