Group 3 Aviation Expands To Anchorage
A new helicopter flight training and commercial helicopter
service facility is set to open in Anchorage, Alaska. Van Nuys,
CA-based Group 3 Aviation has announced the grand opening of its
new, FAA Approved Part 141 flight training facility and Part 135
charter service, with Part 133 External load certification pending.
The new facilities will be open to the public at its Merrell Field
location on Saturday, October 16 from 1000 through 1700.
Group 3 Aviation Alaska is currently the only FAA Approved Part
141 helicopter flight training facility in Anchorage. In addition
to Schweizer 300CBi and R44 helicopter training, the new facility
will offer local aerial photo and film services through its close
relationship with production partner INDIE AERIALS LLC. Additional
services, such as financing, GI education benefits and Part 135
services, are planned once Part 135 Air Carrier certification is
obtained for the satellite facilities. FAA certification is already
in progress.
"The new facilities will provide the same expertise and
dedication our customers have grown to expect, whether it's
attending flight school or utilizing Group 3's commercial aerial
services," said Claudia Herrera, Vice President of Group 3
Aviation.
The customer-centric business has earned a global reputation for
excellence since its inception in 1993, with students trained
throughout the United States and as far away as South America,
Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Research
and exploration for its new location have been underway for more
than a decade, with site selection finalized in June of 2010.
