About AFIRS

AMA’s Automated Flight Information Reporting System (“AFIRS”) is installed on aircraft and monitors hundreds of essential functions from the plane and the black box. AFIRS sends that information to the UpTime^TM Server on the ground, which stores and transfers the data to the airline in real-time. Airlines can use this information to increase passenger safety, improve productivity, maximize efficiency and enhance profitability. In addition to its data monitoring functions, AFIRS provides voice and text messaging capabilities that give pilots the ability to communicate with ground support. AMA offers global satellite coverage, providing service to whoever needs it, when they need it, anywhere on the planet.
