Edward McCoy who was overlooking the first flight from the System Control Center - "SCC" went on to state
"Everyone did their part from the ramp and customer service agents at San Francisco, to the Dispatchers and Maintenance Controllers here at the
System Control Center in San Mateo who ensured that the inaugural flight to Chicago-- all the way from the Hangar Tow to Gate 66 then on to the time
the passengers deplaned the aircraft at O'Hare which went flawless"
Fusion Airways Flight 58 was flown in a type Boeing 757-200 aircraft, piloted by Captain R.J Di Giovanni, & Captain Bobby Cosgrove. Flight 58 landed
in Chicago fifteen minutes ahead of schedule, and greeting the 757 aircraft was Chicago's mayor, Richard M. Daley. Mayor Daley attempted to Marshal in

supervisor to guide in the aircraft.
"I couldn't be any happier to welcome Fusion Airways to the beautiful city of Chicago. From what I've heard, there was lots of stress on Fusion
management, but it looks like it all paid off in the end. When I was asked to marshal in the first aircraft, I had no choice but to say yes. The look
of Fusion's aircraft is by far one of the best I've ever seen. I was also given a tour of the inside of this 757 aircraft, and it looked just amazing.
Not to mention how comfortable the seats were. The next time I travel, Fusion Airways will be my first choice of travel, bar none." Mayor Daley
stated Thursday.
Captains R.J Di Giovanni, & Bobby Cosgrove then went on to say
"In the evening of our first day of operations, all I can say is excellent job to the men and women who helped make this day possible. Fusion

our dreams took off into new heights and launched Fusion Airways into a golden era." President Bobby Cosgrove stated during the Press Conference
