Aviall moved upward from the seventh position on the 2016 Top 100 Military Friendly® Employer list.
"Aviall is honored to receive this prestigious designation as testament to our many initiatives aimed at supporting military veterans and service members," stated Aviall President and CEO Eric Strafel.

As a company, we have made a commitment to actively recognize, honor and support our veterans, service members and their families, always remembering their tireless dedication to our country and to Aviall."
Military Friendly® is the leading, time-tested, trademarked standard that measures an organization's level of commitment and success in creating opportunities and positive outcomes for members of the military community. New this year, Military Friendly® Awards showcase the most powerful and effective programs of more than 200 companies that were designated as "Military Friendly®" in November. Of those designated, 154 employers were recognized for excellence in different award categories. Companies competed for the designation through a data-driven survey process with criteria including benchmark scores across key programs and policies such as hiring and onboarding, opportunity and advancement, culture and commitment, and support and retention.
"All of our Military Friendly® award recipients set the standard for excellence," said Daniel Nichols, chief product officer of Victory Media and head of Military Friendly® development. "They offer exceptional examples of what it means not just to build a program that meets federal requirements, but one that serves the military and veteran community from classrooms to careers."
