Arctic Directory October 2015: Bald Mountain Air Service earns Medallion Shield

Bald Mountain Air Service, owned by lifelong Alaskans Gary and Jeanne Porter, has earned the Medallion Shield - the highest safety award by the Medallion Foundation. Each of the Five Stars represents one of the cornerstones of the Medallion Shield: controlled flight into terrain avoidance, an internal audit program, a proactive safety culture and a ground and maintenance service program. Implementing the Medallion standards for safety in all of these areas ensures a detailed control mechanism when evaluating a company’s commitment to safety. Participating in the Medallion Foundation has enabled Bald Mountain Air Service to strengthen its business by providing employees and management responsibility in its safety program and continuous improvement. Bald Mountain operates full time, year around, with facilities in Deadhorse, Anchorage and Homer and specializes in complex aviation solutions for natural resource exploration, marine mammal survey, aerial photography, off-airport, Arctic all season operations, firefighting support, bulk fuel delivery and wildlife viewing.

The Medallion Shield of safety will officially be awarded to Bald Mountain Air this forthcoming fall at the Alaska Air Carriers Association aviation banquet in Anchorage. For more information about Bald Mountain visit www.baldmountainair.com.
