Simulated Hijacking Part Of U.S., Russia Exercise

Jet Charter Company Participates In Joint Training Scenario

A Challenger 604 was crossing the Bering Sea sometime in August when the aircraft stopped responding to communications. As a result, the FAA and TSA notified the U.S. military, and fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the plane. Russia also launched aircraft, and the two governments coordinated together to prevent a potential terrorist attack. Fortunately, the hijacking was a simulation ... part of a joint training exercise between the U.S. and Russia.

Charter jet company CSI Aviation Services arranged the aircraft for the simulated hijacking exercise between the two nations. “This is just one example of how CSI continues to assist the federal government in chartering and leasing aircraft,” said Gretchen Collins, Vice President of Special Contracts and Business Development. “The U.S. government trusts CSI because of our experience and dependability. The government knows that each time it uses CSI for our services, we deliver the results they are looking for.”

Since 1990, CSI says it has played an integral part in the federal government air transportation system. Every year, a number of government agencies rely on CSI for their day-to-day flight requirements.

CSI’s government contracts include managed air charter transportation services, on-demand domestic and international charter flights, aircraft purchase as well as wet and dry leasing.
