FTG Achieves Another Major Milestone with EASA Certification for Edge+ on Airbus A319/320/321 Family of Aircraft
July 22, 2025 | FTG AerospaceEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Firan Technology Group Corporation announced that a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) has been awarded by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the AFIRS Edge+™ product on the Airbus A319/320/321 family of aircraft.
This milestone certification clears the path for global deployment of FLYHT’s 5G Wireless Quick Access Recorder (WQAR) on one of the world’s most widely used commercial airframes.
“The Edge+ approval for the Airbus family of aircraft, in addition to the previously announced approval for Boeing 737 NG aircraft paves way for global installations of the industry’s first 5G Wireless QAR plug-and-play solution and a key part of our plan to create value from the FLYHT acquisition,” said Brad Bourne, President & CEO of FTG. “Edge+ replaces aging 2G and 3G recorders with a true 5G platform, ensuring airlines can continue to leverage real-time aircraft data for safety, operational efficiency, and innovation. We look forward to working closely with our airline partners to integrate Edge+ seamlessly into their fleets.”
The AFIRS Edge+ is a direct, plug-and-play replacement for legacy WQAR systems that are reaching end-of-life as older cellular networks sunset. As the industry’s first 5G-enabled WQAR, the AFIRS Edge+ delivers the bandwidth and reliability required to meet next-generation data demands—from advanced predictive analytics to reducing ACARS costs. With this EASA approval in hand, FTG will expand regulatory compliance to additional jurisdictions in the coming months, enabling broader market access for Edge+ across Airbus A319/320/321 operators worldwide.
