MySky has strengthened its position in the global business aviation technology market through the acquisition of the SAFEJETS Flight Time Limitations (FTL) platform, a move that significantly expands the company’s footprint in Turkey while broadening its operational software portfolio.
The acquisition marks an important milestone for MySky as it continues its international growth strategy, bringing one of Turkey’s most widely adopted crew management and flight scheduling platforms into its expanding ecosystem of aviation software solutions.
With the SAFEJETS FTL platform currently supporting more than 130 aircraft and holding approximately 90% market share within the Turkish business aviation sector, the transaction positions MySky as a major technology provider across one of the region’s most strategically important aviation markets.
A Strategic Gateway Between Europe and Asia
Turkey occupies a unique position within global aviation.
Situated at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, the country has emerged as an increasingly important hub for commercial and business aviation operators seeking access to multiple high-growth regions.
For MySky, the acquisition provides more than additional customers. It establishes a stronger operational presence in a market that serves as a bridge between several of the world’s most dynamic aviation corridors.
The move follows the company’s successful regional expansion into the United Arab Emirates through the opening of its Dubai office several years ago, further strengthening MySky’s presence across emerging aviation markets.
As business aviation activity continues to grow throughout the region, digital solutions that simplify crew management, operational planning, compliance monitoring, and financial oversight are becoming increasingly important for operators seeking greater efficiency and scalability.
Combining Local Expertise with Global Resources
Founded by aviation professional Tevfik Uyar, SAFEJETS has built a strong reputation among Turkish operators by providing tools that support:
- Crew management
- Flight scheduling
- Duty time monitoring
- Flight Time Limitations (FTL) compliance
- Operational planning
The platform has become a critical component of daily operations for many business aviation operators in Turkey, delivering functionality tailored to local market requirements while supporting regulatory compliance.
Under the acquisition agreement, MySky has confirmed that the FTL platform will remain fully operational for existing customers, ensuring continuity of service and minimizing disruption.
Importantly, Uyar will continue supporting the business during the coming years, helping facilitate a smooth transition while preserving the industry expertise and customer relationships that contributed to SAFEJETS’ success.
Commenting on the acquisition, Tevfik Uyar emphasized the opportunity to combine SAFEJETS’ local knowledge with MySky’s growing international capabilities.
“SAFEJETS has always stood for reliability and innovation in Turkish business aviation.”
“By joining forces with MySky, which is a revolution in the aviation industry, we are writing the next chapter of our FTL platform with more power, more people and more potential than ever, without losing the local touch and expertise.”
His comments highlight a key factor often associated with successful aviation technology acquisitions: maintaining regional knowledge while leveraging global scale and development resources.
Beyond Flight Scheduling
While Flight Time Limitations and crew scheduling remain at the heart of the SAFEJETS platform, MySky’s ambitions extend beyond traditional operational management software.
According to the company, the acquisition forms part of a broader strategy focused on building a more integrated digital ecosystem for aviation operators.
MySky plans to invest further in the platform’s development capabilities while increasing integrations with other aviation systems and services.
The objective is to deliver a more connected experience that combines operational management with financial and business intelligence tools.
Explaining the strategic vision behind the transaction, Kiril Kim, Co-Founder and CEO of MySky, noted that the opportunity extends well beyond scheduling functionality.
“Turkey is a dynamic and strategic market for MySky.”
“This is not just about scheduling. It’s about enabling operators with fully integrated tools for cost control, budgeting, quoting, and beyond. There is a lot more to come.”
The statement signals MySky’s intention to create a broader operational and financial platform capable of supporting multiple aspects of aircraft management and business aviation operations.
The Growing Importance of Integrated Aviation Software
The acquisition reflects a broader trend occurring throughout the aviation industry.
Historically, operators often relied on separate software applications for scheduling, crew management, budgeting, maintenance planning, trip support, and financial reporting.
This fragmented approach frequently resulted in duplicated data, disconnected workflows, and administrative inefficiencies.
Today, many operators are increasingly seeking integrated digital platforms that connect operational and financial functions within a single environment.
These systems can provide greater transparency into operational costs, improve resource utilization, support compliance, and enable more informed decision-making.
As business aviation fleets continue to expand and operational complexity increases, digital integration is becoming a critical competitive differentiator.
The SAFEJETS acquisition strengthens MySky’s ability to participate in this ongoing transformation.
Building on Recent Growth Momentum
The transaction follows a period of strong growth for MySky, which has continued expanding both geographically and through the capabilities offered across its platform.
Following the SAFEJETS acquisition, MySky now supports more than 1,500 subscribed aircraft worldwide, further reinforcing its position in the aviation technology sector.
The company has also attracted significant attention through customer success stories demonstrating the potential impact of digital transformation within business aviation.
One notable example involved U.S.-based operator Thrive Aviation, which reported substantial fleet growth after implementing MySky’s financial automation solutions.
Such examples are increasingly important as operators evaluate technology investments not simply as software purchases, but as strategic tools capable of supporting business growth and operational scalability.
Industry Perspective
The acquisition of SAFEJETS FTL highlights the increasing convergence between operational management software and broader aviation business platforms.
While flight scheduling and duty time compliance remain essential functions, operators are increasingly demanding systems capable of connecting operational performance with financial performance.
For MySky, the transaction provides immediate access to a highly established user base within Turkey’s business aviation community while adding specialized expertise in crew management and scheduling.
For existing SAFEJETS customers, the acquisition offers the prospect of increased development resources, enhanced system integrations, and access to a broader suite of operational and financial management capabilities.
More broadly, the deal reflects the ongoing consolidation occurring within the aviation technology sector as software providers seek to create unified platforms that simplify operations, improve visibility, and support data-driven decision-making.
As aviation continues its digital transformation journey, operators are looking for solutions that not only help them move aircraft efficiently but also manage the business behind every flight. MySky’s acquisition of SAFEJETS appears designed to address exactly that challenge, combining local market strength with an increasingly global vision for connected aviation software.
