ACASS and XINATIS partner to aid aerial firefighting efforts worldwide

ACASS Canada and XINATIS Consulting have entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on their respective services. ACASS has 30 years of experience in the business aviation sector providing aircraft sales, flight crew staffing, aircraft management, and charter services. XINATIS specializes in support to commercial airlines, business aviation operators, and special mission operators, including the aerial firefighting sector. 

Andre Khury, ACASS CEO, said: “Every year, wildfires cause tremendous environmental devastation around the world. ACASS is excited to explore ways we can help reduce the damage and displacement caused by these fires. Joining forces with XINATIS will allow us to help develop solutions that support the efforts and vital work done by fire crews everywhere.”

Sameer Adam, XINATIS President and CEO, added: “There is a real need for more timely and cost-effective solutions as the impact of global wildfires [is] increasing each year. The operational environments affected by wildfires are changing, and the damage caused leads to significant economic losses, while the available options are limited and the costs of acquisition present significant hurdles to those that need solutions the most.”

Western Australia’s DFES fleet recently completed its busiest aerial firefighting season yet.
