There will be some changes in the way our system works. First, logins and passwords will need to be assigned to individuals, not to companies. When you try to log in Friday, your old login will not work! Simply call us at 877-936-7847 and we'll assign you an individual login and password. You'll have the ability to change your login and password to your liking under your online profile. The system will not accept reservations entered with less than 24 hours lead time. For those, you'll need to call them in. When you book you'll receive a preliminary confirmation that your reservation has been received and accepted. However, your reservation is NOT confirmed until you receive a separate detailed confirmation from a Fortis Riders team member. Finally, please do not register separately for a new online account. By logging in with the assigned login and password we start you out with, you'll ensure that your reservations are associated with the corporate umbrella account you are under. We are excited to provide this new, advanced online service and look forward to working you soon! 05.29.04- Fortis Riders announces Secure Car Program Fortis Riders, a global leader in ground transportation, today announced the roll-out of its Secure Car Program.  Beginning immediately on all rides in Europe, clients can have access to armored cars and limousines, security personnel, and comprehensive driver screening information.  Nathan Foy, President of Fortis Riders, said, "With the security concerns throughout Europe and the United States, our new Secure Car Program will provide clients with valuable peace of mind."  As part of Fortis Riders' Secure Car Program, clients may request additional follow cars or disguise cars.  For specific vehicle types and locations, please call Fortis Riders 24-Hour Ride number - 877-936-7847 or email info@fortisnet.com. 01.15.04- Fortis Riders attends NBAA Scheduler and Dispatcher Show in Savannah Fortis Riders participated in the 15th Annual NBAA Scheduler and Dispatcher Conference in Savannah, Georgia.  The convention was attended by over 1,400 aviation professionals and 238 exhibitors.  Katie Brannon, Client Care Coordinator, said "It was a great opportunity to meet many of our clients and get to know their needs."  Fortis Riders thanks all the organizers of the show for producing such a great event. 10.06.03- Fortis Riders today announced the hiring of Ryan Judd as Sales Counselor/Provider Coach Fortis Riders welcomed Ryan Judd to the team as its newest hire.  Ryan has a BA from Vanderbilt University and Masters degree in Spanish from the University of Georgia.  Ryan will be working with private aviation firms and other transportation firms to consult with them on their ground transportation needs.  Prior to working at Fortis Riders, Ryan did translation work for Young Life and spent one year working at Eagle Ranch in Gainesville, Georgia.  As provider coach, Ryan will be recruiting and managing new and existing drivers throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.  Ryan speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese.  He will use his language skills to expand Fortis Riders' network to more countries in Europe and Latin America.  Ryan stated, "I'm thrilled to join the excellent group of folks here at Fortis Riders, and I look forward to contributing to our growth toward becoming a global company." 08.28.03- Fortis Riders partners with The Air Charter Guide to distribute free directories Fortis Riders today announced that it will be working with The Air Charter Guide to distribute free copies of their Executive Traveler Edition.  The Air Charter Guide will provide 20,000 booklets for Fortis Riders drivers to distribute to passengers.  Nathan Foy, President of Fortis Riders, commented, "It is a privilege to partner with our providers and The Air Charter Guide to provide these directories.  It is a quality publication that is especially useful for our clients, many of whom use private aviation regularly."  In addition to distributing the booklets, Fortis Riders will have a full-page ad on the inside back cover of the directory.  For more information on the Executive Traveler Edition from The Air Charter Guide, click here: http://www.aircharterguide.com/public/about/executive_traveler.asp.
