In a ceremony Tuesday at its NBAA exhibit (Booth N5131) Jet Aviation Flight Services accepted the Above & Beyond Safety Award for significant contributions that enhance safety, teamwork and efficiency in the workplace from Grey Owl Aviation Consultants. Flight Services provides Jet Aviation’s aircraft management and charter services in North America, and Grey Owl was contracted to provide its Human Factors in Aviation training to all of the organization’s personnel.
  
This was the second award this month for Jet Aviation. Earlier in November the company’s Hong Kong facility was honored at the inaugural Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA) gala awards event in Hong Kong, China. Jet Aviation received two awards, one for the best aircraft management and charter business, and another for best maintenance and repair services. 
  
“I’m thrilled for the team to see their efforts so conspicuously recognized,” said Barry Collier, managing director and director of operations for Jet Aviation Business Jets, Hong Kong. “Safety and service excellence are our top priorities in all aspects of our operations. Our network of dispatch offices around the world allows us to function globally, but it is a distinct honor for our efforts to be recognized locally.” 
  
Along with the awards, Jet Aviation celebrated its certification by Chinese authorities as a Part 145 approved maintenance facility in Singapore for the support of Chinese registered Bombardier and Gulfstream aircraft.
  
“This approval marks the start of a new era of Gulfstream support solutions for operators in the region from China. We look forward to working closely with them as we develop synergies with other authorized GACs to provide the highest service level possible,” said John Riggir, vice president and general manager of Jet Aviation Singapore.
