The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators presents aviation industry awards each year to mark achievement and excellence within the industry. These prestigious awards are presented in Guildhall, London (usually) by a member of the Royal Family or The Rt Hon The Lord Mayor and in the presence of over 700 individuals involved in aviation.

A copy of the terms of reference of each award can be found here. You will see that they cover a broad spectrum of achievement within the ‘industry’ from individual to corporate, both civil and military. The Guild also awards Master Air Pilot and Master Air Navigator certificates and Master Rearcrew Certificates throughout the year in recognition of long and distinguished professional aircrew achievement.

The awards are important and distinctive because they recognise achievement which may otherwise not fit the criteria for a national award (honours list etc) and therefore remain unrecognised by the industry and public alike.

These awards serve a useful and high-profile public relations purpose to the benefit of all in aviation. They help to maintain the deservedly high esteem in which aviation as an industry and profession is held by the public at large.  I ask that you help the Guild to fulfil that aim.

Information about awards made in for the year 2010-2011 can be found here  These awards were presented at the Trophies and Awards Banquet in Guildhall on 27 October 2011

The committee will commence the trawl for nominations for 2012 in January 2012 - further information via this link
