Avfuel Corp. owner, president, and CEO Craig Sincock will be among those honored at the 19th annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards, which will be held next month in Los Angeles. The gala ceremony will be held on January 21 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Sincock, who acquired global fuel provider Avfuel nearly four decades ago, will receive the Kenn Ricci Lifetime Aviation Entrepreneur Award for his vision to disrupt and reinvent the aviation fuel supply chain. Under his stewardship, the company grew from a regional fuel distributor to a leading global supplier of aviation fuel and services. It now conducts business in 149 countries with more than 3,000 global fueling locations, including some 650 Avfuel-branded FBOs.
During the event, Sincock, an ATP-rated pilot who frequently flies the company’s aircraft, will be inducted into the Living Legends of Aviation. He will thus join the ranks of some 100 people making up a prestigious group of aerospace standouts that include entrepreneurs, innovators, industry leaders, astronauts, record breakers, celebrity pilots, and pilot celebrities.
