Alexandria, VA, February 5, 2010 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce the addition of JetSelect Aviation of Columbus, Ohio, to the ACSF Industry Audit Standard Registry (IAS). JetSelect joins Executive Fliteways, Million Air Dallas, Sun Air Jets, Jet Solutions, and Bombardier Flexjet as operators that have completed the IAS audit and achieved Registered status with the ACSF.
The IAS is a comprehensive audit for Part 135 and 91K operators that consists of a thorough review of an operator’s processes and procedures and regulatory compliance, as well as the operator’s implementation of and adherence to an SMS.
“Our entire team of aviation professionals takes great pride in achieving this registry status,” said Stephen Lister, vice president of operations and director of safety for JetSelect Aviation. “We know from our long-term experience in business aviation that safety is a condition that happens on purpose and specifically through the dedication and hard work from each of our people. The IAS audit was rigorous and comprehensive, covering every aspect of our program. We are encouraged to see the global aviation community move towards the single set of standards that have been set forth by the Air Charter Safety Foundation that should allow operators such as ourselves more time to focus on practicing the processes and require less time having them measured against the list of various standards that have been in play over the past ten years.”
ACSF has made an extensive investment to create a comprehensive audit where both operators and their customers can be assured of process integrity and transparency.
Customers should look for the ACSF IAS registered logo and encourage their preferred charter provider to participate in the program. The ACSF makes its operator registry and key company details available at no charge, so verification of IAS registration is quick and easy. Charter consumers can view the registry at acsfdev.com/registry.
