Allen Corporation considers aviation safety as an intrinsic requirement of all aircraft operations and training programs. As such, safety is incorporated into all aspects of the company’s aviation business services by culture, regulation, codes of practice, and through fully documented work procedures. Quality management in an aviation environment is the delivery of a safe transportation system to all company clients and staff, and therefore, the management of safety be6comes the management of quality.

Safety is the cornerstone of any aviation quality program, and Allen is serious about aviation safety.
