Luncheon Honors Company's Maintenance Personnel
Banyan Air Service tells ANN the company celebrated its 3rd
annual AMT Day on May 22, in honor of their maintenance and
avionics technicians. Dave Valenta, Banyan’s director of
maintenance and Lou Homsher, Banyan’s quality assurance
manager, organized the luncheon event.
"AMT Day is an important day at Banyan because we honor your
achievements and safety record," said Banyan CFO Jim Barcel,
addressing the group. "As a technician, you have the ability to
affect the lives of others. Therefore, safety always has to be in
the forefront of your minds. This is a tremendous responsibility
and one that each of you has accepted with dedication and
professionalism. Thank you for the excellent work and your
commitment to safety."
The official day for AMT Day is May 24... but Banyan celebrated
early due to the date falling on the weekend. The day originated as
a tribute to the first Aircraft Maintenance Technician (AMT),
Charles E. Taylor, who built Orville and Wilbur Wright’s
engine. However, since 2002, AMT day has grown in scope and
recognition with more and more aviation companies acknowledging
it.
Located at Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE), Banyan
employs 60 maintenance and avionics technicians and has a total of
150 teammates company-wide. The company's technical departments
offer comprehensive aircraft maintenance services, including heavy
airframe maintenance and engine maintenance, structural repairs and
modifications, avionics installations and support, interior
refurbishment, exterior painting, and part sales and
distribution.
Banyan’s maintenance facility specializes in King Air,
Citation, Pilatus, and Learjet inspections and modifications.
