DAA To Help Firm Explore Growth Strategies

In connection with the annual bizav get-togther, Downing Aviation Associates (DAA) announced it has signed a contract with Lakeside Aviation LLC to define, initiate, and implement growth strategies.

"Lakeside represents the type of business that we're specifically organized to help," noted Darrel Downing, DAA's CEO. "It is an entrepreneurial company that has both the inclination and basis for growth. Its management team recognized that DAA can provide valuable insights into its markets and operations. We're looking forward to helping them expand their aviation business opportunities," he added.

"We have contracted with Downing Aviation Associates on previous occasions and have found them to be very knowledgeable and accurate in their assessment of the aviation marketplace," said Scott Wilson, Lakeside Aviations' president. "When we decided to explore additional aviation-related opportunities we chose DAA to evaluate our approach and introduce potential projects and to assist us in their implementation and eventual completion, as well."

Lakeside Aviation is a subsidiary of the Erie Management Group of Erie, PA.
