Receiving the award from EBAA president Brian Humphries at a special EBACE awards luncheon, FAI chairman Siegfried Axtmann said: “We are absolutely delighted and proud to receive this fine endorsement from EBAA. It is an excellent achievement for the company. Safety is our number one priority at FAI and we pride ourselves on offering only the highest standards of safety across our entire operation for the benefit of our customers. I congratulate the members of our dedicated workforce on this achievement as their tireless efforts have greatly contributed to our success.”
