Former FSF Leader Recognized with FSF President’s Citation

by Flight Safety Foundation | November 11, 2014

Abu Dhabi, UAE – In recognition of his work as the former CEO, the Flight Safety Foundation announced today that Capt. Kevin Hiatt was presented with the President’s Citation.

The FSF President’s Citation was established in 1988 by the FSF Board of Governors to recognize individuals and groups for aviation safety accomplishments outside the criteria for other awards. The award honors those who have displayed “outstanding service on behalf of safety, whether it be valor, professionalism or service above and beyond normal expectations.

“During Kevin’s tenure as FSF CEO, he recognized the vital role that collaboration and partnership should play in advancing safety. He positioned FSF as a key player through partnerships and joint ventures among aviation stakeholders from throughout the industry and the world,” stated FSF President and CEO, Jon L. Beatty.

“Kevin also served as an expert voice of reason and calm in the highly charged aftermath of an aviation accident,” Beatty continued. “His willingness to share his safety expertise and work with reporters from around the world to explain often-complex aviation issues made FSF an important call for the media and emphasized the importance of FSF’s voice on the world stage.”

Capt. Hiatt stepped down as FSF president and CEO in December 2013 to become the Vice President of Safety at the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
