Dubai-based Titan Aviation Group has become the latest charter operator to join the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF). Along with 176 other companies, Titan supports ACSF's vision to promote and enable the highest levels of safety in personal, business and charter aviation through the promotion and facilitation of risk management programmes.

MD Sakeer Sheik comments: “Every accreditation helps our organisation to better understand the finer aspects of regulations and function. This helps in the overall enhancement of our operating standards and benefits all stakeholders including our passengers.” He adds that Titan is looking to add up to four more aircraft before the end of this year.

“Safety is at the foundation of all our services,” says Titan's US director of jet charter and marketing Michelle Gamble. “Our steadfast dedication to passenger safety and security is supported by a comprehensive and ongoing programme of internal review and third-party audits. Our membership heightens the validity of our commitment to safety, and we're very pleased to have the support of the ACSF.”

ACSF president Bryan Burns adds: “Titan's entire company is built around a top-down culture of safety that expects and encourages clear, open dialogue, empowering every team member to be an active contributor to the welfare of its passengers. We are delighted it has joined us.”

Sheik is particularly proud that Titan secured a Part 135 certificate from the US and a San Marino AOC this year: “It was not easy, but we made it happen thanks to our industry partners.”
