Eagle’s Wings Air, provider of air transportation management services to funeral homes and shipping services, celebrated its 13th anniversary recently after a year of historic operational challenges and organizational growth. Co-founded in late 2007 by Frank Kaiser and Dave McComb, EWA managed its first transfer of a loved one in March 2008. Since then, and thanks to the expertise of EWA team members and the combined airline and funeral home experience of Kaiser and McComb, the company has grown to become a leader in managing the air transportation required to bring loved ones home for ceremony.

In addition, after an initial decline in company volume during the confusion and shutdowns that gripped the nation March through May of 2020, EWA has experienced an average year-over-year growth rate of 22%.

“Despite the profound impact of COVID-19 on the available airline capacity throughout much of 2020, EWA solidified and strengthened its position as the industry leader thanks to its highly dedicated and hardworking team members and a quick change to a more flexible work-from-home operating model,” said McComb, CEO.

“The past 12 months have certainly been the most challenging of my 25-plus-year career in the air logistics business,” said Frank Kaiser, president. “Even more than September 11, 2001, when I was leading a customer service function at an airline and we grounded our entire fleet of aircraft for three days.” ewacares.com
