The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) will honor flight attendant Sydney Bosmans, 27, with the Above and Beyond Award for Heroic Achievement for her actions in the aftermath of a crash involving a Hop-A-Jet Bombardier Challenger 604 earlier this year.
Bosmans will receive the prestigious award during a reception at NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), which takes place Oct. 22-24 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On Feb. 9, 2024, a Bombardier Challenger 604 en route from Columbus, Ohio, suffered a dual-engine flameout while approaching Naples Airport (APF) in Florida. The aircraft crashed into a highway and noise barrier wall, resulting in the death of the two pilots.
