FAI rent-a-jet’s Flight Ambulance International was the recipient of the 2017 Gold Safety of Flight Award, which was presented here at EBACE 2017 at a special luncheon yesterday by EBAA president Brian Humphries. The award is given to member companies that operate business aircraft for either 40 years or 80,000 hours without an accident.

“We are absolutely delighted and proud to receive this fine endorsement from EBAA,” said FAI chairman Siegfried Axtmann. “Safety is our number one priority at FAI and we pride ourselves on offering only the highest standards of safety across our entire operation for the benefit of our customers.”
