Washington, DC, March 27, 2019 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce that Cleveland, Ohio-based Sky Quest LLC is the newest member to join the ACSF. The company began its service in 2001 as a single-plane charter operator, and today has grown its fleet to 16 aircraft. Sky Quest is yet one more aviation-oriented operator that also will participate in the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), created in cooperation between the ACSF and Federal Aviation Administration.
Along with 195 other member companies, Sky Quest supports the ACSF’s vision to advance and enable the highest levels of safety in personal and business aviation through the promotion and facilitation of risk management programs.
Sky Quest’s Director of Safety, Chris Tranbarger, said of his company’s recent membership, “We recognize ACSF as an industry leader and advocate in promoting, supporting and disseminating safety information and risk management programs. We feel strongly that their vision and mission align with that of Sky Quest.”
Tranbarger went on to say that, as a part of his company’s membership, they are enrolling in the ACSF and FAA’s highly praised Aviation Safety Action Program. “We also look forward to enhancing our safety efforts by participating as much as possible in ACSF industry events, and gain knowledge and awareness of aviation industry safety initiatives through the information ACSF makes available.”
ACSF President Bryan Burns lauded Sky Quest’s decision to join the ACSF. “The company’s rationale for becoming ACSF members illustrates its commitment to promoting and practicing safety above and beyond what is considered regulatory,” he said.
He added that the ACSF is particularly pleased that Sky Quest will also be participating in the ASAP. “This program goes several steps further to identify and reduce possible flight safety concerns, and mitigate risk.”
