Universal Aviation UK, based at London Stansted airport, has passed an International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling audit and is now an official IS-BAH accredited location.

“This is an extremely proud day for Universal Aviation, marking the official recognition of our efforts to reduce our clients' operating risk and stress when on the ground,” states MD for UK and Ireland Sean Raftery. “Our safety team is committed to having the highest global safety standards and has worked tirelessly over the past two years to attain this mark of distinction for our location.” Universal Aviation has more than 40 locations in 20 countries. Its Singapore facility is currently going through the IS-BAH accreditation process and more locations are scheduled to be audited in the coming year.

“Universal Aviation UK is the first of our locations to earn IS-BAH accreditation, but will not be the last, as we are fully committed to reaching this level of distinction at all of our locations,” explains VP, international, Charlie Mularski. “Over the next year, five more Universal Aviation ground support locations will be going through IS-BAH audits, starting with Singapore. Our clients' mission success is our highest priority and that means being committed to not just meeting but exceeding the industry's best practices for business aviation ground handlers.”
