Heron celebrates gaining ARGUS Gold
Heron Aviation has joined the ranks of more than 500 rated operators accredited by ARGUS, whose due diligence system offers the confidence and peace of mind many charter buyers now seek.
Heron Aviation is the latest member of the ARGUS Gold standard programme.

German operator Heron Aviation has achieved membership of the ARGUS family of operators with ARGUS Gold certification. This rating recognises the company's dedication to flight safety and serves as an endorsement of its rigorous operational practices.

“While already subjected to the thorough standards and oversight of EASA commercial operations, this independent verification provides our clients with an additional layer of confidence in our dedication to safety,” says accountable manager Martin Helbling. “We're excited to join the family of ARGUS operators and look forward to the recognition of our accomplishment in the marketplace.”

Heron Aviation is an aircraft management and business aviation services firm jointly headquartered in Germany and Switzerland. It is committed to the flawless execution of the aircraft ownership experience. Its commercial principles are centred around simplicity, flexibility and security for its clients.

ARGUS is an independent aviation safety and quality management organisation dedicated to best practices and oversight of business aviation operations. ARGUS Gold certifies that operators meet strict quality standards and safety requirements while subjecting flight crews to rigorous qualification checks.
