Description

The Environment Agency is seeking to appoint a high quality, proactive supplier for all its aircraft, pilot and ancillary services requirements. We seek an innovative aircraft partner able to provide two suitably modified aircraft and all support requirements on a 24/7 basis. We need an experienced operator of survey or similar aircraft, able to plan, resource and operate aircraft to deliver a challenging programme of survey and incident response. The survey we perform involves risk at many levels and we seek a partner able to foresee, mitigate and share in that risk. Our survey is best in class for operational remote sensing and we seek an aircraft partner who aspires to similar levels of performance.
