News from one of our partners: Bel Air Aviation

It's already been a year since we took over the reins of Bel Air Aviation.

This past year has been marked by challenges, many proud moments, but above all by a profound feeling: that of contributing to a story bigger than ourselves. ✈️💙
This is our first anniversary, but many others were celebrated before we arrived. We would like to thank Mr. Alfred Jr. St-Onge, whose passion, vision, and resilience allowed us to take up the mantle of a well-established company, and above all, a leading name in the world of aviation.

Bel Air Aviation is much more than a company: it's a legacy. Every day, we remind ourselves how privileged we are to continue this adventure that many before us built.

This is just the continuation of many other great years! Discover the story that has been unfolding since 1965: 👉 https://belairaviation.com/historique/ .
