Drum Cussac Unveils Business Aviation Security Package
New Product Designed Specifically for Business Aviation Operators
Houston, TX, April 2008
Drum Cussac, a leading security and risk management firm, announced today that it has launched a new security package targeted specifically to Business Aviation. The product, dubbed Athene™, combines a variety of resources for flight departments including on-site training, monthly threat briefings, global situational alerts and destination-specific reports.
“Security and risk assessment continue to be major factors for business travelers, particularly those traveling internationally,” said Jeremy Stampa Orwin, CPP*, Founder & Managing Director of Drum Cussac. “While Drum Cussac already has a number of products and services for the aviation industry, the introduction of Athene will allow business aviation operators access to our expertise at an extremely efficient price point.”
To offer this comprehensive security package, Drum Cussac has formed an alliance with Strategic Resources Group International (SRG), a pioneer in providing security-related services to the business aviation industry. Peter Taylor, Senior Partner at SRG, said of the alliance, “Drum Cussac is extremely well-respected in the security industry worldwide, recognized for their expertise and innovative approach to delivering security improvements to business operations. SRG has spent the last 13 years providing security training and related services to major airframe manufacturers and operators. Collectively, we offer a formidable security product.”
SRG will provide the initial on-site training portion of Athene, consisting of a one to two-day training course focusing on security measures, security awareness practices and other key risk management tools. Drum Cussac will provide the on-going educational and awareness resources as well as advice and consul on specific situations and destinations.
“Athene will give the business aviation operator the tools and resources to conduct safe, secure flight operations around the world,” added Mike Sowa, a principal with Drum Cussac’s U.S. subsidiary. “It will also help companies comply with the security initiatives being implemented by the U.S and other countries.”
“In today’s world, training and knowledge are everything,” concluded SRG’s Taylor. “Athene will give business aviation operators what they need—from wheels up to when they are safely back home.”
