The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded Horizon Air its
eighth consecutive Diamond Certificate of Excellence this week. The
award recognizes the airline for achieving a 100 percent participation
rate by its maintenance personnel in the Aviation Maintenance
Technician (AMT) Awards program.
"Horizon Air continues to excel in encouraging continued education
in its AMTs," said Ernie Keener, CRJ-700 airworthiness program manager
at the FAA's Portland flight standards district office. "We at the FAA
consider Horizon an industry leader in aviation safety and training,
and it's been my pleasure to work with the professional management
team and training department at Horizon for the last nine years."
Established in 1991, the AMT program honors aviation maintenance
personnel and employers who participate in training opportunities that
exceed FAA regulatory requirements. The Diamond Certificate of
Excellence is the highest honor the program can bestow on a company.
"This is a tribute to Horizon's maintenance employees and their
dedication to continually taking their technical expertise to new
levels in order to sustain and strengthen our company's excellent
safety record," said Celia Sherbeck, Horizon's vice president of
maintenance and engineering.
Named 2007 Regional Airline of the Year by Air Transport World
magazine, Horizon today serves 48 cities throughout California,
Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and British
Columbia and Alberta. Together, Horizon Air and Alaska Airlines serve
89 cities and are subsidiaries of Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:ALK).
