Airline group SAS carries passengers throughout Scandinavia -- and well beyond. Most of the company's sales come from its Scandinavian Airlines operations, which include units that operate in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, as well as Scandinavian Airlines International, which serves destinations in Europe, North America, and Asia. SAS extends its reach as a member of the global Star Alliance, a marketing and code-sharing partnership led by Lufthansa and United Airlines. (Code-sharing allows carriers to sell tickets on one another's flights and thus offer potential passengers more destinations.) Other sources of revenue include airline support businesses and stakes in other airlines.

KMW Schweisstechnik GmbH (KMWS) is a 100% subsidiary of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG (KMW), and has been an internationally recognised partner for the manufacture of welded wheeled and tracklaying vehicles for approximately 50 years. The core expertise of KMWS is the welding of assemblies made from high-strength steel with extremely high tensile strength. The company manufactures casings made from hardened and tempered special steels for ballistic protection (”armoured steel”) and supporting structures made from fine-grained structural steel using its highly-qualified employees and in-depth technical welding know-how.Over the last few decades, the company has manufactured more than 10,000 casings for domestic and foreign customers for the KMW Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 combat tank series, for example.KMWS therefore combines well-tried expertise in the manufacture of casings using thick sheet metal for heavy combat vehicles and state-of-the-art manufacture of lightweight construction casings using cold-formed precision blanks made from thin sheet metal for the latest air-portable vehicles. The company is involved in the majority of the KMW group’s vehicle projects, for which it manufactures casings made from armoured steel.

Canadian aviation pioneer, Russell (Russ) Bradley, started his pilot training centre and flying school in Ottawa in 1946. From the outset, Russ proved an innovator. He and legendary pilot and partner, Weldy Phipps, revolutionized Arctic flying capability by developing the large balloon-like "tundra tires" in response to the Geological Survey of Canada contract awarded to Bradley Air Services in the late 1950s. No longer were their growing number of clients going to be as limited to where and when they could land in the High Arctic.In a few short decades, Bradley Air Services Ltd. has evolved to become Canada's foremost Arctic and remote region air carrier, operating under the trademark name - FIRST AIR. Today, First Air, The Airline of the North, is owned by Makivik Corporation, the body responsible for administering the land claim settlement of the Inuit of northern Quebec. Through a series of prudent acquisitions in recent years (Ptarmigan Airways and NWT Air), First Air has expanded its fleet, its route system, and already extensive range of air carrier capability.For over 40 years, government agencies, the military, scientists, researchers, the resource sector and also adventure seeking tourists from around the world, have all looked to First Air over the years to make the northern reaches of Canada more accessible. Our reputation for reliability and unsurpassed expertise is the progressive culmination of more than 55 years of experience gained primarily in Arctic and High Arctic operations.
