TAG Aviation has fully implemented Part CAMO for both its Malta (EU) and UK AOCs. This change in airworthiness approval introduces a safety management system (SMS) into the process, which expands the key role of the safety manager to enhance safety and minimise risks to airworthiness. TAG's team have worked hard with the regulators, it says, and are delighted to have received the Part CAMO without any audit findings. Having a well-established SMS attached to the operation for many years, this approval recognises an already mature system in place across the organisation.

TAG Aviation in Europe has also gained agreement across all its AOCs to utilise an industry-leading digital Tech Log system, which offer benefits to crew and clients for access to operational data about their aircraft anywhere and at any time.

The company says its safety culture is underpinned by its people, process and technology, and when combined with its 'SPIRIT' core values, confirms TAG's continued dedication to providing quality bespoke services for its clients.

“With safety always being our top priority we are very proud that, thanks to great teamwork, we have managed to reach this milestone of being fully implemented with Part CAMO,” says Stephanie Vella Gera, head of safety and compliance, TAG Aviation Europe. “We are pleased to say that, because our airworthiness department was already integrated within our SMS since implementation and before Part CAMO regulations were mandated, our transition was completely smooth, and it is now approved and part of the industry standard.”

“Since joining TAG Aviation just under three years ago, the rate of new and innovative business transformation has been astounding to witness, while at all times remaining true to TAG's core business values,” adds technical director Olly Walters. “Such business transformation is imperative to the company staying current and ahead of the market, which is only possible within a culture of safety and continual improvement, core elements to TAG's mature safety management system that has evolved over many years. Unquestionably our team's resolve in delivering these considerable changes over such a challenging period makes me proud to be part of the TAG family and serves to affirm TAG's partnerships and commitment to its clients for many years to come.”
