Pentastar's adherence to the highest safety standards has long been a top priority, and the company has recently renewed both its ARGUS Platinum rating and IS-BAO Stage 2 registration.

Michigan, US operator Pentastar Aviation Charter has successfully renewed its ARGUS Platinum rating and its Stage 2 IS-BAO registration following an in-depth audit conducted by ARGUS International and third-party IS-BAO accredited auditors.

Vice president of flight operations and director of operations Robert Rufli says: “Pentastar's achievement in maintaining the ARGUS Platinum rating and IS-BAO Stage 2 registration reflects our corporate culture of adherence to the highest safety standards.

Pentastar's operations have been Platinum rated since 2006 and IS-BAO registered since 2010. The company is also Wyvern registered and a member of the Air Charter Safety Foundation. President and CEO Greg Schmidt adds: “The safety of our customers and employees is paramount to our mission.
