LAS VEGAS – Maverick Helicopters is proud to announce receipt of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) 2020 Award of Excellence “Diamond Award.” The prestigious honor is a result of the company’s ongoing dedication to maintenance training and aircraft safety. This is Maverick Helicopters’ 10th consecutive year earning the prestigious Diamond Award for its Las Vegas and Grand Canyon South Rim locations and the sixth consecutive award for its Hawaii operations in Maui and Kauai.
