The aviation industry enters a new era with the launch of Vellox Group made up of four independent, market-leading businesses: Spidertracks, Air Maestro, Flight Vector, and Complete Flight. This merger establishes Vellox Group as the premier choice for operators in diverse sectors—including medical, industrial, public safety, energy, tourism, defence, charter, and government—delivering unparalleled functionality via a seamless platform built for the long-term.
As a result of this development, Aleksandra Banas, former CEO of Air Maestro and Spidertracks, assumes the role of Vellox Group CEO; Complete Flight Founder and CEO, Bernie Berg, assumes the role of Vellox Group CPO; and Flight Vector Founder and CEO, Scot Cromer, is transitioning to the Vellox Group Board of Directors.
“We’ve blended some of the industry’s best solutions into a cohesive platform that drives unprecedented efficiency and safety,”said Aleksandra Banas, CEO of Vellox Group. “This isn’t just a collection of tools—it’s an integrated solution designed to meet the global demands of today’s leading aviation operators.”
Key components of the Vellox Group platform include:
- Fleet Management: Asset utilisation, optimisation, and tracking, with AI-levered automated decision support and mission facilitation capabilities.
- Safety Management System (SMS): Comprehensive risk, regulatory compliance, organisational safety, and operational insights management for highly demanding and complex operators.
- Dispatch and Planning: Flight planning, crew scheduling, mission dispatch and execution, and resource allocation, including weight and balance, fuel optimization, and regulatory compliance to streamline pre-flight operations.
- Operational Management: Centralised management of during-and-post-flight activities, including operational control center (OCC)management, hours of service, maintenance scheduling, document control, and more.
“By uniting these historically independent businesses into a unified platform, we’ve created an integrated solution that simplifies processes, eliminates silos, and provides operators with a complete view of their operations—saving time, improving safety, and ensuring compliance.”
Unlike private-equity-owned competitors burdened by debt and short-term plans, Vellox Group is backed by Arcadea Group, a permanent owner. This ensures long-term investment in innovation and customer success without distractions via business sales or constant changes in strategy.
“As the only permanent owner of aviation software businesses, we prioritize long-term innovation and customer health over short-term motives”, said Paul Yancich, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Arcadea Group. He went on to add, “Arcadea Group is committing an additional $20 million to Vellox Group, ensuring we aggressively pursue our ambitious vision while further improving customer success.”
“Merging four trusted brands into a single entity required meticulous planning,”said Bernie Berg, Chief Product Officer of Vellox Group. “The good news is that for the past four months, we have been operating as a unified platform with minimal—if any—operational disturbances.”
“Our vision is to provide the world’s most trusted solutions for safe, efficient, and compliant air—and increasingly ground—operations,” said Berg. With an aggressive product roadmap, permanently committed capital, and a globally leading customer base, Vellox Group is positioned to further solidify its role as the aviation industry’s most trusted and capable partner.
