PACE is proud to announce a major milestone in our mission to optimize global flight operations: the full acquisition of the SmartRoutes® (SR) division’s assets and intellectual property. Formerly a division of Nexteon Technologies, Inc., SmartRoutes® is now a proprietary pillar of the PACE ecosystem. For our airline partners, this transition from partnership to full ownership means deeper synergy, a consolidated roadmap, and a commitment to long-term innovation under one roof.
Why This Matters for Airlines
The integration of SmartRoutes® into our FPO-SR premium solution is no longer just a technical connection—it is now a native synergy. By bringing the SR codebase and development directly in-house, PACE provides airlines with a more robust, high-fidelity trajectory modeling platform.
SmartRoutes®: Real-Time Precision, Now Powered by PACE
This technology dynamically improves aircraft routing during flight by leveraging real-time data and operational constraints. As a core part of the PACE DNA, the SR capability allows airlines to:
Reduce Fuel Consumption: Optimize every nautical mile in real-time.A Unified Vision for FPO-SR
By incorporating the SmartRoutes® roadmap directly into the FPO-SR platform, PACE is strengthening its ability to deliver smarter, more sustainable solutions. This move ensures that we have total control over the development cycle, allowing us to prioritize the features that matter most to our airline customers.
This acquisition reinforces PACE’s position as a leader in aviation software, delivering owned, innovative solutions that drive both operational excellence and environmental responsibility
