SMS consulting firm Aviation Safety Solutions and security provider Corporate Aviation Security International (CASI) have formed a strategic partnership designed to address a significant security shortfall in the corporate aviation industry.

“Over the last two years our clients have expressed a strong desire for a more formal and comprehensive approach to security solutions when it comes to travelling with their teams around the globe. And recently, that need has been underscored dramatically by current events,” says Amanda Ferraro, CEO of Aviation Safety Solutions. “Our partnership brings a whole new perspective and set of solutions to the industry that hasn't been addressed holistically before.”

The new partnership leverages Aviation Safety Solutions' expertise in SMS implementation and management alongside CASI's proven capabilities in vulnerability assessments, training and consulting to include travel support. Together, the organisations will provide comprehensive solutions to address the increasing challenges faced by flight departments, executives and aviation professionals in a dangerous world.

“In today's environment, security risk vulnerabilities and safety are more interconnected than ever,” continues Ferraro. “Partnering with CASI allows us to integrate proven disaster mitigation security measures into our SMS frameworks, ensuring our clients receive robust, end-to-end safety and security solutions aimed at today's threats.”

CASI was created in response to the severe lack of proactive security procedures and resources required for flight departments to operate successfully around the globe. Today, it discreetly provides specialised services and tailored strategies to protect high-profile individuals, executives and their families, and aircrew and aircraft during travel. The services include detailed threat assessments, training, vetting ground transportation and expert team members experienced in managing threats in high-risk environments.

“We developed these proactive support services to help mitigate the real and constant threats faced by executives and their flight departments during global operations,” reveals Daniel Foust, founder of CASI. “Our goal is to deliver proven solutions and consistent support, enabling our clients to focus on their missions with confidence and peace of mind.”
