Elevate Jet has received an ARGUS Platinum rating, placing it in the upper five per cent of over 1,000 US-based charter operators. The Platinum rating is the highest level in the ARGUS audit standard and is awarded only to those air charter operators who have demonstrated successful implementation of industry best safety practices regarding their operations and maintenance.

Receiving Platinum means the operation was examined over several days by a team of on-site auditors and subsequently completed any corrective actions necessary to meet the standard.

“Passenger safety processes are our top priority,” states Doug Chouinard, director of operations. “It is an honour as aircraft operators to be distinguished as an Platinum business, as it reflects our due diligence in providing the highest level of safety to our passengers and pilots.”

“This Platinum Rating demonstrates Elevate Jet's continued commitment to safety and ongoing quality improvement in all areas of the organisation,” adds Joe Moeggenberg, CEO of ARGUS. “Interested parties can verify Elevate Jet's Platinum Rating status at any time via the CHEQ System.”
