USAIG®, a leading provider of insurance to the aviation and aerospace industries, will be presenting their insured, Key Air, with a Performance Vector achievement plaque at the upcoming  65^th NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention (October 30-November 1, 2012, Orlando, Florida.)  The presentation will take place at USAIG Booth No. 778 at 3:00 pm, Tuesday, October 30, 2012.  The plaque acknowledges Key Air’s completion of the 2012 Convergent Performance Human Factors webinar series. 

Performance Vector is available to any USAIG-insured operator of turbine-powered aircraft regardless of fleet size. Programs that satisfy multiple industry and regulatory requirements for human factors training and safety management systems have been selected to not only boost organizational performance, but also facilitate satisfaction of NBAA, IS-BAO and other leading safety management criteria.  Operators can choose from a lineup of programs that best supplement their ongoing safety initiatives.  When USAIG policyholders utilize Performance Vector services, an achievement plaque is provided to the operator.  Each time they complete additional training or enroll in new safety services, USAIG sends the appropriate placard to add to the plaque’s display.

Key Air is dedicated towards continuous improvement while committed to achieving the highest levels of aviation safety and security performance through implementation of its own comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) and dedicated Safety Manager. Yearly safety audits by multiple, independent aviation organizations have consistently given Key Air exemplary ratings. This past summer, Key Air hosted a Runway Excursion safety forum which was co-sponsored by USAIG, along with the NBAA and the Connecticut Business Aviation Group (CBAG) at Key Air’s headquarters facility in Waterbury-Oxford, CT.  The event was hailed as a “must attend” by many of the participants.  This is just one example of Key Air’s dedication to meeting and exceeding the industry standards for safety and security.
