Anchorage, AK - March 25 - The Medallion Foundation would like to announce that Northern Air Cargo (NAC) has achieved the coveted and hard earned Medallion Foundation Shield Safety Award.
The Medallion Foundation Shield is only awarded to a company after establishing and implementing higher safety standards than those required by the Federal Air Regulations.
The award of Medallion Shield to our company is the culmination of years of hard work by our team, but ultimately it is validation of NAC's ongoing commitment to safety and world-class operational integrity,” said Dave Karp president and CEO of Northern Air Cargo. “I am very proud of the men and women at NAC who work every day to make our company better.
Prior to being eligible for the Medallion Foundation Shield Award, a carrier must obtain five stars, or separate levels of safety, before it is qualified for possible further rigorous safety and procedure audits. Upon passing these audits, and continuing its safe flying record, the airline may be awarded a Medallion Shield.
Northern Air Cargo, established in 1956, is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Saltchuk Resource Corporation. The Northern Air Cargo family of companies offer scheduled and charter cargo services throughout Alaska and North America as well as aircraft maintenance and ground handling services.
The Medallion Foundation is a non-profit organization, created in 2003, whose mission is to promote aviation safety through systems enhancements by providing management resources, training, and support to the aviation community.
