Billed As First Executive International Helicopter Service

Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and its subsidiary Associated Aircraft Group recently announced to the nation's business aircraft industry the launch of AAG Global, an executive helicopter service providing the industry's highest level of service and reliability to travelers around the world.

"AAG Global will be providing the industry's first executive helicopter service to clients traveling internationally," said AAG Global Executive VP Tom McQuade. "Travelers will be assured seamless access to the most efficient travel no matter where in the world their travels take them."

The announcement was made during last week's National Business Aviation Association convention and trade show in Orlando, FL.

The international network of AAG Global Member/Operators fly Sikorsky S-76 helicopters, and must meet and maintain AAG Global Standards of Excellence for safety and service. The standards were developed exclusively for AAG Global and will be audited by Aviation Research Group/US, Inc. (ARG/US).

AAG Global executives say the standards address every aspect of service from the interior accoutrements of the aircraft to client personal preferences in onboard catering. Pilot qualifications, ease of flight reservations, safety inspections and timeliness in departures and arrivals are but a few of the Standards of Excellence provided by AAG Global Member/Operators.

"The bottom line is that executive travelers now have a resource that assures them a consistent level of service and ease of making their travel reservations no matter where in the world they travel," continued McQuade. "We've recognized that the most effective way to deliver the level of quality executive travelers demand is to link established operators who can meet and maintain the rigorous standards expected by executive travelers."

The AAG Global network will adhere to service and business practices perfected over a period of two decades of success by Associated Aircraft Group (AAG), metropolitan New York's only integrated services helicopter group.
