Keith Clark Chosen for Bizav Meritorious Service Award

Industry veteran Keith Clark will receive the Flight Safety Foundation’s (FSF) 2026 Business Aviation Meritorious Service Award at the 71st Business Aviation Safety Summit (BASS) next month. A senior quality control and technical representative at Phillips 66 Aviation, Clark is being recognized for his efforts in misfueling prevention and operational safety.

FSF will present this award during BASS, while will be held May 5 and 6 at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo. This year’s theme is “Leading Safety Through Culture, Innovation, and Practical Solutions.”

NTSB member Michael Graham will deliver the first day’s keynote presentation at BASS, with safety experts and executives from across the business aviation industry leading discussions throughout the summit, which is organized jointly by FSF and NBAA.

Noting Clark’s integral work on the “Save a Life—Verify Fuel Type” initiative, the foundation highlighted his “exceptional and sustained leadership in advancing aviation fuel quality, operational safety, and misfueling prevention across business aviation.” Clark participates in several industry working groups that aim to reduce risk and elevate safety through practical guidance and operational best practices.
