NEW YORK, March 21, 2016 — FlyByHire™, a Delaware-company, announced the official launch of its Commercial business.
FlyByHire™ holds a full commercial exemption under the FAA 333 Modernization and Reform act of 2012 (FMRA). One of just ~4,000 companies in the country to operate UAS vehicles (“Drones”) legally for commercial use1, the Company, pioneers scaled aerial-photography solutions via the operation of a fleet of owned professional-grade vehicles, employing pilots trained under strict specifications.
FlyByHire™ works in partnership with insurance companies, home inspectors, security operators, sporting venues, leisure operators, hospitality establishments, social planners, municipalities, and commercial/residential real estate professionals. FlyByHire™ also offers exclusive mapping services, with more services to be announced imminently.
FlyByHire™ carries a full legal exemption (#14245) to operate in all 50 States; the Company has invested in the highest tier of insurance liability coverage.
Founded by veteran Media analyst, Judah Rifkin, FlyByHire™ is pioneering a burgeoning industry in a period of marketplace ambiguity, with a no-shortcut-approach to operating legally in the Commercial sphere.
Founder and CEO, Judah Rifkin, remarked: “Today is a proud one, culminating the long-anticipated launch of a scalable business. Our mandate is to integrate a transformative technology into the Commercial mainstream during a time of market uncertainty and differentiate our service from others taking advantage of customer confusion.” Mr. Rifkin continued, “We have partnered with pilots using Company owned equipment and operations are covered under a broad liability Umbrella. I’d like to thank our all-star team of pilots, executives, board members, developers and advisors who have helped make this generational opportunity a reality.”
FlyByHire™‘s bench of talent includes Board Chairman Craig Moffett, founder of Institutional Research Firm MoffettNathanson LLC, also a former 11-year SVP of Media/Telco Research at Sanford C. Bernstein. Prior, Mr. Moffett spent more than 10 years in the Telecommunications team at the Boston Consulting Group, including more than five years leading the entire Telco practice. Said Mr. Moffett: “When I started working with Judah at Bernstein, he soaked up all he could as an analyst. I knew he’d eventually use this tool-box to build something special and, more importantly, tangible. I couldn’t be prouder of Judah and the entire FlyByHire™ team, which I am confident will serve as a market-leader in a new industry for countless Enterprises.” Mr. Moffett added, “This is game-changing technology and I’m excited to be involved.”
Edna Mashaal, founder of leading residential Real Estate Brokerage, Edna Mashaal Realty, said, “When FlyByHire™ called my office, it was an easy decision. My business, has grown exponentially and we employ a significant number of licensed brokers. But, to continue to be market leaders, we need to maintain a competitive-edge. As an exclusive partner with FlyByHire™, we have both a marketing vehicle, and even more important, a tool to offer our clients via virtual tours of prospective properties in real-time. We look forward to years of growth together.”
Blaise Ingrisano, CEO of A-Pro, the leading home inspection company remarked, “A-Pro Certified Home Inspections is proud to partner and fly with FlyByHire™. Their service, fleet and pilots are second-to-none, much in-line with how we approach business; a premium, timely, professional and value-added service which turns a commodity into a must-have service. We have already seen benefits for our customers and our inspectors with FlyByHire™‘s aerial photography abilities.”
Ellen Adelsberg, Founder and 26-year Veteran of event planning company PartiesByEllen, put it bluntly: “Even before Judah finished his pitch, I asked, ‘where do I sign?’ My company is thrilled to be in business with FlyByHire™ and to have an exclusive relationship with a legal, insured entity. This provides our party and social event company with a competitive advantage, which we’ll employ every day.” Ms. Adelsberg continued, “We’ve already performed trials, and FlyByHire™ has exceeded our – and most importantly – our clients’ expectations. We look forward to growing the business to other social events and services.”
