Alexandria, VA, October 1, 2013 — The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) is pleased to announce as its newest member Wheels Up, a revolutionary membership-based private aviation company that lowers the cost of entry to private aviation and provides unparalleled flexibility. By joining the ACSF, Wheels Up is among more than 108 other businesses that support the foundation’s vision to enable on-demand air charter providers, fractional program managers, and related businesses in achieving the highest levels of safety in the aviation industry.
“The safety of our members is ingrained in everything we do at Wheels Up,” said David Baxt, Co-Founder and President of Wheels Up. “Our members expect not only unparalleled customer service, but also our expertise, as their agent, to ensure that the high safety standards demanded by our members are met on each and every flight arranged by Wheels Up. As a pilot, I understand the value ACSF brings to our industry. Their efforts in supporting the implementation of Safety Management Systems, their creation of the Industry Audit Standard, and their leadership in making Aviation Safety Action Programs (ASAP) accessible to Part 135 operators of any size convinced us that we had to support the foundation.”
