The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has announced Avfuel president and CEO Craig R. Sincock as the recipient of the organization's highest annual honor—the William A. “Bill” Ong Memorial Award. Sincock will be presented with the award during a luncheon on November 3 at the NATA 2022 Aviation Business Conference in Miami. Established by NATA in 1984 in memory of the association’s co-founder and first president, the award recognizes the recipient for "extraordinary achievement and extended meritorious service to the general aviation industry."

“Craig Sincock is a prominent aviation business leader, philanthropist, and visionary who has spent his entire career connecting people, businesses, and cultures. It is a pleasure to honor his drive, leadership, passion, and propensity for giving back with NATA’s highest honor,” said NATA president and CEO Timothy Obitts.

Sincock acquired Avfuel in 1985 and has expanded the company from a regional fuel supplier to its current position as a leading independent global supplier of aviation fuel and services. He is a member of the World Presidents' Organization and is active in several aviation groups, including NATA, NBAA, GAMA, EAA and AOPA. Sincock also holds an FAA ATP certificate and frequently pilots Avfuel’s Dassault Falcon 2000LXS and Cessna Citation XLS+.
