About Flight Data Intelligence
Flight Data Intelligence (FDI) is a software- and services-oriented organisation focused on flight data monitoring, safety analytics, and operational insight. Value is delivered through accurate data processing, timely analysis, and clear interpretation—rather than through certified hardware development.

- Designing, executing, and improving testing practices.
- Collaborating closely with analysts, developers, and internal stakeholders to validate functionality.
- Reproducing customer-reported issues and ensuring releases meet business and operational needs.
