“As one of the fast growing MRO service providers in North America, we have never lost sight of what sets us apart in the market; unrivaled maintenance expertise and unparalleled customer service” says Tucker Morrison, Chief Operating Officer, Flightstar. “The in-visit visibility afforded by the Maintenix MRO Edition software, coupled with sophisticated process automation, provides us with even greater control over our committed deliverables ensuring that we continue to exceed customer expectations.”

Flightstar counts a number of national and international industry leaders among its blue-chip client list, including Delta, FedEx, and Southwest Airlines with whom they have worked to build long-term relationships founded on safety, reliability and continuous improvement.

“Mxi has created a differentiated product that supports MRO service providers in maintaining a customer-centric focus and Flightstar is the perfect complement to this vision,” says Dave Seibel, Chairman and CEO, Mxi Technologies. “With maintenance outsourcing shifting to place a higher value on quality and consistency, the business benefits afforded by the Maintenix MRO Edition is enabling our customers to more confidently and profitably compete on a local and global scale.”
