To support this effort, AVTi recently entered a joint venture with Boston-based Visidyne, a leader in the field of airborne and space data collection and processing. AVTi also signed two technological agreements, one with DATAFACE, from Houston, and one with Wan IT from Brussels, with plans to integrate their technology in the initial offering of AVTi products and to provide customer care and support for their markets.

Jean Genest, President of DATS and AVTi, has announced that he has selected International Consultant Yves. L. Leblicq to take the lead of AVTi. Yves brings a wealth of unique international experience both in Aviation and Information Technology. "I am proud to be part of Discovery Air and excited to take on the leadership of AVTi" said Yves Leblicq. "Software solutions play an important part in many facets of aviation and we believe our initial product offering will show Discovery Air as a key provider in that market".
