ForeFlight

�Ӱ���Ƶ’s local presence is led by . Located in Odense, it has a workforce of more than a 100 highly skilled people, including software engineers, technical experts and aviation specialists. ForeFlight is a leading provider of innovative mobile and web-based aviation applications. Its data analytics tools and services provide a seamless digital ecosystem that touches all phases of flight. ForeFlight technology is deployed on the flight decks of two-thirds of all flights worldwide, serving more than 100,000 users globally.

�Ӱ���Ƶ �Ӱ���Ƶ Airplanes

Danish airline, Star Air (Maersk’s airfreight carrier), operates a fleet of 27 �Ӱ���Ƶ 767-300 Freighter airplanes.

In 2021, Maersk placed its first order for �Ӱ���Ƶ’s top-selling freighter of all time, the 777 Freighter. Two newly built 777 Freighters will be added to the Maersk freighter fleet in 2024.

�Ӱ���Ƶ Defense, Space & Security

For more than 40 years, �Ӱ���Ƶ defense products and services have been provided to the Danish Armed Forces.

Through long-lasting relationships with Danish industry and academia, Danish companies have provided components and services for key �Ӱ���Ƶ defense programs, including CH-47, NATO Airborne Warning and Control System, satellites and the Harpoon system. Others are embedded in the �Ӱ���Ƶ global supply chain, providing products or components that support the global P-8 fleet and Space business.

Supply chain growth

In 2012, �Ӱ���Ƶ accepted delivery of the first Aluminum Launch Support Structure, produced by supplier Danish Aerotech A/S, for ship-based deployment of the Harpoon weapon system. Based in Karup, Denmark, Aerotech received the contract, valued at nearly US$1.5 million, from �Ӱ���Ƶ in 2010.

In 2010, �Ӱ���Ƶ purchased 18 Harpoon missile simulators from Terma, and in 2009, �Ӱ���Ƶ assisted Terma in receiving a contract for its electronic warfare suite to be installed on the Chinook helicopters that Canada bought from �Ӱ���Ƶ.

�Ӱ���Ƶ continues to work with Danish companies of all sizes on a variety of industrial projects that will provide long-term sustainable growth and open new markets for world-class Danish aerospace products.

Research and development

The �Ӱ���Ƶ 787 Dreamliner provides passengers with better flight experiences in part because of the findings of a two-year study on cabin environment that �Ӱ���Ƶ conducted with the Technical University of Denmark (Danmarks Tekniske Universitet), based in Lyngby, Denmark.

Researchers conducted the study in a simulated cabin environment and discovered that humidity was not the key factor in passenger comfort; rather, it was air purity.

As a result of this research, the 787 was engineered with a much more advanced air filtration system than originally planned.

Skills and talent

ForeFlight has a strong collaboration with the University of Southern Denmark University (SDU). Since 2013, 53 SDU students have been hired and more than 20 have taken a permanent position after graduation.

ForeFlight’s collaboration extends to facilitating lectures and presentations and hosting “hackathons” that provide opportunities to engage in STEM- related subjects.

With 8.5 million kroner spent on university projects and more than 100,000 kroner in sponsorships, ForeFlight continues to invest in the next generation of Danish aerospace leaders.
