April 10, 2026 (Eden Prairie, MN) | Premier Jet Center is proud to announce that its maintenance team has received the FAA Diamond Award of Excellence, the highest recognition available under the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Awards Program. The Diamond Award is given to organizations where 100% of eligible employees earn an individual AMT Certificate of Training within a single calendar year.

On April 8, FAA representatives presented the Diamond Award to Premier Jet Center during a ceremony honoring the team’s accomplishments. Premier Jet Center’s affiliate Fargo Jet Center was also recognized with the Diamond Award at a ceremony in February.

“This award reflects the hard work and dedication our team brings every day,” said Andrew Ohnstad, Director of Maintenance at Premier Jet Center. “We’re committed to the highest standards of quality and safety, and investing in our team’s ongoing training is how we deliver on that promise.”

The FAA’s AMT Awards Program was established to recognize employers who prioritize the development of their maintenance workforce. Participating technicians complete structured training requirements ranging from 12 hours at the Bronze level to 80 or more hours — plus college-level coursework — at the Gold level. The Diamond designation is only achievable when every team member earns their individual certification, reflecting an exceptional collective commitment to education, safety, and excellence.
