UAS International Trip Support has forged three new partnerships in the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen its foothold in the region and further increase its service levels. T&T Aviation has been announced as UAS’s preferred commercial aviation partner in Vietnam. The company specializes in ground handling and other flight planning services. The new partnership means that UAS will have a dedicated on-site supervisor at all airports.

Additionally, UAS (Booth 3009) has also entered into strategic partnerships with IASS in Tokyo. IASS has been a pioneering FBO in Japan since 1977, and through the new agreement offers priority parking, FBO access, tailored pricing and dedicated staff. A similar agreement has also been reached with the FBO of PT Sari Biomantara on the island of Bali, Indonesia.

As part of its ambitions towards gaining a greater market share in the Americas, UAS recently worked for six weeks with students from Hult International Business School in New York. UAS said the students gained through being mentored by experienced business executives–while the work counted towards the final end-of-year projects for Hult’s accelerated Masters program.

The project, according to UAS, “provided real-world, business intensive scenarios for students to understand further what companies operating in the United States encounter day-to-day, allowing them to cultivate thoughtful, forward-looking business solutions that address very specific corporate needs.”

What this involved was for the students to act as business consultants to provide their recommendations to UAS, the client. Luis Escamilla, dean of Hult’s New York center, said “UAS brought an inspiring story of perseverance into the classroom and shared their journey of becoming a leading global aviation services company in just 15 years. They left our students energized, motivated and with a clear message that ‘If you don’t dream high and work hard, you can’t achieve anything’.”

Jay Husary, executive v-p with UAS, stated: “We were actually quite eager to offer ourselves as a living, breathing case study for Hult’s Masters students. We sincerely hope this experience will serve as a lasting inspiration for these business leaders of tomorrow.”

UAS added that students from Hult’s campus in Dubai have also been working with UAS’s Americas regional headquarters in Houston, Texas on a separate project.
