How Banyan delivery works
- Call or text the ops line — give us your tail number, passenger count, route and the time you need equipment at the Banyan desk.
- We build and document the package — rafts, vests and beacons selected, inspected and packed with Part 91, 121 or 135 paperwork as required.
- Equipment is waiting at Banyan — hand-delivered same day for orders confirmed during the working day. For AOG, call directly.
- Return it when you land — leave it at the Banyan desk or ship it back overnight. We close the rental when we confirm receipt.
