Polaris Award

Polaris Award

The "Polaris Award" is the highest decoration associated with civil aviation, awarded by IFALPA to airline crews in recognition for acts of exceptional airmanship, heroic action or a combination of these two attributes. In extraordinary cases, passengers may as well obtain this award for their heroism [http://www.ifalpa.org/Press%20Release/06PRL004.pdf] . The awards are presented every year on IFALPA's annual conference.
