Jetaire CEO, Michael Williams, celebrates the adoption of INVICTA by both airlines, stating, "Our INVICTA technology continues to see accelerated adoption by commercial and corporate operators due to it's maintenance-free design, low cost of ownership, and industry leading warranty."

Commitment to Safety
By implementing Jetaire's INVICTA flammability reduction means, Nolinor and Canadian North are taking proactive steps to enhance the safety of their Boeing 737 fleet.
