Alexandria, VA, June 10, 2009 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to recognize Jet Solutions, LLC of Richardson, Texas, as the first operator to complete the Industry Audit Standard and achieve Registered status with the ACSF.
The ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) is a revolutionary audit program developed by the foundation to set the standard for the independent evaluation of an air charter or shared ownership company’s safety and regulatory compliance.
The IAS is the only audit program on the market today that comprehensively evaluates both an operator’s Safety Management System (SMS) and its Part 135 regulatory compliance. The IAS consists of a rigorous review of an operator’s processes and procedures, and regulatory compliance, as well as the operator’s implementation of and adherence to an SMS.
Jet Solutions L.L.C. is one of the largest FAR Part 135 on-demand air carriers in the world, having operated over one million hours since establishment in 1995 with an unblemished safety record.
“We are proud to have successfully completed the ACSF audit and to be recognized as the first operator to do so,” said Dennis Keith, president and owner of Jet Solutions. “The process provided a valuable review of our regulatory compliance procedures and the health of our safety management system. Our registration demonstrates the continuing efforts of all our employees to develop higher standards, and is a natural next step beyond our ISO registrations of the past. Not only will Jet Solutions be proud to market our Industry Audit Standard (IAS) registration, we encourage other operators to meet the audit standards. In the future, we will look for IAS registration when contracting operators to support our supplemental lift needs. Their registration will let us know exactly the standards to which they operate.”
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.
