AFR Leadership Visit Albuquerque to Explore Expansion Opportunities in New Mexico

Airview Fire Recon (AFR) continues to expand its footprint across the United States, with CEO Stephen Brookes and U.S. President and Chief of Operations Harald Hohenthal recently visiting Albuquerque, New Mexico for a series of high-level meetings and strategic discussions.

The visit focused on exploring opportunities to bring AFR’s advanced ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and aerial mapping technologies to the state, supporting enhanced capabilities for wildfire management and emergency response.

During their time in Albuquerque, Brookes and Hohenthal met with representatives from the New Mexico Governor’s Office and local aircraft operators. They engaged in productive discussions about integrating AFR’s solutions into regional operations. These conversations provided valuable insight into the state's specific needs, challenges, and operational frameworks, helping to shape AFR’s future strategies and approach to operating in markets like New Mexico.

A key highlight of the visit was the opportunity to meet John Gould, CEO of 10 Tanker Air Carrier. The AFR team was also invited to tour the 10 Tanker facilities. This experience offered a deeper understanding of large-scale aerial firefighting operations and further strengthened connections within the industry.

Overall, the visit proved highly constructive, with meaningful dialogue and collaboration laying the groundwork for potential future partnerships and deployments. AFR looks forward to building on these discussions as it continues to bring its innovative technologies to new regions across the United States.
