JetBlue Airways has recognised Guardsman Group with the International Security Business Partner award for the 2024–2025 period, as the American low-cost carrier’s top-performing security provider across its international network, including transatlantic operations.

This award celebrates Guardsman’s top-notch aviation security services at the Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) in Kingston, where the Kenny Benjamin-founded company has consistently demonstrated excellence in protecting passengers, assets and operations.

“This award is a proud testament to the professionalism and commitment of our Guardsman team. From day one, we have built our reputation on trust, discipline, and service. To be recognised by JetBlue, a global leader in aviation, reaffirms the standards of excellence that define Guardsman,” said Benjamin.

The award was presented to David Whittaker, group managing director of the Guardsman Group, who accepted the recognition on behalf of the entire team. It acknowledges the company’s ongoing efforts to uphold the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and operational efficiency, reflecting JetBlue’s core values of care, integrity, and responsibility.

“This recognition is a testament to the dedication and discipline of our security professionals. Aviation security demands precision, vigilance, and teamwork, and this award reinforces our reputation as a trusted partner in safeguarding the skies,” Whittaker said.

JetBlue’s International Security Business Partner Award is presented annually to the security company that exemplifies JetBlue’s values and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of its customers, crew, and stakeholders. Guardsman’s performance stood out among all international partners for its reliability, responsiveness, and proactive approach to risk management.

As one of the Caribbean’s leading security and risk management companies, Guardsman continues to set industry standards in aviation, corporate, and specialised security solutions. This recognition from a global aviation leader underscores the group’s pivotal role in ensuring the secure operation of Jamaica’s international gateways.
