Flightcom

Flightcom, based in Portland, Oregon, USA, has been a leader in improving communications both in the air and on the ground for over 35 years. Founded on a passion for aviation and technology, Flightcom strives to create solutions that allow pilots, passengers, and teams around the world to hear and be heard in the most demanding environments.
Flightcom was founded when Brian VanderPloeg, inspired by his difficulties in hearing his flight instructor during his training to obtain his private pilot's license, used his engineering skills to develop advanced intercom systems. An active member of the Experimental Aircraft Association, Brian quickly identified a market for his innovative aviation intercom products.
Accompanied by his wife Jane, his business partner, Brian transformed Flightcom into a company offering a wide range of technologically advanced, affordable communication products. The success was swift: in the 1990s, Flightcom experienced a spectacular 1,325% growth over five years, becoming the preferred choice of hundreds of thousands of private pilots and their passengers.
Flightcom relies on its exclusive DECT7® Wireless technology to improve communication efficiency, increase productivity, and prevent accidents on airport ramps and anywhere aircraft or ground personnel are present. This state-of-the-art wireless technology is integrated into a diverse range of headsets and communication systems, used not only in general aviation but also by commercial and military aviation, including major companies like Alaska and United Airlines.
Today, Flightcom is part of Sonetics Corporation, a company that has created several brands, including Firecom, to meet communication needs in various environments such as fire services, emergency response, construction, public works, manufacturing, maritime, and industry. The commitment to customers and the ongoing mission to provide the best communication solutions to ensure the productivity, safety, and efficiency of teams in challenging environments remains at the heart of Flightcom's values.
What started in the VanderPloegs' Portland garage is now a rapidly growing company, supported by dedicated employees serving customers in North America and worldwide. The strong entrepreneurial spirit continues to drive the company's growth, while maintaining a constant commitment to technological innovation and customer satisfaction. Flightcom remains at the forefront of aviation and industrial communications, offering solutions that meet the highest demands of its users.
