WE HAVE MOVED! Here is the location of our building once you get to the airport. 
Due to the building being taken over all businesses in the building had to move. We are temporally in the next building. Go past the our old building (with our name still on it) and go to the security fence. Pull over to the side to use the phone. Dial "22" on the phone and this will call our office. We will then come out to escort you in. If the gate is open you can just drive in to the first large building past the gate. Via Air's office is on the corner of the building. There is a banner by our door. This will be a temporary location until we settle on a more suitable location.
