AviationManuals ended 2019 with an expanded product line, record revenues and now supports a client base that operates over 4,500 aircraft worldwide, including 62 Fortune 100 company flight departments. Leading the surging interest were new digital operations manual offerings and a growing engagement with ARC, the company's iPad app for Safety Management System (SMS). 

"We are adding around 700 new clients per year and we've had double digit revenue growth now for four consecutive years," said CEO Mark Baier. "Not only was 2019 another great year, but AviationManuals also began the new year with a nearly 90 percent increase in January 2020 sales volume compared to January 2019," he added.

ARC SMS App Popular with Part91 Operators

"The iPad app for our ARC Safety Management System was downloaded 1,500 times in 2019 alone, and we have twice as many ARC users now as two years ago," Baier said. "Flight departments use us and our software to make managing their manuals and SMS easy."
