Augusta Regional Airport received its annual Federal Aviation Administration certification inspection the week of July 31^st.

Every year the FAA inspects all commercial service airports in order to ensure compliance with federal regulations and safety mandates. The FAA Inspector for AGS found zero discrepancies, giving the Airport a 100% approval rating for the third year in a row!

All operational departments are reviewed to ensure compliance with training procedures and employee certification qualifications. The inspection covered all aspects of the Airport’s operations including Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting operational procedures and response times, maintenance repair processes, and operational safety and security processes.

“We are very proud to receive a zero discrepancy report on our annual safety inspection.  Safety is perhaps the most important thing that we do,” said Herbert Judon Jr., Executive Director of Augusta Regional Airport. “However, we won’t rest on our laurels.  We understand that safety is an everyday process and we will continue to strive to improve our posture.”
