Press Release

ARGUS International, Inc. has completed more than 25 combination IS-BAO/ARGUS audits since developing a single audit protocol that combines the International Business Aircraft Council's (IBAC) International Standard-Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) with the ARGUS Platinum Rating. ARGUS announced their support of IS-BAO as the appropriate standard for business aircraft operators worldwide at last year's EBACE.

"Our decision to include the IS-BAO standard within the ARGUS rating system was a significant step forward in developing a common standard for charter operators around the globe," said Joe Moeggenberg, ARGUS President and CEO. "In the past, charter operators have had to bear the burden and added expense of multiple audits or customer-specific requirements. The IS-BAO not only eliminates that, but in conjunction with the ARGUS audit, ensures that an operator meets the requirements of an important international standard as well as those of many of the largest brokers and charter buyers in the world."
