BMS CAT Aviation Division Cleans Up After US Air Hudson Crash

BMS CAT’s aviation division, Global-BMS, is involved with the recovery of personal affects after transportation incidents (airline disasters, cruise ship clean up, rail incidents). One of the most visible projects has been the US Air Flight 1549 that landed in the Hudson River.  Global-BMS performed the recovery, clean up, and then returned the property to the passengers (see articles from USA Today, CNN, New York Times, CW News video, Fox News video, and ABC News video).  Global-BMS works with both commercial transportation companies, charter transportation companies, as well as company owned aircraft and shipping vehicles.  The newest members of Global–BMS’s Priority Customers are universities who establish Priority Response Agreements in the event charter transportation for the school has an incident. 

BMS CAT has been doing emergency commercial restoration work since 1981 when a large hotel needed to be opened quickly to meet commitments.  Instead of 4 months as was originally projected by the competition, BMS CAT created a process and opened the hotel in 29 days.  From that start BMS CAT has evolved to be a full service restoration company doing “Restoration & More” on individual losses or area wide disasters!
