Brings More Than 20 Aircraft To The Humanitarian
Organization
Wayfarer Aviation announced
recently it would be joining the Corporate Angel Network (CAN).
Through the alliance with the nonprofit charitable organization,
Wayfarer will be joining the ranks of more than 530 corporate
flight departments providing free travel on empty legs to
critically ill cancer patients in need of medical treatment.
Based in White Plains, New York, Corporate Angel Network
occupies an office donated by the Westchester County Airport. 50
part-time volunteers and five paid staff work with patients,
physicians, corporations, flight departments and leading treatment
facilities to arrange 2,500 flights a year. Wayfarer manages over
20 aircraft including Gulfstream, Global Express, Falcon,
Challenger, Learjet, Hawker-Beechcraft, and Cessna aircraft
domestically and internationally and is headquartered in Rye Brook,
NY, with Principal Base of Operations in Weymouth,
Massachussets.
In business aviation, empty legs occur at least 20 percent of
the time. CAN will receive automated feeds from the Wayfarer fleet
schedule daily into the CAN scheduling system. If any of the legs
match, CAN will contact Wayfarer to coordinate a trip for one of
their patients.
“Wayfarer views its Corporate Angel Network alliance as
part of a long-term commitment to corporate social
responsibility,” said Bill Koch, CEO of Wayfarer Aviation,
Inc. “We recognize that every empty leg is a potential
opportunity to give back.”
