Turkey-based charter operator and flight training academy Vizyon (Vision) Aviation has signed up for another module of Entropol’s Safejets software platform. Adding Safejet MS to its Safejets FTL subscription will help Vizyon Aviation manage quality, compliance, and safety workflows. Now 17 operators are using Safejets MS and more than 50 companies are Safejets subscribers.
A part of Çam Group, Vizyon Aviation was founded in 2014. Its charter operation flies three Cessna Citation 560s, one Citation Sovereign, and a Falcon 900EX EASy. The company also provides hangar storage at Esenboğa International Airport (LTAC) in Ankara as well as MRO services under its Turkey Directorate General of Civil Aviation Part 145 authorization.
“Choosing a unified platform across operations and management systems is how aviation organizations turn data into integrated solutions,” said Tevfik Uyar, CEO of Entropol. “With Safejets FTL and Safejets MS working together, operators like Vizyon Aviation gain a centered approach—reducing risk, strengthening compliance, and elevating safety culture.”
