Alexandria, VA, June 13, 2013 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that CTP Aviation, Hayward, CA and Sterling Aviation, Milwaukee, WI have renewed their status on the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) Registry.
“By renewing their status on the IAS Registry, these companies have demonstrated their commitment to high standards,” said ACSF president Bryan Burns. “We congratulate them on their continued commitment.”
“Our mission at CTP Aviation is to provide our clients with trusted service, safety, comfort, and convenience,” said CTP Vice President and Director of Operations Selwyn House. “CTP prides itself on our culture of exceeding standards and our uncompromising commitment to safety. We are pleased to partner with ACSF in promoting the highest levels of safety within the aviation industry.”
The IAS is the first and only extensive audit program specifically created for on-demand operators by a committee of Part 135 and 91K industry leaders. It is conducted every 24 months and is in-depth in its evaluation of regulatory compliance and the operator’s SMS program against both FAA and international standards.
“We are pleased to have renewed our standing with the ACSF registry, said Sterling Aviation Vice President and Director of Operations Chris Mayer. “The ACSF standards are meaningful to our industry and to Sterling’s flight operations. Our charter clients and the other operators we serve can be assured of the highest safety standards being met by Sterling Aviation. We look forward to continuing ‘The Sterling Experience’ and our relationship with the Air Charter Safety Foundation.”
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.
