Presented To Companies Operating Business Aircraft For 40 Years Or 80,000 Hours Without An Accident
Flight Ambulance International has been awarded the prestigious 2017 Gold Safety of Flight Award by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) during the EBACE Convention’s 40th annual event in Geneva, Switzerland. The Gold Award is awarded to member companies operating business aircraft for forty years or 80,000 hours without an accident.
Receiving the award from Brian Humphries, EBAA President at a special EBACE Awards Luncheon, FAI Chairman Siegfried Axtmann said: “We are absolutely delighted and proud to receive this fine endorsement from EBAA. It is an excellent achievement for the company. 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. I congratulate members of our dedicated workforce on this achievement as their tireless efforts have greatly contributed to our success.”
In related news, last month FAI increased its capacity with the addition of a new maintenance hangar, Hangar 8 at its Albrecht Duerer International Airport Headquarters in Nuremberg. It has also further bolstered its fleet with the addition of a fourth Bombardier Global Express and sixth Bombardier Challenger 604. This brings FAI’s total fleet to 24 jet aircraft and further underlines FAI’s position as Germany’s largest general aviation operator.
The FAI fleet comprises four Global Express, six Challenger 604, 11 Learjet 60, two Learjet 55, one Premier 1A and a King Air 350.
