Washington, DC, July 14, 2021 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (acsfdev.com), a non-profit aviation safety organization with 260 member companies, welcomes its newest member, Fly Louie (flylouie.com). Fly Louie is a growing consortium of 200+ charter operators dedicated to increasing member growth and savings opportunities throughout the lifecycle of their businesses by leveraging the power of scale.
“The Fly Louie Alliance is a network of experienced and committed operators who value access to top resources to run their businesses safely, efficiently, and effectively,” said Julia Takeda, Fly Louie CEO. “Each of the Alliance operators takes safety seriously, and we know that providing support to them in their continuous effort to expand their safety infrastructure is a crucial pillar to the Alliance offering.”
“Joining the ACSF and aligning our efforts with this terrific organization further strengthens our ability to provide resources and support to our operators to ensure that safety is always first,” Takeda continued. “The ACSF’s safety programs serve an important role in helping operators augment their safety procedures and comply with upcoming regulations from the FAA. By reinforcing their safety programs, operators serve their bottom line too—alleviating the growing cost of insurance and enabling them to access new sources of demand.”
ACSF’s President, Bryan Burns, says he’s enthusiastic about Fly Louie’s new membership. “As a large consortium, Fly Louie represents thousands of aviation professionals, all of whom recognize the critical importance of a safety focus. The ACSF is proud to help facilitate their safety initiatives and programs into actionable measures.”
