The aviation industry is witnessing a groundbreaking transformation with the launch of Vellox Group, a fully unified software platform designed to streamline operations and enhance safety for aviation operators worldwide. Vellox Group integrates the capabilities of four historically independent, market-leading businesses: Spidertracks, Air Maestro, Flight Vector, and Complete Flight. This merger positions Vellox Group as the most capable aviation software provider, delivering comprehensive solutions for various sectors, including medical, industrial, public safety, energy, tourism, defense, charter, and government aviation.
A Unified Vision for the Future of Aviation Technology
Aleksandra Banas, formerly the CEO of Air Maestro and Spidertracks, now leads Vellox Group as its CEO. Bernie Berg, the founder and CEO of Complete Flight, takes on the role of Chief Product Officer, while Scot Cromer, the founder and CEO of Flight Vector, transitions to the Board of Directors.
“We have blended some of the industry’s best solutions into a cohesive platform that drives unprecedented efficiency and safety,” said Aleksandra Banas. “This is not just a collection of tools—it’s an integrated solution designed to meet the global demands of today’s leading aviation operators.”

Commitment to Long-Term Growth and Investment
Unlike private-equity-backed competitors burdened by short-term financial strategies, Vellox Group benefits from the long-term vision and financial stability of its parent company, Arcadea Group. As a permanent owner, Arcadea Group is committed to sustained innovation and customer success without the disruptions caused by business sales or strategic pivots.
“As the only permanent owner of aviation software businesses, we prioritize long-term innovation and customer health over short-term motives,” said Paul Yancich, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Arcadea Group.
Arcadea Group has committed an additional $20 million in funding to Vellox Group, ensuring the company can aggressively pursue its ambitious growth plans and continue refining its aviation solutions.
Ensuring a Seamless Transition for Customers
Integrating four leading aviation software brands into a single entity required extensive planning and execution. Vellox Group has been operating as a unified platform for the past four months with minimal operational disruptions.
“Merging four trusted brands into a single entity required meticulous planning,” said Bernie Berg, Chief Product Officer of Vellox Group. “The good news is that our customers are already experiencing the benefits of a fully integrated solution, without any major operational disturbances.”
A Roadmap for Future Innovation
Vellox Group’s vision extends beyond its current capabilities. The company aims to provide the world’s most trusted solutions for safe, efficient, and compliant air operations, with plans to expand into ground-based transportation technologies as well.
“Our vision is to provide the world’s most trusted solutions for safe, efficient, and compliant air—and increasingly ground—operations,” said Berg.
With a strategic product roadmap, long-term capital investment, and a growing customer base, Vellox Group is poised to become the aviation industry’s most trusted and capable partner.
