GSA’s On-Demand Airline Upgrades Safety and Hires New Pilots

(Greenville, SC: August 4, 2011) – Greenville’s own Venture Aviation is upgrading its existing Safety Management System to include a Flight Risk Analysis procedure and other tools to enhance its commitment to safety, both on the ground and in the air.

Venture launched a Safety program years ago and has been improving their practices and procedures ever since. We have made a significant investment in our company and its culture to make safety our number one priority says David Knoblauch, Venture Aviation Group’s owner. From choreographed procedures and disciplined routines which when combined with our training, and risk and hazard analysis makes for a sound, prudent but cautious approach to our services. We will continue to always look for new ways to promote safety and its rewards.

Also, Venture has completed a total restoration of the only Super King Air 350 in South Carolina for executive charter. The nine-seat aircraft underwent a 10-week transformation which included improved avionics, new paint, new interior and engines that were modernized to standards that will allow them to operate for 3,600 more hours.

Venture is also proud to announce the addition of two new Flight officers and a Facilities/Maintenance technician to its growing organization. Knoblauch said that our programs and philosophy required more people to guarantee the service and safety our Customers demand.

Venture Aviation, which obtained its FAA Certification as an on-demand air carrier in 1999, operates a diverse fleet including two 4-passenger Beech Baron aircraft, typically used as an alternative to spending all day driving to and from a sales presentation. Businesses use Venture’s three King Air turbo-props to close sales in the morning; then stop off once or twice on the way home to visit current customers and to shore up accounts. “And when you get the call to ‘come at once,’” said Knoblauch, “our Citation business jet is the answer, offering the most speed and non-stop range in our fleet.”
