“This was a record-breaking operation and a proud moment for our company and for aviation in New York,” says Itai Shoshani, CEO of Zip Aviation. “Together with the PGA of America, we have been developing and refining this helicopter operation since 2016 for the PGA, Masters and Ryder Cup championships, and this year's performance demonstrates the strength of that partnership.”
