SunWest Resuming Full Operations (COVID-19 Update)
Good news!
SunWest Aviation, Inc. is resuming full operations thanks to the inclusion of flight schools on the essential business list created by the federal government. Our office will once again be open 7 days a week from 9 AM – 5 PM.
Our instructors have been given the option to stay at home, so not all instructors may be available at this time. Please contact your instructor or our office for more information.
Of course, the health of our customers and our employees comes first. We are excited to return to work, but please remember that limiting the spread of COVID-19 should be a top priority. We will be sanitizing the headsets and aircraft interiors after each use per CDC guidelines. We recommend that you bring your own headset whenever possible. And we urge customers and employees to cancel appointments if they are feeling ill or have a fever. Most importantly, we urge you to stay home if you are included in or in contact with people who fall under the high-risk category as stated by the CDC:
People aged 65 years and older
People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility
People with chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
People who have serious heart conditions
People who are immunocompromised including cancer treatment
People of any age with severe obesity or certain underlying medical conditions
People who are pregnant
Thank you for your patience during this unique situation. As always, we wish you good health and safety.
