In a landmark gesture, Aviramp has donated one of its revolutionary step-free ramps to Deauville Airport in France, ensuring that the returning US veterans can safely and comfortably board and deplane Delta's unique Normandy Legacy Flight.
This pioneering transatlantic service – the first dedicated flight of its kind – brings together American World War II heroes and students on an emotional journey to Normandy's beaches, preserving first-hand accounts of WWII and D-Day while creating educational experiences for young people who will carry these stories forward.
Best Defense Foundation is a charity set up by former US football star, linebacker Donnie Edwards and his wife, Kathryn Edwards.
Founder and CEO of Aviramp, Graham Corfield said: “It is no exaggeration at all to say that we owe these veterans and the incredible men and women who served with them our freedom from tyranny and oppression.
“What they did on those beaches 81 years ago shaped the future of Europe and the rest of the world. To be able to help the surviving veterans return to commemorate the landings, remember their colleagues and honour the fallen is the greatest privilege for this company."
