AirSprint proudly sponsors Girls Can Fly! A Celebration of Women in Aviation

One of AirSprint’s key tenants is to be a good corporate citizen. To give back to the communities we live in while also fostering relationships through respect and fairness. That is why we are thrilled to be a sponsor of the Girls Can Fly: A Celebration of Women in Aviation event taking place Saturday, May 11 at the Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre in Breslau, Ontario.

We’re very fortunate to have a number of talented female pilots flying our Embraer Legacy 450s and Citation CJ2+s / CJ3+s. For most of our pilots, the desire to fly started at a young age.

We invite you to click HERE to read a few stories from some of AirSprint’s female pilots.

AIRSPRINT TAKES PART IN THE PACIFIC AUTISM FAMILY NETWORK’S ‘FIRST FLIGHT PROGRAM’

AirSprint is about families, about connecting and making lasting memories. Hence why we are all thrilled to have partnered with the Pacific Autism Family Network‘s “FIRSTS” initiative which provides families of children on the autism spectrum with a unique opportunity to try flying for the first time. The kids and their families had a one-on-one chance to meet the pilots and tour the aircraft prior to the 30-minute flight that took them out to Whistler, B.C. and back. We were incredibly fortunate to share Braedon (13), Cloe (10) and Leo’s (5) first flying experience!

Thank you for letting us take part of this special day, and to Catherine Urquhart and Global BC for capturing this special moment.
