World Air

gets federal accolades

Peachtree City's World Airways has received its second consecutive Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) Diamond Award for outstanding participation in

aircraft maintenance training programs. Two World aviation maintenance technicians

(AMTs) also received individual diamond awards for their achievements.

The Diamond

Award is the FAAs highest maintenance honor, designed to encourage AMT employees

and companies to participate actively in initial and recurrent training programs.

World had 100 percent participation among its AMTs in 2003, far exceeding

the 25 percent required to qualify for the Diamond Award. A total of 105

World AMTs

tallied 6,515 hours of training in 2003. This award is recognized in the

aviation industry as a symbol of dedication to maintenance training, said

Larry Montford,

vice president of technical operations. It is a credit to our maintenance

reps and to the company. Our team has done an outstanding job in reaching

the 100

percent participation level.

Individual gold diamond pins were given to Steve Spence and Kevork Zanazanian

for their high personal levels of training activity. The individual gold

diamond award requires a minimum of 100 hours of training credit during the

year.
