FlightSafe acquired by Anvil Group

FlightSafe will see a number of technical enhancements that will future proof the service and maintain its position as a source of airline safety data.

John Trevett, Founder of FlightSafe, said: “I’ve known and worked with the Anvil team for years and the acquisition by them is an extremely positive move. I welcome the ongoing commitment they’ve shown to the FlightSafe concept and I’m excited by what they’ll be able to bring to the product. The additional resources and innovation skills at their disposal make them an extremely safe pair of hands to take the business forward.”

FlightSafe covers over 1,100 airlines in more than 180 countries, providing a quantified basis for stakeholders to determine air travel safety policies that protect the security of travellers under their care.

The platform compiles date using the Airline Safety Assessment Mechanism, which assesses the relative safety of scheduled commercial airlines.

Matthew Judge, Anvil’s Group Managing Director, said: “Having provided the technology architecture to host the FlightSafe website for many years, we’re extremely familiar with the platform and the potential that it offers in our space. We’ve been working with FlightSafe behind the scenes and have already made significant changes to the user interface to make the service even more accessible and beneficial to those needing to keep abreast of airline risk information.

“As a globally recognised risk management provider, it’s important for Anvil to continually extend and evolve our offerings and provide organisations with the very best in total end-to-end risk management and resilience solutions. We see FlightSafe as a great addition to our service portfolio.”
