SkyTrac Systems, in partnership with Eastern European distributor Depicon, has expanded its automated flight tracking services to UTair-Helicopter Services’ fleet of 46 Mil-8 Helicopters. SkyTrac supports the company’s international peace-keeping missions with contractually-compliant high precision flight tracking, real-time automated event notifications, and air-to-ground voice and text messaging.

The UTair-Helicopter Services package includes SkyTrac's ISAT-200A satellite air asset tracking unit, SkyTrac CDP/DVI cockpit display panel and dispatch voice interface, and SkyWeb cloud-based data management services.
