ARGUS International, Inc. (ARGUS) is pleased to announce the new Trip Assurance program for charter passengers flying with ARGUS Rated operators. Impressed by the ARGUS Charter Evaluation and Qualification (CHEQ) system and pre-flight TripCHEQ report, Nationwide Insurance Company developed a unique program offering travel accident insurance coverage for passengers traveling on ARGUS Rated charter operators. The insurance coverage is automatic when ARGUS CHEQ subscribers receive a pre-flight "Green" TripCHEQ report when flying with an ARGUS Rated charter operator. To learn more about the ARGUS Trip Assurance program, please visit the ARGUS booth #3207 at NBAA 2012.

The ARGUS Trip Assurance program includes insurance coverage underwritten by the Nationwide Life Insurance Company, one of the most respected and recognized brands in the global insurance community. The travel accident insurance coverage varies with charter operator's ARGUS Rating, increasing from ARGUS Gold, Gold Plus, and Platinum. The ARGUS Trip Assurance program comes at no extra charge for passengers, operators, or charter brokers.

Syed Rizvi, vice president and chief specialty insurance officer at Nationwide stated, "After performing a significant amount of research on ARGUS and their CHEQ program, we at Nationwide were impressed by their commitment to data accuracy, strict policies and requirements and the historical safety track record of the ARGUS Rated charter operators. We are proud to offer the exclusive ARGUS Trip Assurance program to those who subscribe to the ARGUS CHEQ due diligence program."

"ARGUS pioneered the CHEQ concept over a decade ago and since then has not waivered on its commitment to accurate data and detailed due diligence on each of our ARGUS Rated operators," said Joe Moeggenberg, ARGUS president and ceo. "We are very proud to offer the ARGUS Trip Assurance program, underwritten by Nationwide Insurance Company, as it furthers our promise to buyers and passengers to "Fly Confidently" with ARGUS Rated charter operators."

TripCHEQ is the industry leading due diligence and charter vetting system for on-demand charter aircraft around the globe. TripCHEQ is an important component of the ARGUS CHEQ program, sometimes referred to as the ARGUS Ratings program, featuring 446 ARGUS Gold, Gold Plus, and Platinum rated charter operators. The ARGUS CHEQ staff manages 1.5 million records on charter operators, pilots, and aircraft, which includes an excess of 250,000 incident and accident records. An ARGUS TripCHEQ report compiles all relevant data and information on a specific operator, aircraft, and flight crew and compares that information against both ARGUS and customer specific safety and operational requirements. A "Green" TripCHEQ confirms that all requirements set forth by either ARGUS or the customer have been met.
