The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2013 AMT Employer Recognition Awards. The association presents these awards annually to companies that employ aviation maintenance technicians (AMT) and provide a minimum number of hours of new or recurrent training to those AMTs on an annual basis. Award winners receive either a one, three or five star award depending on the percentage of employed AMTs receiving the minimum training.

For 2013, three companies received the one star award, four companies received the three star award and 24 companies received the five star award. “I commend all of the 2013 AMT Employer Recognition Award winners for their dedication to training and to fostering their employees’ success,” said NATA President and CEO Thomas L. Hendricks. “These companies have shown that they value well-trained, competent AMTs and deserve to be recognized as leaders in our industry.”

NATA presented the 2013 award for training that occurred during calendar year 2012.

NATA, the voice of aviation business, is the public policy group representing the interests of aviation businesses before Congress and the federal agencies.
