Said Tim Valento, “Safety is the top priority with our team and the rest of Aeronautics. It takes tremendous effort and focus to have been able to reach a milestone in the history of aviation in Minnesota, like this one. I am proud of all the members of the Air Transportation Section team, and equally proud of everyone in Aeronautics for their part in assuring we can fly safely in Minnesota, or wherever our flights may take us.” Valento added, “our professional flight crews and staff are dedicated to providing outstanding service to our flying customers in a consistently safe and efficient manner every day.”
