The 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby will be held at the usual Churchill Downs Race Track on Saturday, 7 May, 2016. Additional peak period support from Gama Aviation has been put in place during the weekend at Louisville International and the surrounding airports.

“We look forward to, and carry out extensive planning for these special events.”

Dennis Richey, executive vice-president, said: “We look forward to, and carry out extensive planning for these special events. We have been positioning our AOG/mobile teams for our customer base at various locations already and know and understand the time constraints our clients are under when going to the Kentucky Derby.

“It’s known as the fastest two minutes in sport and our clients’ expectations are equally demanding.  Happily, we have been able to showcase the strength of this part of our business year after year.”
