Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Honored Eighth Consecutive Time
July 26th, 2006
For the eighth year in a row, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport achieved a “zero-discrepancy” in its annual FAA Certification/Safety Inspection of the Airport conducted July 2006. “This is an exceptional achievement by our dedicated professional staff and to receive a perfect score for the eighth straight year is truly extraordinary”, stated Tom Jargiello, Broward County Aviation Director.
The FAA inspection reviews the Airport’s compliance with the FAA’s airfield safety requirements. It is one of the most comprehensive evaluations that an airport faces from the FAA. The annual inspection is required by the FAA, Southern Region and takes three days to complete. This review concentrates on all aspects of airport safety, including runway and taxiway markings, signage, lighting, safety areas, daily inspections, staff training, airside knowledge, wildlife control, FOD (Foreign Object Debris), fueler training, emergency response, incident command, and overall record management of Airport Rescue and Fire Fighter training.
Director Jargiello commented, “This achievement places the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as one of the safest and most customer-friendly airports in the country and stands as testimony to the efforts and dedication of our staff of aviation professionals.”
