AERION PARTNERS WITH FLIGHT SAFETY
Aerion has announced plans to collaborate with Flight Safety International to develop a flight training academy for supersonic civil, commercial, and military aircraft. The announcement came as pre-orders ramp up for the company’s AS2 supersonic business jet. NetJets has taken options on 20 and the manufacturer says the deal brings its backlog to $10 billion. “Our strategy is to connect the very best partners in the world within a new mobility ecosystem optimized for speed and founded on sustainability,” said Aerion CEO Tom Vice. “In NetJets and FlightSafety International we have two such partners; both globally recognized leaders in their fields who share our passion for a new era of mobility that is both fast and at the same time kind to our planet.”
AIRVENTURE OFFERS EXPRESS ARRIVAL
AirVenture is getting ready for a COVID-safe event and a key initiative is something it’s calling Express Arrival. Those heading to the big show can buy their tickets and book their campsites in advance and they will be mailed free of charge. When patrons get to the grounds, there is no need to check in first and that should reduce congestion and lineups. “This will reduce crowding at key entry points, support our safety efforts by promoting social distancing, and improve the efficiency of the overall entry process. With Express Arrival, you’ll be able to bypass the admission windows and head straight to gates.” The offer is open until June 15 and patrons must have current EAA memberships valid until July 31, 2021.
