“This is a significant milestone toward our goal of complete worldwide coverage in all Navtech products,” said Mike Hulley, Navtech CEO. “The Russian Federation is an increasingly important and busy area of the world. Combining this new information with the expertise of the Navtech navigation data staff provides a powerful new level of service for our customers.”
