NATA Announces 2015 Aviation Maintenance Technicians Employer Recognition Award Recipients

Washington, DC, April 2, 2015 – The National Air Transportation Association is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2015 Aviation Maintenance Technicians Employer Recognition Award (AMT). This award is presented annually to companies that employ AMTs and provide them on a yearly basis a minimum number of hours of new and recurrent training. Award winners receive either a one, three or five star award depending on the percentage of employed AMTs meeting the minimum training requirements.

This year we are granting 51 awards, up from 38 last year. Four companies are receiving the one star award, one company is receiving the three star award and 46 companies are receiving the five star award.

“We are very excited that participation in the annual AMT employer recognition award program continues to grow,” said NATA President and CEO, Thomas L. Hendricks. “Each business receiving this award has demonstrated their commitment to providing high quality training to their AMTs and we are proud to honor them.”

All of the award winning companies will be recognized at the NATA Industry Excellence Awards Luncheon held in conjunction with the 2015 Aviation Business Conference in June.  The full list of 2015 AMT Employer Recognition Award winners is available at www.nata.aero/Awards/AMT-Award.aspx.
