Meet TrustFlight at ALTA Aviation Safety, Flight Ops and Training Summit 2026

TrustFlight is aviation’s safety intelligence platform. We’ll be in Mendoza to connect with airlines, operators, and training organisations across Latin America and the Caribbean who are managing the same challenge facing operators worldwide: safety, compliance, security, and emergency response handled through a patchwork of disconnected tools and providers. Those disconnections are not just inefficient. They are where risk accumulates.

At the Summit, our team will be available to discuss our full platform. Centrik 5 is our established safety, quality, and risk management system, trusted by 200,000+ aviation professionals across 100+ countries, and the proven foundation for SMS, QMS, audit management, and regulatory compliance. Smart Suite is our AI-powered, agent-first platform, with AI agents that monitor 120+ global regulatory frameworks, classify risks, and surface trends in real time. And our Tech Log provides a compliant digital source of truth for aircraft maintenance and operations, with 30+ integrations and automated maintenance workflows.

Behind the technology, TrustFlight integrates four capability pillars into a single connected platform: our technology products, specialist training and consulting through Baines Simmons, security assurance through Redline, and emergency preparedness and response through Kenyon International. Trusted by 1,600+ organisations across 120 countries, we don’t just deliver software. We deliver the operational intelligence and expertise to act on it.

Our very own Thomas Lemaire and Faye Jones will be representing TrustFlight at the event. To arrange a meeting in Mendoza, get in touch with our team ahead of the Summit at sales@trustflight.com.

Established in 2005, HeliDubai provides premium helicopter services across the UAE, including private and business charter flights, aerial filming and photography, and a range of sightseeing tours. Based near Dubai International Airport, HeliDubai operates a fleet of five Airbus H125 helicopters serving high-value travelers, hotels, and agents seeking exceptional aerial experiences.

HeliDubai’s decision to adopt Centrik 5 builds on the existing use of the platform within its sister company, Dubai Air Wing, which already leverages Centrik 5 to manage safety, quality, and risk. By extending the same digital backbone across both organizations, HeliDubai intends to use Centrik 5 to support harmonised oversight, shared best practices, and a unified approach to safety management.

At HeliDubai, the mission is to deliver safe, reliable helicopter tours across Dubai’s unique and demanding operating environment, with safety as the foundation of every passenger flight. The implementation of Centrik 5 will support the continued development of their SMS/QMS, enhancing real-time risk management, and demonstrating a proactive commitment to passenger safety, security, and regulatory compliance.

Centrik 5 will enable key personnel to deploy configurable audit templates, automate follow-up actions, and maintain full traceability across safety, training and maintenance. In addition, the organisation will be enabled to derive meaningful safety intelligence and proactive compliance through narrative trend detection, heatmaps of recurring hazards, and event frequency across tour profiles.

In addition to Centrik 5, HeliDubai is utilising TrustFlight’s Baines Simmons division for advanced document authoring and manual revision services to support the review, authoring and controlled publication of operational manuals. Baines Simmons’ document authoring and manual revision service simplifies the complex process of manual updates, from authoring and formatting through to controlled distribution, ensuring a seamless and auditable approach to safety and compliance documentation.

“TrustFlight’s role as an innovative, reliable software and service provider is to equip specialist operators like HeliDubai with advanced safety systems and expert services needed to enhance operational efficiency and risk reduction,” said Karl Steeves, CEO at TrustFlight. “By combining Centrik 5 with expert document authoring, we are helping the aerospace industry create a robust, data-driven, digital-first safety management foundation that supports their growth and reinforces regulatory confidence.”
