Polaris Aero – A Veryon Company
“We are thrilled to bring Polaris Aero’s proven safety solutions into the Veryon software suite,” said Bethany Little, Chief Executive Officer of Veryon. “It’s a pivotal step towards a better alignment between aviation safety and maintenance, enabling smarter and safer decisions across every phase of customers’ operations.”
The acquisition adds over 200 new customers to Veryon’s portfolio, further reinforcing its position as the aviation industry’s most comprehensive provider of maintenance software solutions. Polaris Aero’s products include VOCUS SMS, FlightRisk, and GroundRisk, which are widely used by corporate flight departments, charter operators, and MROs to streamline compliance, assess risk, and enhance operational safety.
The move also combines Polaris Aero’s de-identified data from 112,000+ safety reports, 32 million+ FlightRisk assessments, and 174 million+ flight hazards with Veryon’s dataset of 100 million+ maintenance events, creating the industry’s most extensive source of aviation safety and maintenance data. This expanded dataset will sharpen the accuracy and reach of Veryon AIRE, its AI-powered data intelligence platform, giving operators more precise insights into both safety risks and maintenance needs.
“Joining forces with Veryon is an exciting next chapter for Polaris Aero,” said Chris Connor, Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Aero. “Our mission has always been to help operators manage risk and streamline compliance through smarter safety programs. With Veryon, we can scale that mission even further, integrating safety and maintenance in ways that deliver more value, more efficiency, and ultimately, safer operations for our customers.”
In the short term, Polaris Aero will continue operating as its own business unit, with all current products, contracts, and support continuing unchanged. Over the coming months, both companies will carefully map out and implement their long-term integration plan. The end goal is to enable aircraft operators and maintainers to manage operations more safely and efficiently. Benefits will include:
- One partner, complete coverage: Customers will be able to access maintenance tracking, MRO management, safety management, and more from a single provider.
- Two teams, one point of contact: Polaris Aero’s safety specialists and Veryon’s maintenance specialists will support the same customer together, ensuring operators get more informed and aligned guidance.
- More data, better decisions: Polaris Aero’s and Veryon’s AI-powered tools will work hand in hand to connect safety insights with maintenance and reliability data.
- Streamlined compliance: AD/SB tracking, SMS reporting, and audit prep will be able to run across multiple solutions.
- Insights flow both ways: Safety data will more easily inform maintenance decisions, with maintenance data informing safety practices.
“Safety and maintenance have always been two sides of the same coin, but they’ve rarely been managed that way,” said Pete Bunce, former CEO of GAMA and Senior Advisor to Veryon. “Bringing Polaris Aero’s safety intelligence together with Veryon’s maintenance data gives operators a single, connected view of risk and reliability. That’s exactly the kind of data-driven decision-making our industry needs right now.”
