In-flight map provider FlightPath3D has expanded its leadership team to support growth within the organisation ahead of AIX. Additionally, the company has expanded its engineering operations in Portugal and will be moving its Irvine, California headquarters in early 2026 to a space triple the size, with engineering labs and client collaboration areas.
Firstly, Prashant Vyas has been appointed as Vice President, Middle East, where he will manage regional growth and airline partnerships. Vyas has previously worked at Thales, Safran Passenger Innovations, and Panasonic Avionics.
Howie Lewis has also joined as Vice President of Business Aviation, bringing experience from leadership roles at Gogo, Airshow, and EMS Satcom.
Finally, Ross Derham has been appointed as Director of Product Management. Derham has a wealth of experience in aerospace and 3D platforms, including positions at Boeing and Meta.
“The inflight map remains the foundation of our company, but the opportunity ahead is far broader,” said President Duncan Jackson. “We are building intelligent capabilities around that core experience, backed by broad data resources and AI-driven analysis, to strengthen how airlines and operators engage passengers throughout the journey.”
“We are constantly pushing boundaries on what is possible with the inflight map experience and are committed to continuing that innovative streak,” commented CEO Boris Veksler. “Our expanded facilities and strengthened executive bench ensure we can meet the evolving needs of airlines, business aviation operators, and OEM partners worldwide.”
