Over 50 Corporate Pilots Attended Conference
The first AgustaWestland Italian Corporate Pilot Conference was
held at the Company's Cascina Costa facility in mid-January, and
was deemed a great success by those attending.
The event was attended by over 50 corporate pilots -- almost all
of them flying AgustaWestland helicopter types, according to the
company -- and provided a forum for both the company and pilots to
discuss and exchange views on operational, product and safety
matters.
During the workshop-based conference, opened by Giuseppe Orsi,
CEO, and Renzo Lunardi, Senior Vice President Commercial Business
Unit, AgustaWestland presented the latest changes to its Commercial
Business Unit and Customer Support organizations' processes
intended to further enhance the services and responsiveness to
customers in the corporate sector.
Other topics discussed during the Conference comprised
performance and safety issues related to Category 'A' operations,
training, new technologies, product developments, regulatory issues
and the latest customization options.
The two-day conference also involved other company sites in
Italy including Vergiate where final assembly of the AW109 Power,
Grand and AW139 helicopters is located and Sesto Calende the home
of the AgustaWestland 'Training Academy.'
The success of this event has already led to the establishment
by attendees of the 'AgustaWestland Italian Corporate Pilot Club'
to allow them to continue to exchange information on operational
issues and other areas of common interest.
