KaiserAir Receives FAA Diamond Certificate of Excellence For Maintenance Staff

OAKLAND, Calif. – KaiserAir, Inc., the largest company managing and chartering business jets in the San Francisco Bay Area, has received the Federal Aviation Administration’s Diamond Certificate of Excellence in Maintenance Training, created to honor companies "who take a proactive role in training their technical workforce."

The Diamond award is the highest award of its type, and was given to KaiserAir in recognition of the fact that 19 of its 30 maintenance technicians have voluntarily taken training that exceeds federal requirements.

"We’re extremely proud of our technicians for taking the extra steps to qualify for this award," said Andy Fitzgerald, vice president of maintenance for KaiserAir. "We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality of service, and we can only do this when our technicians go the proverbial extra mile in maintaining and increasing their skills and knowledge."

At a luncheon held in KaiserAir’s headquarters at Oakland International Airport’s North Field, FAA Safety Program Manager Guy Minor presented the award certificates to Fitzgerald, and to each of the maintenance technicians who took the additional courses.

KaiserAir, Inc. dates back to 1946 when it began as the flight department for the Kaiser companies founded by the late industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. Today it is a full-service aircraft management company and fixed-base operator, specializing in the operation and maintenance of Gulfstream, Hawker, Cessna and other business jet aircraft. Thirty-three of Fortune Magazine’s Top 50 corporations make KaiserAir’s Executive Terminal their home when they conduct business in the San Francisco area.
