Flying Safety Awards

Bookmark and Share

The NBAA Flying Safety Awards recognize Member Companies for exceptional achievement in maintaining safe flying operations. These awards are more than a Member benefit; they are also testimony to the high degree of professionalism inherent in business aircraft operations, and a tribute to the skill of a company’s management, maintenance, pilot and support personnel teams.

These NBAA awards have brought worldwide attention to the business aircraft safety record and have been endorsed and approved by the National Safety Council.

NBAA's Flying Safety Awards are given annually for the period January 1 to December 31. Acknowledgments are made during the Annual Meeting & Convention of the Association.
