Schubach Aviation Selected as a Signatory Carrier Under the Visa Waiver Program

Applying for elevate-serviceand obtaining the appropriate Visa to the United States for tourism or business can be a complex and lengthy process.

To simplify it, the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department initiated a program allowing for visitors from certain countries to travel to the United States without an issuance of a Visa, known as the Visa Waiver Program. While it is still necessary for the traveler to meet specific requirements, the process is simpler and quicker than a Visa.

In order to offer this benefit to eligible international passengers, flight operators must be approved for Signatory Status. As of December 2016, Schubach Aviation is proud to announce that we were successfully approved as one of the select operators for the program. We are happy to offer this benefit to our valued clients.
