BANGKOK, TH, October 16, 2024 – TrustFlight Ltd. (TrustFlight), a technology innovator focused on digitization of the aviation industry, today announced that Thai SmartLynx, formerly BBN Airlines Thailand, has selected TrustFlight’s Safety, Quality, and Risk Management platform, Centrik 5, to enhance safety, reduce risk, and improve operational efficiencies as it launches in early 2025.
Part of the broader Avia Solutions Group (ASG), Thai SmartLynx is set to become Thailand’s first ACMI provider when the carrier begins operations with Airbus A320s. The rebranded operator will support Thailand’s rapidly growing, tourism-driven market, which has seen a notable increase in activity after the COVID-19 downturn.
“We are proud to select TrustFlight for our Safety, Quality, and Risk management system,” mentioned Mr. Apirak Homlaor, CEO, Thai SmartLynx. “Far more than enabling seamless safety and quality management, TrustFlight’s prowess as a real-time operational management system ensures our teams remain connected, in real-time, as we respond to dynamic changes synonymous with the aviation industry.”
Thai SmartLynx will leverage Centrik 5’s full ecosystem of modules, including Safety, Compliance (Quality), Risk, Training, Workflows, and Regulations to oversee its operations. With the Regulations and Workflows modules, Thai SmartLynx will receive real-time notifications when changes to regulations occur, automatically alerting and assigning actions to ensure proactive maintenance of stringent safety and compliance regulations.
“We are keen to see our presence increase in the rapidly growing APAC region and are excited to support Thai SmartLynx ACMI operations in Thailand,” said Karl Steeves, CEO, TrustFlight. “Centrik is known across the entire aviation and aerospace industry as a leading SMS, QMS, and RMS platform, and we look forward to demonstrating how it can provide value to operators by replacing multiple tools and systems in a bid to offer better operational management.”

About Thai SmartLynx
Thai SmartLynx, formerly known as BBN Airlines Thailand, specializes in ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) and charter services. The company, in a partnership with Avia Solutions Group, the world's largest ACMI provider, and local partners, is in the final stages of getting approval for its Air Operator's Certificate. Thai SmartLynx is expected to begin operations in early 2025, focusing on providing ACMI services, which allow other airlines to lease aircraft and crews for peak travel seasons or other needs. The airline will initially operate Airbus A320s and is positioned to become Thailand’s first ACMI provider. Its services will help meet the growing demand for additional air travel capacity in Thailand, particularly during peak tourist seasons. With Thailand’s tourism recovering to pre-pandemic levels and expected to grow further in the coming years, Thai SmartLynx is strategically positioned to address the seasonal aircraft shortages in the region.
