Washington, DC, May 17, 2019 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that Northern Jet Management, Grand Rapids, MI, has renewed its status on the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) Registry.
“We congratulate Northern Jet Management on renewing their status on the IAS Registry,” said ACSF president Bryan Burns. “They have once again demonstrated their commitment to continuous improvement.”
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.
“Meeting the high standards of the ACSF audit adds an exclamation point to the commitment to safety in this organization,” said Steve Cok, Director of Operations at Northern Jet Management. “The team involved in this is doing a tremendous job, continuing to improve our safety culture and implement industry best practices and procedures across all areas of the company.”
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.
