Tenth Straight FAA Diamond Award
For 10 years in a row, Comair has
been awarded the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) most
prestigious safety honor - the Diamond Award for excellence in
aviation maintenance training. Comair's 10th consecutive Diamond
Award is an industry leading achievement that underscores the
airline's commitment to safety and operational excellence.
"Dedication to safety is paramount at Comair, and our
maintenance team is a shining example of this commitment," said
Michael Stuart, senior vice president, Aircraft Operations. "We are
proud to mark a decade of being recognized by the FAA for safety
excellence and appreciate the hard work of our people to achieve
this milestone."
At Comair, more than 60 percent of the airline's aviation
maintenance technicians (AMTs) completed the continuous training
required to participate in the program. Altogether, Comair AMTs
completed 10,642 hours of safety, compliance and technical
training.
"Comair's active participation in encouraging technicians to
complete this training is a reflection of the dedication of the
airline," said Mark Corrigan, FAA supervisor. "It's extremely rare
for an airline to receive this honor 10 years in a row. The FAA
appreciates Comair's cooperation and commitment to safety in air
transportation."
Implemented in 1990, the FAA's aviation maintenance technician
award program is an incentive for individual maintenance
technicians to complete recurrent and initial training. To qualify
for the FAA Diamond Award, at least 25 percent of an airline's
eligible maintenance technicians must pass specialized, ongoing
training during a 12-month period.
