A8en9on of Mrs. Annika Malva

Schiphol, 19 March 2024

Good morning Mrs. Malva,

I have received your contact details via the Dutch Defense a8achée for the Bal9c States. As an introduc9on; my name is

Pieter Voeten and I am the Director of Opera9ons of NL EASP AIR.

NL EASP AIR is a Dutch Avia9on company, providing a wide range of security and logis9c services in the aerial domain. NL

EASP AIR is partnering with Berry Avia9on (US) within the NORDIC Aerial Support Group. This coopera9on is focused to

enforce this capability por@olio even further.

I would like to take this opportunity to bring, in par9cular, the Coast Guard and Search and Rescue (SAR) capabili9es of the

NORDIC Aerial Support Group to your a8en9on. NL EASP AIR, being one of the partners in the group, has been contracted

by the EU FRONTEX Border and Coast Guard Agency since 2016, and this to deploy its assets for border control and coast

guard/SAR tasks at the external borders of Europe.

To explain this support, I have enclosed a por@olio of the capabili9es that the NORDIC Aerial Support Group offers. These

capabili9es go much further than just the above-men9oned tasks. They also extend to surveillance flights above na9onal

land borders and aerial logis9cal support (passengers, cargo, MEDEVAC).

If you have any ques9ons or would like to discuss more about this capability, I would kindly request you to contact me.

Sincerely,

Pieter Voeten
