AERO ALLIANCE fly General Aviation aircraft, specialised at getting you to and from small airports in remote places like Lugano in the Alps from Shoreham Airport. Here you will not find find low cost carriers, nor will you find the long delays associated with security and checking in. However, to ensure one of our clients made Lugano for a 2 hour meeting and back to Shoreham in a day, AERO ALLIANCE took the shortcut over Alps cutting the flight time down to 3.5 hours. This meant the crew and passenger had to take oxygen for the short 30 minutes hop over the Swiss Alps at 16,000ft.

From 12,000ft of altitude, judgement, memory, alertness, coordination and the ability to make calculations are impared. To overcome this pilots at AERO ALLIANCE are fully trained to ensure there is sufficient oxygen is on board and the system is working prior to departure. Furthermore, all passengers on the aircraft are fully briefed on how to use the oxygen system.

Although this is standard practice, AERO ALLIANCE use two crew for this kind of operation for additional safety reasons just in case Hypoxia in advertently affects the passenger or either crew member. Safety and service are our number one priorities when you fly with AERO ALLIANCE.
