Eagle's Wings Air Continues to Soar – FL State Association Endorses EWA Service Model
For those of you who may have missed it, long time sponsor and CD supporter, Eagle’s Wings Air is having quite the year!
EWA Chairman Dave McComb (also co-owner of D.O. McComb & Sons in Fort Wayne, IN) is profiled in this month’s issue of the American Funeral Director as “The Master Investor”. EWA President & CEO, Frank Kaiser was profiled and pictured on the cover of both the American Funeral Director magazine earlier this year and a major air transportation publication called Forward just last month. The company also announced major deals to serve both Inman Worldwide Shipping and Service Corp International (SCI) – arguably #1 & #2 with regard to the volume of air transportation of the deceased. And now, the largest trade association in Florida – the FCCFA, has now joined the bandwagon and endorsed the company and their innovative service model (see the FCCFA Press Release below).
