There are four main stages that follow a fatal aviation accident, and at the centre of all of these are the families. Our job is to try and relieve some of the burden, help seek the true cause, and provide them with the future financial stability that was taken from them.

Our commitment to air safety
Air safety is a right, not a privilege, and it sits at the heart of what we do for our clients.
Getting to the truth of what happened so that lessons can be learned sits at the heart of what we do for our clients. We investigate both independently, and with government investigators, to determine the true causes of accidents, and campaign both nationally and internationally for improvements to air safety.
