Washington, DC, June 30, 2015 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that Pinnacle Air Charter, Scottsdale, AZ, is the newest Part 135 charter operator to join the ACSF. Along with over 120 other companies, Pinnacle Air Charter now supports the mission of the ACSF to raise the safety bar in the on-demand charter and fractional industry.
“Our membership heightens the validity of our company philosophy,” said Pinnacle Air Charter President, Curt Pavlicek. “Chartering your own private jet does much more than offer a reliable sense of travel; it also puts our clients in control of their time, destination and safety. We are very pleased to have the support of the ACSF in our commitment to safety.”
Pinnacle Air Charter specializes in aircraft charter, with the parent company Pinnacle Aviation focusing on sales, acquisitions and management.
“We welcome Pinnacle Air Charter into the foundation,” said ACSF President Bryan Burns, “and congratulate them on their commitment to safety as a core value for their company.”
The ACSF has developed the industry audit standard, an all-inclusive audit tailored for Part 135 and 91K operators that acts as a detailed gap analysis of an operator’s management practices. The audit program consists of a thorough review of an operator’s processes and procedures, regulatory compliance, and the operator’s implementation of and adherence to a safety management system (SMS).
