Mahindra delivers Airvan 8 in Alaska

 

Morwell, Australia – GippsAero Pty Ltd., the aircraft-manufacturing arm of Mahindra Aerospace, has delivered a second of its Airvan 8 aircraft to the fleet of Grant Aviation in Alaska.

 

The Airvan 8 is specifically engineered to meet the latest in international safety standards, and is suited for the often harsh conditions in Alaska where general aviation plays such a pivotal role in overall transportation. Its short take-off and landing capabilities are matched for places with semi-prepared runways.

 

Grant Aviation services over 100 communities throughout Alaska. Since its creation in 1971, Grant has been focused on providing safe, easy and comfortable travels to its many customers. As active members of the AACA (Alaska Air Carriers Association) Medallion Foundation, Grant Aviation has received several AACA Accident Free awards.

 

“We are proud that Grant Aviation would choose our Airvan 8 for their fleet,” said Keith Douglas, CEO GippsAero. “When a company this well respected for customer service and, most importantly, safety, chooses our aircraft, we know we’re doing it right. Our team on the ground is in place and ready to do our part to support them in every way we can – parts, tech, customer service – and live up to their already excellent reputation.”

 

This aircraft, along with their first Airvan 8 delivered in January 2014, were sold through Airvan Alaska in Anchorage.
