YELLOWKNIFE, Jan. 31, 2013 /CNW/ - Top Aces Inc. ("Top Aces") announced
that, effective February 1, 2013, it will be changing its name to
Discovery Air Defence Services Inc. ("Defence Services"). The change
is being made to better reflect Top Aces' relationship to its parent
company, Discovery Air Inc. ("Discovery Air"), and to better convey the
full range of capabilities offered by Defence Services. The 'Top Aces'
brand will be retained and remain visible in select markets.
Concurrent with the name change, all business development activities
previously carried on by Discovery Air Innovations Inc. will be
transferred to Defence Services. Didier Toussaint, Group President,
Government Services of Discovery Air stated, "Discovery Air Defence
Services will be providing the same safe, reliable and highly-skilled
services for which Top Aces is known. The new name reflects how we have
grown over the past six years as a member of the Discovery Air group of
companies."
The Top Aces website will be replaced by a new Defence Services website
at www.discoveryair-ds.com, and all e-mail addresses will be changed to the Discovery Air format
for consistency with the Discovery Air brand
(firstname.lastname@discoveryair.com).
