Airport Will Open To Corporate Aviation On October 15th

To meet new regulations that require law enforcement officers on all incoming and outgoing business aircraft at Reagan National Airport, Jet Professionals says it's making ready to provide clients with security services.

An aviation staffing service and a division of the Jet Aviation Group, Jet Professionals is hiring law enforcement officers as Reagan National Airport prepares to accept general aviation flights for the first time since September 11th, 2001.

Jet Professionals says it will assign law enforcement officers to accompany clients traveling to Reagan, the only airport that currently requires this security measure. The company also is finalizing plans to extend the service to clients who wish to be escorted by a qualified security professional while traveling to other airports.

"Jet Professionals upholds stringent safety standards when screening and selecting crewmembers to staff our clients' flights," said Linda Herzog, vice president, Jet Professionals. "We felt that we should leverage our expertise to provide this service as a way to assist with the security efforts underway at Reagan."

Herzog said clients are already expressing a high level of interest in the new service. Jet Professionals has received more than 550 responses from interested officers, she said. General aviation flights to and from Reagan National Airport are slated to resume October 15, 2005 and Jet Professionals anticipates having 500 qualified law enforcement officers ready to fly.
