At airports across North America, airlines are rethinking how to keep operations moving while cutting emissions and costs.
For one major airline, the answer came in the form of a $1.2mn-plus investment in Flux Power’s G80 lithium-ion energy solution with the SkyEMS platform, a powerful combination of hardware and software designed to transform ground support equipment (GSE) operations.
The order, which includes multiple G80 configurations equipped with the SkyEMS platform, will equip the airline with powerful real-time insights into fleet performance, asset health, and maintenance needs.
By enabling predictive maintenance and maximizing uptime, the G80 solution will help the airline achieve its sustainability targets while improving operational speed and reliability.
“Airlines today need more than just batteries; they need data-driven solutions that keep them ahead of challenges on the ground,” said Krishna Vanka, CEO of Flux Power.
“Our integrated hardware and software offering delivers not only the power to move equipment but the intelligence to keep operations running at peak performance.”
The purchase was facilitated through Averest, a long-standing Flux Power partner specializing in aviation electrification.
Averest’s expertise in deploying high-performance and serviceable solutions for the demanding pace of airport operations was instrumental in securing the order.
“Flux Power’s G80 with SkyEMS data is a game-changer for aviation customers,” said Jeff Barrett, president of Averest.
“By pairing intelligent energy systems with proven serviceability, we’re giving airlines the tools to cut costs, reduce emissions, and keep equipment ready when it’s needed most.”
The G80 Advantage with the SkyEMS Platform:
- Integrated hardware + software: Real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and predictive alerts from a unified platform
- Modular architecture: Rapid field service and reduced downtime
- Operational intelligence: Data insights that drive preventive maintenance and informed decision-making
- Sustainability impact: Clean, zero-emission alternative to fossil-fuel-powered GSE
Deliveries are scheduled for 2025, with additional orders from the airline expected in the near future – signalling strong momentum for the adoption of intelligent lithium-ion solutions in aviation.
