ARGUS International, Inc. has signed an agreement with NEXUS of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Manamah, Bahrain, that will exclusively allow NEXUS to market, sell and support various ARGUS products throughout the Middle East aviation marketplace. This agreement covers all ARGUS Audit programs, ARGUS Rating products and PRISM Safety Management System products and services.

"The industry has become increasingly global in nature and the Middle East represents an extremely active market in terms of demand for air travel, with most forecasters anticipating this trend to continue," stated Joe Moeggenberg, President and CEO of ARGUS. "ARGUS has been evaluating various options to enter the marketplace and determined that a partnership with NEXUS would provide us with the means to successfully market, sell, deliver and support this region. We are extremely impressed with NEXUS' objective to bring industry-leading products and services into the Middle Eastern aviation marketplace, and believe that NEXUS President and CEO, Abdullah Al-Sayed has built a great team of professionals to support this mission."

In this partnership, NEXUS will develop a team based in the Middle East, to market, sell and support the ARGUS products. These include IOSA, ISBAO and ARGUS Platinum audits performed by ARGUS PROS, a global leader in aviation safety auditing, as well as the ARGUS CHEQ (Charter Evaluation and Qualification) Program which manages the Gold and Platinum Ratings for commercial operators and is the most recognized independent provider of due diligence information on charter operators around the world. The Safety Management System (SMS) services available from PRISM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARGUS, provide NEXUS with a wealth of SMS training, facilitation and solutions to offer the regional marketplace.

"NEXUS was created with the vision of partnering with best-in-class providers of valuable and pertinent aviation products and services", added Abdullah Al-Sayed, "The most solid foundations for growing aviation markets around the world are those with the strongest safety commitments and track records. I can think of no other organization more committed to improving aviation safety than ARGUS. The ARGUS audit, charter rating and PRISM SMS programs are world-recognized and respected for their success and influence. I am proud to have partnered with ARGUS and am confident that the Middle Eastern aviation community will embrace these products and services."
