CALGARY , Jan. 5 /CNW/ - AeroMechanical Services Ltd. ("AMA") is pleased to announce that we have received a 5-year contract extension from a major Bombardier Q Series (Dash-8) regional operator based in the West Indies. This customer has been a user of AMA's patented afirs(TM) UpTime(TM) solution since 2005.

The contract extension includes equipping an expanded fleet with AMA's Automated Flight Information Reporting System (afirs(TM)), UpTime(TM) web-based services, and on-site assistance. The 5-year value of the new contract is in excess of $2,200,000 US depending upon the timing of the additional installations and the extent of on-site services required.

Their widely distributed operations over 22 destinations in the Eastern Caribbean are very well served by afirs(TM) continuous communication capabilities and the central information and report delivery provided by UpTime", stated Richard Hayden , President of AMA.
