We are grateful to receive an award on the Worldwide Airlift Support Program (WASP) and look forward to continue serving the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Using non-standard aviation (NSAV) that leverages commercial air for DoD operations in expeditionary environments is a proven model for efficiently and effectively supporting the warfighter,” said Doug Kitani, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Erickson Incorporated.
