Continuing its tradition of recognizing safe flying in business aviation, NBAA plans to honor hundreds of companies, flight departments, and individuals for their accomplishments in this area during its upcoming BACE show next month.
The Flying Safety Awards program will encompass operations that meet certain milestones, as well as those that have exhibited leadership in specific categories for the period that ended Dec. 31, 2023. NBAA said these awards demonstrate the high degree of professionalism and safety culture that is at the heart of the industry.
“Safety is business aviation’s highest priority and a core value,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “We look forward to honoring those people and companies who have attained or surpassed the half-century mark in safe operations at our convention this year, as well as those with other remarkable safety achievements.”
Among the recipients are those that reached the 50-year mark of flying safety: Allete; J.R. Simplot; Lowe’s; Quiktrip; RTX; and Wayne-Sanderson Farms. Meanwhile, Cummins will be recognized with the 60-year Flying Safety Award. NBAA will present the 75-year honor to three companies: Kimberly-Clark, NextEra Energy, and Owens-Illinois.
Also part of the program, NBAA will present Corporate Business Flying Awards to 107 companies, Maintenance Department Safety Awards to 49 companies, Pilot Safety awards to 291 individuals, Scheduler/Licensed Dispatcher Safety Awards to 80; Support Services Safety Awards to 227 recipients; and Avionics/Maintenance Technician Safety Awards to 180 recipients.
