|
|
Savannah, Ga. - December 18, 2001 - General Dynamics Aviation Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), reports that all five of its aircraft maintenance centers across the United States have achieved the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Diamond Certificate of Excellence Award. The Diamond Certificate of Excellence Award represents the FAA’s highest level of recognition for aircraft maintenance training. For a service center to receive the award, at least 25 percent of the employees at the center must complete a minimum of 100 hours of initial or recurring training each year. "The fact that all our centers achieved this level of performance and recognition in our first year of operation is an extremely significant accomplishment," said Larry Flynn, president, General Dynamic Aviation Services (GDAS). "It proves to our customers that we can provide them with the highest possible level of service. I am very proud of all our people, and the effort they have made to earn this recognition." General Dynamics Aviation Services was formed earlier this year to meet the maintenance needs of Challengers, Falcons, Gulfstreams, Hawkers and other business jet aircraft. GDAS extends the organizational strength and experience of the Company’s Gulfstream Aircraft Services organization to a broader range of business aircraft owners through regional maintenance centers in Minneapolis, MN; Westfield, MA; West Palm Beach, FL; Dallas, TX and Las Vegas, NV.
