George A.

George A. Saling, vice president of aviation and travel services for Altria, will receive NBAA’s John P. “Jack” Doswell award for 2008 in honor of his commitment to excellence and safety in business aviation, both in his professional career and in several volunteer roles for NBAA. Named for business aviation icon Jack Doswell, the award recognizes people for lifelong individual achievement on behalf and in support of the aims, goals and objectives of business aviation.

At Altria, Saling implemented corporate flight operational quality assurance (C-FOQA) programs and developed safety management systems that have become a best-practice standard for NBAA. In addition, Altria was one of the first corporate flight departments to achieve ISO 9002 certification, then IS-BAO level III certification.
