Commitment to Safety Training
Galaxy Aviation is committed to providing all of our employees with the most relevant, up-to-date safety training available.

As part of this commitment, we are proud participants in the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) Safety 1st line service training program, widely recognized as the leading program for line service training and continuing education. Our Professional Line Service Technicians are retested constantly in nine key areas to maintain high standards of service.

In addition, we've established our own unique Certified Tow Operator Training Program, based on NATA guidelines. Only certified tow operators who have met our exacting standards are authorized to tow aircraft at our bases. We also encourage the continued professionalism of our staff with mandatory supervisor and customer service training.

NATA Safety 1st Certification
To be eligible for NATA Safety 1st certification, technicians must pass both written and practical exams in the following areas:

• Ground servicing
• Ramp safety
• Refueling piston aircraft
• Refueling turboprop aircraft
• Refueling jet aircraft
• Fuel farm management
• Towing
• Customer service
• Fire safety

Certified Tow Operator Training Program
We've taken our commitment to line service safety training to the next level with our unique Certified Tow Operator Safety Training Program.

In order to become a Galaxy Aviation Certified Tow Operator, technicians must complete the NATA Safety 1st training required of all line service employees. Certified Tow Operator candidates are then nominated by management to undergo further instruction in towing, including additional classroom training. Candidates must retake the NATA Safety 1st written test on towing to gain certification.

Only Certified Tow Operators who have met our exacting standards are authorized to tow aircraft at our bases.

Airport Security
For your personal safety, the airports in which our FBOs are located feature heightened security measures, including security personnel, security gates, cameras, and mandatory background checks for ramp badges.
