IS YOUR COMPANY PREPARED?
The Air Evacuation Plan (AEP) has been designed by ACS to assist companies based in hostile locations or areas susceptible to crisis situations. When a country or region a company is active in is under threat of attack, political uprising, natural disaster or epidemic, it is the company’s responsibility to ensure its personnel’s safety.
Some companies based in these high risk areas only have plans for getting their employees to one specific designated airport and fail to consider further evacuation arrangements.
We work closely with the Crisis Management Teams of many international corporations, across a wide range of industries, to better prepare them for any situation that may develop.
- What if the route to your designated airport is blocked and an alternative departure point is needed?
- What if the closest airport to your site is inoperable when your employees arrive?
- What if scheduled services you rely on are overbooked or have completely stopped operating?
- What if there is little or no last-minute charter availability within the region due to mass evacuation and you’ve acted too late?
- What if political restrictions to flights affect routes?
- What if urgent payment is required for an evacuation and you do not have a credit agreement in place?
