CHICAGO, 2013-01-14 — /travelprnews.com/ — Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) today received a 2012 Airport Safety Award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Great Lakes Region.
The award was presented to Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) Commissioner Rosemarie S. Andolino by Susan M. Schalk, Manager for the Airports Division of the FAA Great Lakes Region.
In 2001, the FAA Great Lakes Region established this awards program to recognize airports, individuals, organizations and other aviation stakeholders that have made notable contributions to airport safety. The FAA reviewed the inspections of 94 certified airports in the region which have continually operated the expected minimum safety standards. In addition to O’Hare, two other airports will also receive FAA recognition this year.
“On behalf of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, we are honored to receive this award from the FAA. We always strive to be the best in class and operating a safe and efficient airport always comes first,” Andolino said. “I want to thank the FAA for being a great partner to the CDA and for recognizing the efforts of our outstanding operations team at O’Hare.”
Schalk stated that the management and staff at O’Hare accomplished several significant safety enhancements while safely managing the O’Hare Modernization Program (OMP), one of the largest airport construction projects in the nation which is reconfiguring the airport’s outdated runway system for future efficiency and capacity.
“Members of the FAA frontline safety team identified that O’Hare initiated significant safety enhancements worthy of this award,” said Schalk. “CDA management at O’Hare has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to safety through its close collaboration with the FAA, airlines, pilots and its stakeholders. We are happy to recognize these notable achievements.”
Three areas of outstanding safety work at O’Hare considered for the 2012 Airport Safety Award include:
O’Hare has not had any violations of FAA14 CFR Part 139 in the last three years during its annual Airport Certification Inspections. In addition, the airport acted on safety recommendations provided by the FAA.
