Due to the program’s strong performance, outstanding customer service, and precise aircraft operations, we have successfully completed 101 flights totaling 280 flight hours (as of 18 May 2026). AIRTEC will continue to support the mission with our proven fixed‑wing platform, delivering the reliability and performance needed for sustained, high‑precision airborne data collection across thousands of miles of critical energy infrastructure.

This initiative reflects Vantage Aviation’s established reputation in airborne mission execution, sensor integration, and large-scale infrastructure delivery. Under the contract, Vantage Aviation is responsible for mission architecture, LiDAR system integration, regulatory coordination, flight operations, data acquisition oversight, client interface, and overall program delivery. AIRTEC’s aircraft capability complements Vantage Aviation’s operational leadership, enabling an efficient and scalable solution for statewide infrastructure modernization.

Together, we’re advancing aviation-enabled infrastructure modernization, improving grid resilience, public safety, and long-term energy reliability.
