AeroKool, Coopesa & Getting Things Done

ARSA’s Annual Conference serves many purposes, but is first and foremost a working week. Attendees will coordinate with industry colleagues, engage with congressional leaders and cooperate with regulatory officials.

This year, the association is grateful to Platinum Sponsors AeroKool Aviation Corporation and Coopesa, R.L. for supporting that work in two important ways. AeroKool’s support will make the grassroots engagement of Legislative Day (Wednesday, March 11) possible. The Coopesa-sponsored “digital companion” will ensure every attendee has the tools they need to make the most of every day of conference week.

Since 1959, AeroKool has earned a global reputation for quality in pneumatic heat transfer valves, pumps and environmental control units. Learn more at aerokool.com.

Coopesa has more than 57 years of experience providing of major maintenance inspections, modifications, upgrades, refurbishments and painting services for America´s airlines and leasing companies. Learn more at coopesa.com.

The support of these companies will be evident to everyone in attendance from March 10-13. The resources and opportunity AeroKool and Coopesa provide will surely follow those participants home and help continue the good work of the Conference. See what that work will look like by reviewing the entire four-day schedule on the event page.

ARSA is grateful to its 2020 Annual Conference Gold Sponsors. Each company’s support for the event is a continued demonstration of ongoing commitment to the association. See what their sponsorship will provide to this year’s attendees…

Informed Advocacy

For the second year in a row, Aircraft Electric Motors and Component Repair Technologies have provided Legislative Day attendees with some very important reading material: congressional directories from AEM and legislative priorities brochures from CRT.

Aircraft Electric Motors was established in 1972 and has since provided the absolute best in the rewind and repair of all types of aircraft electrical components, while not competing with accessory shops or other customers it serves.  Learn more at www.aem.us.

Component Repair Technologies was founded in Mentor, Ohio in 1985. The company retains its innovative founding principles as the core its success.  Learn more at componentrepair.com.

Thanks to AEM and CRT for helping ensure Legislative Day attendees will be well prepared on March 11.

Hearty Meals

The Annual Conference always promises a “full plate” in terms of activity, information and engagement. Thanks to First Aviation Services, Columbia Helicopters and Delta TechOps, the 2020 event will also include full plates of breakfast and lunch.

A division of Delta Air Lines, Delta TechOps is a full-service aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul provider with more than 11,000 seasoned professionals system-wide. Learn more at www.deltatechops.com.

First Aviation Services, Inc. is a leading provider of repair and overhaul, rotables management and related engineering services to the worldwide aviation industry. Learn more at www.firstaviation.com.

From logging and construction to disaster relief and defense to forestry and firefighting, no job is too big or too tough for Columbia. Learn more at www.colheli.com.

Each of these three companies supports the association year-round. They attend events, actively participate in advocacy efforts, utilize online training, recruit additional members and provide insight to ARSA’s leadership team. Two are currently represented on the Board of Directors and none is a stranger to the Conference sponsor list.

This year, we can thank each of them for a hearty meal: Delta TechOps for breakfast on Thursday, March 12, which will kick off the Symposium portion of the Conference; First Aviation for lunch later that day, which will include a speech by IATA’s Daniel Kanter; and Columbia for breakfast on Friday, March 13, which attendees will finish while participating in ARSA 2020 President Ian Cheyne’s “State of the Association” address.
