NBAA is honoring hundreds of companies and individuals on Tuesday at the BACE show in recognition of the industry’s concerted efforts to elevate safety. The organization is presenting its Flying Safety Awards for the period ending Dec. 31, 2025 on the Horizon Stage from 10:30 to 11 a.m., immediately after the opening general session. These recognitions cross a swath of the industry, including companies that have accrued 75, 60, and 50 years of safe flying.

“Safety is the foundation of everything we do in aviation, and it’s something that’s built flight by flight, decision by decision, over an entire career,” said influencer and The Pink Jet president and pilot Stephanie Goetz, who is hosting the awards. “It’s an honor to host the NBAA Safety Awards Ceremony and help recognize the individuals and organizations whose extraordinary commitment to professionalism and safety has made business aviation stronger for all of us.”
