It sounds like the glider market was just too small for their liking (500 vs 15,000):

After eight successful years, AIR Avionics presents the sale of the AIR Glide product family by the manufacturer triadis at the end of the year. AIR Glide is a modular family of innovative glider systems, over 500 units have been sold in recent years. The new live wind calculation, the high quality Hardware and the innovative user guidance of the systems set standards and enjoy an excellent reputation among many happy users. The AIR Glide hardware
and large parts of the software were developed by triadis in Switzerland and
supervised, AIR Avionics supplied software components for the navigation displays and took care of marketing and service.
"There are many reasons for our withdrawal from the glider calculator market
how consistent. ”says Johannes Garrecht, Managing Director of AIR Avionics. "We
focus on our core business. AIR Avionics stands for approved, high quality
Avionics systems from our own development, which can be used in all areas of aviation and make flying safer. We therefore analyze all business areas
structural dependencies that prevent us from this and separate us from them.. For Air Glide despite intensive efforts, we were unable to offer products of the highest customer service level. However, this is essential for us to sell to our customers, so unfortunately we have to refrain from continuing to offer AIR Glide. "
A potential further development outside of AIR Avionics' participation is currently under way in discussion at triadis. Repairs and service will continue to be provided by triadis.
AIR Avionics will continue to use existing customers over the coming years
supported by AIR Glide as much as possible. The company still offers today
extensive service for products that were made in the 1990s, i.e. over 20 years ago.
AIR Avionics wants to support interested parties and the open source community,
gain further knowledge and software components. Furthermore AIR
Avionics are trying to ensure that triadis does this after the commercial expires
Recycling of the product family is the same. "It is important to us that we do it sustainably can help ensure that the technologies used are retained for gliding ” adds Tobias Fetzer, Head of Development at AIR Avionics.
