ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 22, 2026 / Survival Products, A First Class Air Company, announced it has signed a 10-year global exclusive distribution agreement with Boeing Distribution during MRO Americas, expanding access to certified aviation survival systems worldwide.
The agreement expands Boeing Distribution’s portfolio of certified safety equipment, adding Survival Products’ compact, lightweight life rafts and life vests designed for performance, reliability, and operational efficiency to its global offering for operators and maintenance organizations.
“Partnering with Boeing Distribution ensures our compact, cost-effective life rafts and survival systems are more accessible to operators and maintenance organizations worldwide,” said Isac Roths, CEO of First Class Air. “This relationship allows us to extend the reach of our products while continuing to deliver the quality, responsiveness and support our customers depend on.”

The agreement combines Survival Products’ in-house manufacturing and repair capabilities with Boeing Distribution’s global logistics network. Together, this enables reduced turnaround times, lower total cost of ownership, and improved operational readiness across fleets.
