Sun Air Jets is honored to announce that it has been presented with the 2022 Friendly Flyer Award from the Van Nuys Airport. It is the company’s 9th such award since 2014, making it the recipient with the longest consecutive tenure.
According to the Los Angeles World Airports website, the voluntary Fly Friendly/Quiet Departure Program for jet aircraft was established in 1994 to address the community’s concerns regarding jet aircraft noise in neighboring areas. In 2012, the Friendly Flyer Award Program was created to identify and formally recognize jet operators that have achieved the highest levels of compliance with the mandatory noise regulations and the voluntary noise abatement programs at VNY. The Friendly Flyer Award is presented annually to jet operators that meet or exceed the following criteria during the award year.
The award winners were determined using the following criteria:
- At least 60 southbound jet departures
- No violations of noise ordinances.
- Observance of the Quieter Nights Program
- 99% or greater compliance with the No Early Turn and the Quiet Jet Departure Programs
“I’m pleased to receive this ninth consecutive acknowledgement for Sun Air Jets”, said Brian Counsil, President and CEO of Sun Air Jets. “We continuously educate our employees and clients to support noise reduction at Van Nuys in the overnight and early morning hours. I’m thankful that LAWA provides annual certificate recognition to all the operators that have helped achieve success of the Friendly Flyer program.”
The program winners were recognized with a breakfast reception and recognition at the Los Angeles World Airport’s Board of Airport Commissioners meeting on June 15th, 2023.
