Apronjet becomes first ARGUS broker in Turkey
Since its launch in 2005 in Ankara, Apronjet has made a commitment to safety and customer service. Now it can show customers its 'stamp of approval' from ARGUS as it achieves the Registered Charter Broker rating.

Apronjet Aviation has become the first charter broker in Turkey to earn its ARGUS Registered Charter Broker rating.

Founder and owner Zafer Yesilgul says: “This registration marks another important milestone in Apronjet's journey and is proof of our commitment, trustworthiness, professionalism and high standards, summarised as 'customer first, safety and ethics always'. The ARGUS rating puts Apronjet in elite company. In the absence of a national and global certification associated with the registration or formal licensing of air charter brokers, we sincerely believe ARGUS' broker rating programme provides the best independent proof of compliance along with industry best practices and requirements.”

ARGUS International president and CEO Joe Moeggenberg adds: “With an ever-increasing number of brokers entering the industry it is critical to keep customer safety, finances and comfort at the forefront of business practices. We're proud to have Apronjet as a Registered Charter Broker.”

Consistent with the ARGUS Gold and Platinum rating programme for charter operators, the ARGUS Charter Broker programme is designed to provide end consumers and aircraft operators with unbiased, factual and relevant data necessary to make informed and confident decisions every time they participate in a charter flight facilitated through a charter broker. An ARGUS Registered Charter Broker must provide ARGUS with documented proof of specific requirements, and annually pledge its commitment to adhering to industry best practices and applicable regulations. A Certified Charter Broker will submit the same documentation and annual pledge and will undergo an on-site audit once every two years to prove its compliance with industry best practices and applicable regulations.
