Aviaxess runs up marathon support pedigree
France's Aviaxess reports that its role as official aerial support partner for the 23rd Marathon des Sables (Sand Marathon) for the fourth consecutive year has brought a steady stream of business enquiries.

France's Aviaxess reports that its role as official aerial support partner for the 23rd Marathon des Sables (Sand Marathon) for the fourth consecutive year has brought a steady stream of business enquiries.

But Frederic Aguettant, ceo, says: "We support the sand marathon because of its respect for the environment and its encouragement of the values of discipline and hard work in the pursuit of excellence."

Aviaxess, based in Paris and Hyeres, provided a Ecureuil dedicated to health evacuations, overflights for security and promoting the event and transport of sponsors, guests, equipment and personnel to different sites.

It also carried out aerial photography and surveillance. Aviaxess has expanded its Paris-based fleet with recent additions including the AS350 BA, and the AS350 B2. Barthelemy Gilles, marketing and communications director, says: "These helicopters will help Aviaxess reinforce and broaden its services."
