Switzerland-headquartered Elite Simulation Solutions is celebrating a long-standing relationship with SRK Aviacom, its authorised dealer in India.

Aviacom has been specialising in aircraft and flight simulator sales, installation and maintenance support on the Indian subcontinent for 15 years. Its main customers are civilian and military operators and its highly qualified specialists are available 24/7 to help customers with advice and technical assistance.

Aviacom managing director captain Sanjay Kumar says: "With innovation at the heart of our company culture, we pioneered the flight simulators in 2007 and became the first company in India to introduce glass cockpit trainer aircraft and flight simulators. Since then, we have been on a successful business journey, creating a future through our best machines for both civil and air force pilots."

At around the same time in 2007, Elite decided to appoint Aviacom as its sole dealer in India. The two companies have jointly participated in a number of air shows across the country and worked on obtaining Indian DGCA approval for the simulators.

Elite sales manager René Huddlestone says: "We've been delighted to work with Aviacom over the last 15 years and are looking forward to many more productive years ahead of us."

Aviacom project head Shruti Mehrotra adds: "The long-standing relationship with Elite has had a profound impact on the business of people. Whether it be simulators or maintenance support, we provide our clients with the best simulators and the most professional support, with high tech and low cost simulation all over India. The business relationship between both of the companies plays a key role in ensuring product quality and business growth of our customers.

'We feel a sense of pride in having helped so many of our clients grow their business through our products and services. Even though we faced challenging periods of uncertainty during the Covid pandemic, we also had many reasons to feel grateful. For example, we installed several flight simulators and provided maintenance support for various FTOs, academies, training centres and even the Indian Air Force. This could not have been possible without the support of our partner Elite and its outstanding team."

"The future is looking bright for both companies," says Huddlestone. "We have now also involved Aviacom in the servicing of the PC-7MkII Pilatus FTDs."
