"We're pleased with our continued growth in market share and sales in our commercial markets – we now have all eight of the largest North American airlines, and more than 60 airports (including 24 of the top 30 North American airports) as customers – and the deeper penetration of our traffic management and collaboration platform into many more organizations," said Jim Barry, President and CEO of PASSUR Aerospace.

The PASSUR collaborative platform now extends across the local, regional, national, and global levels.
