What Conklin customers are saying.

Jetcraft has been using Conklin for many years and prior to my employment 19 years ago. I’ve handled our subscription for the 19 years that I’ve been with Jetcraft. I am impressed by the quick responses I receive when requesting access for new employees. After a request is made, employees have immediate access to the program. I also have direct contacts with the Conklin team which is very helpful in our industry. I appreciate their superb customer service.

Conklin has been instrumental in our ability to showcase different aircraft operating and lifecycle costs from an unbiased third-party perspective. The life-cycle cost analysis tool is particularly useful as it allows us to visualize future maintenance event costs for operators with variable aircraft utilization and timeframe.

I have been utilizing the resources available through Conklin for several years. The information available is invaluable when working on pricing contracts. Having so many details, regarding helicopters specifically, in one place saves hours of research.
