Washington, DC, April 19, 2022 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF.aero) is pleased to announce that the aircraft management and charter firm, Avemex, S.A. de C.V. (avemex.com.mx), based in Toluca de Lerdo, Mexico, is the first internationally based operator to complete the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS).
The ACSF IAS is the first and only extensive audit program specifically created for on-demand operators by a committee of air charter and private aviation industry leaders. It is conducted every 24 months and is in-depth in its evaluation of regulatory compliance and the operator’s Safety Management System, against both Federal Aviation Administration and international standards.
ACSF President Bryan Burns congratulated Avemex on the completion of its IAS certification. “As the name implies, the ACSF Industry Audit Standard is the most comprehensive industry audit available,” Burns said. “And it’s designed for those who want to go above and beyond minimum requirements. The IAS also gives aircraft owners and passengers peace of mind. When they see the ACSF Audit-Registered seal, they can rest assured that they’re flying on a safe aircraft with highly qualified crew who live and work within a ‘just culture.’”
According to Avemex’s CEO, Ing. Manuel Girault Ortiz de Montellano, the charter operator was interested in obtaining the ACSF Industry Audit Standard “to evaluate all our internal processes and procedures with the best international standards in the industry, as well as continue to grow as a company and reach ever higher levels of safety.”
Aviation customers are encouraged to seek out the ACSF IAS registered logo, and to urge 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 here.
