The Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators awarded the entire crew of Flight 1549 a Master's Medal on January 22, 2009. The medal is awarded only rarely for outstanding aviation achievements. It is issued at the discretion of the Master of the Guild.[12]

The citation for the award is:“
The reactions of all members of the crew, the split second decision making and the handling of this emergency and evacuation was `text book` and an example to us all. To have safely executed this emergency ditching and evacuation, with the loss of no lives, is a heroic and unique aviation achievement. It deserves the immediate recognition that has today been given by the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators. ”
